Time to sell Cisco stock? edavid3001 08-21-06

I have a network of about 95% all Cisco equipment. It's not a large
network, but we do have numerious switches, routers, PIX, etc. The
largest model we have is a 6509. We have around 100 various devices
from Cisco.

We are replacing a portion of our network due to age. I realize
$200,000 US may not be a lot to a company like Cisco, but why would
they refuse to get us a quote? Our first VAR has taken almost 2 months
and still will not get me a quote. We have tried 2 other VARs, one
being CDW. No quote. The last I heard, all the Cisco reps were at a
conference in Vegas.

Seems to me it's time to dump my Cisco stock and look elsewhere.
Anyone else having these problems with Cisco? (We are a half a billion
+ /year company that is doing well and have good credit.)

Not the experience in the UK. It is easy to get a queue
of vendors here.

Yes - dump your Cisco stock and the gear and get something else.

I have worked with CDW on various Cisco equipment for my company and
had a quote the same day. I also had constant contact with the rep I
worked with so I have had no problems. (and I was spending less than
$200,000)
