Have you approached either GlobalSwich or Fujitsu (two of the biggest and most secure by far) to see if they offer direct support?

Chris is dead-on here. And its worthwhile shopping around to see if there are any hosts that provide support.particularly local, as part of the package.
Most hosts now sub-contract their support services to 3rd parties and use this as a profit centre.
We've gone from having a terribly efficient in-house (Manchester UK) mob to a dedictaed, but considerably less competent bunch in India.
A smaller, 'hungrier' host might offer 'free' services that a larger one does not.
