Hey Nate, I’ve been running Norton Family Premier for about a year now and have poked their support a few times. Here’s the low-down from my real-world use:

1. Responsiveness
• Live Chat: Usually under 5 minutes during US business hours.
• Phone Support: 10–15 minute wait on average. Not rapid, but they’re friendly and patient.
• Email Tickets: Expect 24–48 hours for a proper answer—good for non-urgent stuff.

2. Quality of Help
• Pros: The reps are knowledgeable about setup quirks—like browser extensions or new OS updates. They’ll even remote in (with your OK) to sort filters that won’t stick.
• Cons: If your issue is super specific (e.g., teen finds a weird bypass), you might get a generic troubleshooting script first.

3. What’s Hype vs. Real
• Hype: They promise “perfect content blocking.” Reality: Kids still dial up VPN apps or private windows. You’ll need to stay on top of blocked exceptions.
• Real: Screen time scheduling works well, and alerts (new app, location check-ins) arrive reliably.

Tips to smooth support interactions:
• Have your license key and device details ready.
• Reproduce the issue live so you can walk the rep through it.
• Check Norton’s community forums first—often someone’s already posted the fix.

Overall, if you want solid web filtering and time controls but don’t need 24/7 instant help, Norton Family Premier does the job. Just budget an hour or two if you hit a snag, and you’ll be fine.
