Grrr... 10 days no internet....

Post by J-P »

ohhh I can rant for a long time on this one...

The short story is: a few people made a few mistakes and we went without for quite a long time. Really ticks me off!

I had five months of no Internet in IN. Now THAT was annoying.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I would be fine as long as work was over. I'd be upset if work was still going on, I'd worry. Now, if I was still working and just couldn't go on the internet then I wouldn't care :)

I was on the phone will Bell Canada almost every single day.

By Thursday I'd had it. Their tech support call center is in southern India, and the billing department is in the Caribbean. Each department claimed it was the other's responsibility and trying to get a hold of someone local to flip the "on" switch was almost impossible. When the local tech called me on Friday to say it had been turned back on, he couldn't believe that it took 10 days to get the work order (for a 2 min job).

It frustrates the hell out of me to think of all those jobs lost to the other countries which should, in fact, be in Canada.

I hate Bell. We recently had to deal with them when switching internet companies and it took well over a week to get anything done. Now they won't stop harassing us to switch to them even though we keep telling them to leave us alone. Between Bell and Rogers... :mad:

I have internet at my apartment office, and at my husband's office, and I'm very rarely at either one. So my only internet has been my android phone for about 6 months or longer, the internet cable bill was ridiculous and we switched to the apartment's "free wireless". It pretty much never works, and if it does work, it parties like it's 1999.
