    My Other Reviews·Acanac
    It's simple: I've been a Bell customer for nearly 20 years. Due to BS's packet rifling, unauthorized tampering with customer's contracts, and outsourcing of support - I finally switched my DSL away.

    Due to Bell/Sympatico's anticompetitive attitude towards its wholesalers, I then switched my phone away too.

    That's it.

    well hmmm

    things that make you go hmmmmmm

    Unless you went cable, Bell has the last laugh at you as they collect your money from the Bell DSL wholesaler and the Bell telephone reseller.

    So what exactly did you do to get rid of Bell and show them your dissatisfaction?

    If you went wholesale and resale, then the answer to this is nothing.

    Blah blah blah. Brilliant newsflash from Noshitistan.
    All I did was update the tense on my review, and you felt it was CRITICAL for you to anonymously point out an obvious, uninteresting 'fact'?

    Get a new hobby.

    There seems to be a flaw not only in your reading comprehension, but your very understanding of how the review section of this site is supposed to work.

    After you've finished cogitating on your feeble grasp of the world around you, read this.

    ANON in yerface

    Re: things that make you go hmmmmmm

    yeah yeah I know all about your ramblings and nonsense from other topics about how all anons are trolls.

    I made a comment. If you can't live with it then too bad for you.

    If you are going to claim how significant you are for leaving BEll then handing your money right back to them via a wholesaler, then you need to wake up.

    Feel free to troll and flame someone else. You have already in the past proven you're a troll to any anon poster. Matter of fact you were already warned of this... remember ...I do.

    Apart from making yourself look more and more like a (oddly inattentive) stalker, you've contributed nothing but pollution here. Pollution that no one else will read, btw.

    I won't try to address your misinformed remarks - but be aware that you will not get the last word in my own review, and you're only going to be made to feel more foolish as you continue.

    Also, you're projecting.

    Maybe u should be "told" again for making reviews for a company you haven't been with in... in.... how long has it been now?

    Given that you can't read, I'll assume that you're a religious fundamentalist of some sort and/or an ADQ supporter. The poster has had Bell home phone for nearly 20 years and had Sympatico for some arbitrary amount of time in the past. That would certainly make him eligible to review this ISP.

    lol heh

    @videotron.ca

    Re: things that make you go hmmmmmm

    lol by that same reasoning everyone in Quebec and ontario could make a review under Bell since they all grew up with Bell in their house.

    		 I suppose ^ that might be true to some extent, but certainly anyone who has ever paid for Bell services is qualified to write a review.

    jj_frap, above, has it right. The THOUSANDS of other posters here who review an ISP once they have left are also correct. I invite you to read their statements. You will start to notice some shocking parallels - not the least of which is that many of them are written in the past tense. Fear not! They don't tend to use too many big words. Begin:

    So far, no one has "told" me anything about anything. Why don't you go ahead? Show me what for.

    It's been a blissful 10 months since I left Symp. Though I still had Bell telephone when I first wrote this brief review, I don't use them any longer. Hence my need to come here and adjust my write-up.

    Actually, I'll nix the ADQ part and just assume that your critic is a fundie: His writing style suggests that English is his native language, so it's not logically possible that be backs the ADQ.

    Incidentally, I was in Gatineau (Hull borough) this past Friday and saw a fair number of Quebec Solidaire signs. Any chance that they'll pick up some PQ ridings in Eastern Montreal?

    1 edit    		 Well said fiestaware; I was in your situation too and am gladly rid off bell India dsl[cough].

    And you handled the 'anon' commenter very handily. I suspect he doesn't get invited to too many family get-togethers for obvious reasons.
