Bell's crooked practices

Hmm. Let's see. Who am I going to believe? Symantec, a worldwide leader in internet security, or Bell Sympatico Internet who illegally throttles 3rd party ISP connections and who has falsely charged me (and others). It took me around 10 phone calls over a 5 month period to cancel my service and get a refund on the amount I had overpaid.

In the meantime, Bell charged $100 to my credit card, without warning, claiming I had signed up for a contract (which I never had).

If I hadn't had time to continue making phone calls, Bell would have scammed around $150 from me in total.

Not to mention as someone on this site pointed out they are using out of date statistics themselves to support their new wholesale throttling policy.

Symantec is the world wide leader in internet security just like AOL is the world wide leader in internet connections.

Quantity, not quality.

Very astute comparison and absolutely dead-on.

Symantec has taken a serious nosedive in quality over the past 5-7 years. Their Corporate Antivirus product is still excellent though.
