Re: [Internet] Yet another Bell Hell experience..
said by Deadpool  :1. With all due respect, I don't see why you think you should be given a break on the cancellation fee if you agreed to stay for 2 years. 2. It's no different then having a car lease. Sure you can break your lease at any time or return the car but you'll still owe 100% of what's left of what you agreed to pay. The only exception being if you traded it in for a new lease or purchase from the same dealer. And in that case they'll just tag on all or most of what you had left on the old lease to the new one. 3. If for the "phone" side of things you got what you paid for from the contract you agreed to, why do you feel it's unfair for them to expect you to honor your end of the bargain? 1. This is exactly why Quebec wants to pass a new consumer concerning this.
People buy a service based on what the representatives tell them, or the ads tell them and they get something totally different.
Like the person above, he bought a 7-meg service. What did Bell give him?
In addition to this we all know Bell is fucking people over on B/W usage, as he experienced in a couple of topics (and as can be seen in many other topic on this forum and Bell's own forum).
With all do respect, did Bell gie this person what was represented?
With all do respect, Is bell over-charging him on B/W?
With all due respect is he being taken for an open wallet to rape?
2. Yes, this is VERY different than a car lease and having bumper-to-bumper warranty.
If you truely wish to argue this this point, I'll be more than glad to engage. But somehow I think you will back-away.
Since you want to equate this to a car lease, why not equate this to something like... oh say, something regulated.
Nice try... but you even know this analogy is false. Since you yourself argued this analogy was false 1.5 years ago (use search).
3. He already stated, "Phone" side of things, i'm willing to "eat" the cancellation fees."
Why are you sayng he said different?
He didn't.
But you are playing it like he said something else, which is again false.
Matter of fact, since he doesn't have what he paid for and is being charged in excess for fictitious B/W use (and being defrauded in this manner), and because he probably took the phone contract due to a savings when bundled with the false pretense of getting what he is paying for in terms of internet service, he should in all likelihood also get a what you are claiming (although he never said that).
Even you stated it sounded like he is signed up for something else due to what he is being billed for in the 2nd reply to this topic.
But I expect nothing less. |

1 edit | I was referring specifically to the phone contract, not Internet.
Edit:
In regards to the Internet piece though, the only thing that could potentially go against you is the fact you waited an entire year before deciding the service wasn't satisfactory and cancel. Kind of a long time to give any company the benefit of the doubt, don't you think? |

| Deadpool, uhm, I tried for months when I first got my internet.. calling, posting.. etc. Then I got busy with life and real things to even have the time or patience to deal with this crud. Thats why. I'm unemployed right now, so its in my best interest to get out of relatively expensive (yes.. when you're unemployed and doing odd jobs just to make ends meet.. its expensive).. I'd rather have to pay $45 a month combined for internet and phone than 80-90$ combined that I have now with Bell. I have the time now because I am unemployed to "deal" with this situation. So yeah. I'd like to get this over with as soon as I can without the hassle of calling this place.. getting hung up.. calling again and explaining to numerous people (already done that ) why I wanna cancel and stuff like this. Chances are when i call again.. they'll ask again everything and want me to explain to them everything. ugh. its too much! I have high BP as it is without going through this.
Deadpool, if you could do something on your end to fix this, cancel the service, I'd very much appreciate it as you already know whats been going on. Or any other bell employees who are reading this. |

Kind of a long time to give any company the benefit of the doubt, don't you think? ROFL. That comment is just dripping with irony. The way Bell responds to problems these days, a year may be just enough time to get a problem escalated from level 1 to level 2. Heck, I've been kept on hold with Bell tech support for up to 3 months at a stretch (they then hung up :^).
Moral of story, per Deadpool (a Bell manager): At the first sign of trouble with Bell, get out and run for the hills! Patience is a liability (not a virtue) and may be used against you at a later date.
Bring back the old Bell. It was a stand-up outfit that people respected. |
