I'm currently in the process of moving to a Timbercreek building in London, Ontario. North London, exactly 3km away from Masonville mall, so it is a residential area with some nice 300k-500k houses in the mix. Definatly not the sticks, definatly an area some nice internet is in. Twice I have called Rogers, and they are unable to find my apartment no matter what information I give, be it postal code, address, street. On the phone with Bell a few minutes ago, she determined my street to be the the street about six hundred meters from my building, which is not in any way my building.
While I was talking to Bell, I was also chatting with their LivePerson LiveChat to try to sort this out. She ended up saying, and I quote,
"I've double checked and I could found the apartment numbers like 400, 401, 402 and 404, unfortunately there is no 403 in the list. Bell is working very hard to expand its coverage area every day. We have recently launched new Fibe plans in certain areas and we hope to serve your area very soon."
This is not a new "area" .. it is literally on the same floor! It is a five story walkup, serviced by an internet box on each floor, which then transmits to our routers in each individual apartment. This is a fairly standard set up. My neighbor on the left is getting 25/7 TekSavvy, my neighbor on the right is getting 15/10 Bell, and my neighbor down the hall is getting 75/2 (lol) from Robbers.
But yet, either a company cant see me, and apparently does not want my money, or, the only thing they can offer me is apparently a cable connection for 6mb/800kb.
What the heck can I do here? Seriously!
Here is a copy of the picture I tweeted Bell.
And just for fun, there is a second one, with one of their "solutions". LOL
Here are bare facts:
Premium DSL / ASDL is available in the building. My neighbors on the same floor have it, therefore the infrastructure is in place.
I have a DSL cable hookup to go into a modem in my room.
No one can seem to either get me better speed than 6 mbps down/ 800 kbps up, which is criminal, or can't find me at all.
Is there any way to just make them take a trip out there and hook me up?
