Re: Bell/TSI "accidentally" disconnected my DSL! It's all fairly recent in the past year or so. I do think too though that in some cases its simply an incompetent field tech. From what I understand BTS has hired something like 1000 new workers in the last year or two. We will be addressing these issues soon though, these are things that ebb and flow spanning years... Years ago, it was great, then it was terrible, then it was great... We have to work through it.

Do you think Bell has technicians just waiting on your every beck and call to fix your troubles as soon as you call in? Bell serves thousands upon thousands of customers and repair tickets must follow a process in order to get resolved. |

Yeah. I do. We used to be able to call in and sometimes same day it would get fixed. To be offline for an entire week? Come on. TekSavvy has thousands upon thousands of customers too, it's a matter of staffing appropriately and having the will to make right where mistakes have been made... There will always be mistakes but it's how you deal with them.

I remember the two jokers they sent when I moved into my soon to be former apt. I hadn't moved everything in yet and they were snickering that I didn't have much of anything, and I was only testing the connection with one of my netbooks.
They said they were 'summer students'.
Sending some high school pissants to do a job that requires a technician, typical Bell. Just like them outsourcing to India for their phone support. |

I was talking to a Rogers tech directly employed when they installed my home monitoring and he understands himself why they act like idiots because they literally get paid half of what he does and only per hour on a work order until completed, so they like to dick around.
Rogers tech was a good guy surprisingly and agreed the contractors should all be fired as they (the directly employed techs) always have to fix their mistakes.
Don't get me wrong there are several great guys working as sub-contractors but they are the minority. |

Hurm, The card was pulled. Nothing to do with anybody other then a mistake by the field tech.
As far it being too easy for our subs to be offline... Why would that be any different then any other sub going to them? They all have all sorts of problems and they all need to be sorted out.

Why is it arrogant to expect to get reasonable support for something we're paying top dollar for? I'm sorry, I totally disagree with you and I don't feel I'm being arrogant in the least.
5 years ago, we used to get much better support, we were much much smaller then. In a situation like this where we had a field tech make a mistake and combined with our being on it and pushing it right from the get go, I remember it, I remember in many cases they would find a way to go back and fix it the same day. I pushed it straight to our escalations team and still it took a week. This just didn't happen back then. There should be a way to escalate these kinds of mistakes in their procedures and just out of pride, the tech that made the mistake should want to go back and fix their mistake. This is what's wrong these days, there's no pride. I've been selling DSL since 2002 directly from them and I have seen it better. Why is it such a bad thing to expect similar now?
I don't understand how you think any of this is arrogant.

Them be the ones.
But seriously, if the CRTC does not think internet service is essential, turn it all off for a week, watch what happens.
Our economy and the core of our society depends on internet access. More now than ever.
It is absolutely essential.
The more the CRTC allows these shenanigans to continue, the more our economy suffers.
Them the facts.
