Re: [Contest] 12 Days of Giveaways Winners File

I made a facebook account with a dummy name just to enter. I've since closed it. I don't see what the big problem is: it's a giveaway, not a lottery. I pay for internet, and if service is performing as advertised and I'm paying exactly what I'm supposed to be paying, then cool.

Hey Marc, how are POI capacities across the board? Good? Great.

End of story, for me.

POIs are great. We're working hard to make sure capacity is good for March ATM...

Whats happening in March....? Sorry for asking what seems like a dumb question but there must be more to that statement.

Thanks for update on POI's regardless.

Back on topic: My only complaint was the contest was FB only. If the intention was to target only people who use social media then it was a success, otherwise not so much.

You're welcome. Pretty sweet prizes eh? For sure there will be more.

We managed to get some special deals for some of the staff too if they wanted. They couldn't enter the contest but we made sure everybody was looked after.

Yeah. I don't like that either. Not sure what's involved to make that right. Ill have to get legal involved.

You might have the Quebec focused contests run out of your new Gatineau offices that'd make a lot of sense to me.

TSI has done customer draws before, I remember the ones with Georges Laraque, heck I even remember Rocky throwing a TF2 tournament ages ago, was a blast.
However, I can say that public facebook comps can be a touchy matter, as we've seen. Some people do contests practically for a living, re-entering hundreds of them daily. I'm not throwing any stones or saying you're doing it wrong, but it's nice to see TSI customers getting the preferential treatment, lol maybe it woulda been better if the contest was set-up so TSI customers received extra entries? That way you could still have promoted to new customers and made old ones special.

Oh well, let's not cry over spilled milk, it's a new year Congrats to those who won and thanks for the opportunity.

Sounds good to me, especially considering the potential impact of the CRTC decision regarding the new cable speeds. With more speed available to users there is bound to be some increase there. Thanks for the prompt response.

IIRC, Quebec WAS included in a TSI contest 2 or 3 years ago. Then they were excluded from the contest after that. I asked about that exclusion here in the forum and was told it was a 'paperwork' or 'deadline' issue. But, maybe it was really more complicated than that.

BTW, that was a very generous set of prizes TSI! It put some contests run by much bigger companies to shame (LG?).

yeah.. but I dont think we were complying with the Quebec laws.

I'll look into what it would take to do it right and make sure we do what we can to include Quebec going forward.
