Re: Westlinkcable.net and Westlink Cable is a scam

Just to let everyone know I hae started up westlink reports again but only because I have been seeing others that are getting screwed up Shaw so I just put It up to get there attention and I'm starting to see that with Teksavvy down east that people have been having issues and such. Big companies need to get there act together before someone like me makes and puts out that they are a bad company. I'm not doing that westlink reports for WestLink Cable I'm doing It for other customers go signup directly with Shaw. Has far I've seen they need to wake the hell up.

What makes you think you're any different than the other tons of people who have already posted terrible reviews of the big companies?

Covered in another thread here, at length. But I think it deserves its own thread for google searches.

»Warning about Cable Gator in Toronto area

Westlinkcable.net is the latest in a a long chain of scams. It started with Cable Gator, at least on this site, but at this point the scam is Westlinkcable.net.

Since you have used them on WIFI, you already have a good idea of what they are like. If you want to know further then I suggest reading up of Telus and their practises towards wholesalers's/reseller's users.

But have no choice not to I don't wanna go straight through Shaw and don't wanna go back to Distributel because all they carry Is 25mbps Internet I want faster! Unlimited Internet thankyou. Plus Shaw Is messing up so no thanks on getting them either reseller or not I'm going with a telus provider until shaw gets their shit together.

Oh NOOOOES !

Not DSL !

Truthfully, I prefer Cable too, but it is only because of how Bell lets the local wiring around here 'go to POTS', as it were.

That's a JOKE, Son !

(but seriously, I do prefer Cable, though not for the same reasons which seem to matter to Robb, the last time he commented on why)

I also wish to mention that I get MY Cable Internet from an independent ISP called 'START Communications', who DO have blocks of their own IP addresses (unlike WestLink Cable etc), DO provide service to people who pay for it, and do NOT require the fudging of a speed test result.

On the Cogeco network, they are solid technologically, and START's customer service is very good to excellent.

They even do followup calls to check that installs/repairs went properly.

I almost forgot the fees for the Mandatory Options ...

Mandatory Options
. New modem required every 6 months since we don't push new firmware to existing modems
. New phone number every year because we accidentally gave it away to the somebody else and they won't give it back
. Snowfall insurance fee in case we have to dig up your cable under snow (fee payable monthly even in summer)
. Squirrel insurance fee in case squirrels chew your cable
. Carpenter ant insurance fee in case the wall that the cable that goes through is destroyed by carpenter ants

Then the most important fee ...

The fee increase protection fee which for $4 per month protects you from increases in fees for 6 months then after 6 months your rate will increase to the then prevailing rate and the protection fee will increase by $1 per month.

Except that Telus offers their service thru DSL, not Cable.

Remember what you said not too long ago about hating DSL ?

So whom would they be? You must be paying an arm and a leg for speeds like that.
