Re: Acanac - anyone have them?

However, AGAIN, this is not just an Acanac thing, it's an IISP thing. Every IISP. Start, Acanac, Distributel, Teksavvy, ElectronicBox, CIKTel, etc, etc, etc, all play by the same rules and all, more or less, operate in the same fashion. This is the price you pay for getting such a great deal versus being gouged by the Incumbents....

I did already understand that, hence "for example".

Anyway, thanks for the effort you've put in, responding and explaining things.

I suppose, then, with risks like that, the risk for them being found out is not worth the reward of a single or few happy customer(s). I understand now.

It's still a sad state of affairs that they can't just call on incumbent technicians more easily.

I agree 100%.

I went through an issue with Ebox for 8 months and it's still not resolved to this day. It's resolved from my perspective because I was compensated in the form of extra usage, but the issue with Videotron's Tool is not.

Just the way it goes. You have to cut the IISP a little slack sometimes because their hands are tied in most situations.

Once again, Acanac shows its incompetence. I opened a ticket with them yesterday saying this:

"I am switching to another ISP. Please cancel my cable internet account and service effective 2013-09-20 (September 20, 2013). Please continue to provide this month's paid service until that day.

Thank you!"

They responded with this then CLOSED the ticket:

"Hello,

Would you please provide us with your reason of cancellation? Please let us know if there is any problem.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Acanac Inc."

I can't even respond to the ticket now because it's closed. Not only did they not deal with the ticket's actual business, but they asked a question AND closed the ticket. It's incompetence like this that makes me hate Acanac.

Hopefully I can actually set the cancellation date in time. I've PMed Fergless in hopes that they can help me.

My response was going to be this:

"Well, things like this. Firstly, I was never refunded the month of downtime last year, when my connection was down for 27 days, which, in itself, is unacceptable. I was told I would be refunded, but it just never happened. Nobody took care of it. There are other reasons, but I don't want to go into great detail about it after I've explained myself so many times to Acanac and on dslreports forums. There's an example right here. You should have said somewhere in your response, 'OK. Your service will be cancelled on the provided date.' I'm okay with you asking the question, but don't leave out the important part. Answer the straight-forward, businesslike ticket, THEN ask questions about motive. Anyway, I've already made my decision. I've already signed up for the other ISP."

You should be able to answer them even if it's says closed, did you try to click on the link just beside Tracking URL under the ticket ID ? It should works.

Hi Alex, I replied to your PM.
Pay no attention to a closed ticket, just reply and the ticket will go to Billing in queue for processing. If you have any problems with it please do not hesitate to contact me on the Acanac forum.

Thank you.

That's weird. I couldn't respond to the ticket before (and I did try!) but now I can. I don't understand. Well, thank you then. I was wrong, and I'm sorry. I have responded.

I tried them for their "free" month offering a few years ago. Took me 3 months go get in touch with them to cancel my billing, which began immedately (free month was at the end of 12 months of billing, jeeeeeez)

Then they didn't refund me because I was "using" the service (the vps was on the whole time, but I couldn't access it due to not being emailed any authentication info)

So yeah, Canaca/Acanac is to be avoided.

Re: Acanac - Canaca ?

Was that Acanac or Canaca?
