I've been without internet for over a month now waiting for Rogers to provision a new modem.

Part of the problem I've encountered is that TekSavvy wasn't getting back to me when Rogers had supposedly responded to my tickets. An extra day or two of delay for each ticket update and escalation has cost me a considerable amount of time.

I've spent way too much time doing the same things over and over with the results not improving.

You'd think that at some point I would have been offered a temporary alternative while we wait, but nope.

There is little lag between when we get updates and when you communicate with you. We have been making extra sure of this. Many resources are diverted from the front lines to do exactly that and no matter how long the wait times are, that team always has the necessary man power.

This was my point that I tried to make.
I believe that the daily delay and outage status report should also include the Rogers ticket number as well as a time when Rogers last updated the status. Actually.... instead of posting a new thread, why not have it be a link on your website that is just constantly updated.

How about a Wind internet stick in the mean time? My roommate and I both need internet to be able to perform our jobs.

I understand that you guys are doing all you can with Rogers, but you're not doing all you can for your customers.

If I can't get up an running soon I will need to take my business elsewhere because it's affecting my job.

It's simply unacceptable.

And, to top it off I'm willing to bet my credit card will be charged like normal in a day or two even though I haven't had service since before the last time I gave you money.

we cant post the rogers ticket info for legal reasons.

there is little delay...

the ticket itself is also just an indicator. the problem is what needs fixing... and the customer is always in the best position to know if it's been fixed...

Thank you,

It's about time I was offered an alternative. Why could the techs not do that?

BTW, I actually need 2. One for me and one for my roommate. As I said, we both need internet for our jobs.

it's not a blanket solution.. we have to choose. in the last day or two, given that many are creeping up on a week offline.. we have started to offer them more readily.

I realise it's not a blanket solution Marc, but the fact that I'm having to ask after a MONTH off-line is not good customer support.

"there is little delay..."

This may seem like just semantics, but there IS a lot of delay, maybe you're not seeing a lot of ADDED delay on your end, but let's not kid ourselves that the delay on the whole is little.

14 hours now since the last time I posted on my thread, soon after a TSI rep posted.

Hi,

I don't see Mississauga as part of the DSL outages and I've tried holding on the phone for hours with no luck. Hopefully this message gets through as you guys seem to be actively monitoring the forums.

My account is CID [removed for privacy --fourboxers]. Hopefully you can get my address from that. My DSL internet was set up last week but the technician who did it didn't mention anything about the 3 filters I ordered, and he installed the DSL line in the basement close to the fusebox. I wanted it on the mainfloor so that the router can deliver a better signal but that isn't the main issue right now. Currently, the modem's ADSL and Internet lights keep shutting off and coming back on 10 minutes later. It has been happening all day since 2 days ago, so I think the problem might just be isolated to my house due to a bad signal/connection line rather than a service outage in my area.

Is there any chance you can send a Teksavvy or Bell technician to my house to check and to put in a new line and filters if necessary? And if possible, even move the line upstairs? I have a fairly strong router so I don't think that's the issue since it's the modem's lights that keep turning off.

Thanks

Any possibility of reimbursement for having been forced to purchased our own alternate access methods?

You didn't read what I wrote. there is little delay from when we receive a response from rogers and we call the customer.

for the direct forum, we are overloaded. I've said this already.

Would you be able to offer one my way as well? I have a post under teksavvy direct, still has not received a response yet. I assume there are many more still before me?

I went out and bought a hotspot from Wind, because I couldn't wait on that; I had work to do Saturday when my network went down. Providing the service would help. How do we make that happen?

Hi jmayer519,

I'm having the team ensure that you are in a covered area for WIND. Either way, they will be in touch with you shortly.

Cheers,

Ok... good to know atleast.... perhaps a last update time atleast?
Also.... some of us are in weird positions as we have no clue when things are going to come back online. Do I need to request/push for a wind mobile stick? I'd like to think that Teksavvy would push these out to customers who they think that might be down for a longer period of time.
