Re: A warning for those switching to Primus
I haven't... I'm just waiting for them to disconnect me so I can find another ISP. I can use Shaw in the meantime. I haven't been downloading much of anything anyway... I'm using Shaw's modem for that. |

It's their fault. |

Squall_Leon: It seems that my page is still showing inaccurate stats. I should be able to start downloading again today though, my billing cycle should have reset by now.

Now I have to wait for 22nd to start download 'cause already gone over 50gig. They told me it started on 15th so they probably wouldn't charge anyone if they went over before getting the letter but it will for sure start the in the next billing cycle. So have to wait till 22nd which is another month('cause of they stupid policy), use 50gig and get Shaw hooked to hooked up then go back to Telus. So much hassle... I really really really would like to get Sympatico here in the west even though it cost a bit more. Damnit... |

Yeah I know that now. Called the tech support. It really sucks I have to wait for 30 days. Apparently they "THEN" send the prepaid stuff to send the modem back. Stupid ISP... I had to wait so long for them to hook it up and now this crap? |

It is not really account #. You have to use the activation code that Primus mailed to you with the modem. |

Oh, I cancelled already. I've already got Shaw hooked up, but I'll be able to use Primus until the 15th of next month, then I can look around for ISPs again. |

Well, I just called them and they told me it was added up by the billing cycle. So basically, the page tells me I sit at 40GB usage for the last 6 days of my billing cycle so I don't want to risk going over.  The tech recommended I *not* go over in this current billing cycle.
Not only that, they are going to disconnect it next month. It's a good thing my billing cycle resets in a couple days, at least I'll get some use out of it. Argh. |

yeah but u know whats even worse.
is when i tried to cancel the service.
there not letting you do it till 30days is up.
which i cant find anywhere on there website where it says that.
trying to get my line clear for another provider.
and primus are be'ing pricks.
when i dropped telus back in the spring it took like
24 hours to disconnect the service.
this is nothing but a cash grab on primus behalf! |

$3/GB - that is hefty.
I'm quite glad that I never did switch to Primus
I guess Primus pulled the classic bait and switch. |

This is where it pays to read the EULA, the unlimited bandwidth is usually trumped by "services may change" clauses most of these services use. |

You could get a Telus Server 2.5 package (80GB/mo) for that price.. or several High Speed Enhanced packages.
That's what I had (Server 2.5) before I switched over to this "unlimited" ISP. I even paid $125 to bring in a phone line. Honestly, if I knew there was a 50GB cap I would have stuck with Shaw (same cap, hell of a lot faster - and I wouldn't have had to bring in an extra phone line.) |

Not just that, I just checked the usage screen and I know it's incorrect and understated.
I couldn't even keep tabs on myself if I wanted to. It says I didn't do any downloading for a few days when I know I did some. |
