| Dont Agree I strongly do not agree to the comments about the tech support. Bell's Tech support is one of the Best tech support. Regarding the Powercycling etc etc its just the normal procedures they have to follow like any other ISP's. They pinpoint the solutions to the problems exactly and courtiesly and patiently help the customers.. | |

You owe me a keyboard. When I saw that, I laughed so hard coffee spewed out my nose.
Seriously though, I've dealt with support people from, probably, fifty companies, over more than thirty years and, IMNSHO, for BS' tech support to get any worse, they'd have to hire dead people...no, wait...I take that back...dead people would be an improvement.
So far as them "pinpoint(ing) the solutions to the problems exactly" is concerned, I had a problem connecting, when I started with BS, and they couldn't "pinpoint the solution to the problems exactly" even after I told them what it was.
To give credit where it's due, though, they were courteous...when they weren't leaving me on hold for half an hour, hanging up on me, lying to me or wasting my time by telling me the problem was my OS when a ten year old knew better. They were, also, patient...oddly so...reminded me of my uncle's cattle. | |

1 edit | If you think Bell's tech support is one of the best, I would hate to see what you call poor tech support.
When I first started using Bell as my ISP, the tech support was still here in Canada, and it was good, available 24/7. Now that it has been outsourced over seas, it is brutal to say the least. If you have a problem after a certain time of day, you better have an interpreter close by IF you actually get to talk to someone over there. Countless times I have tried reaching them, and get the same recorded message "All of our representatives are busy assisting other customers, please continue to hold." After listening to elevator music for fifteen minutes, it is obvious no one is there to provide assistance.
Secondly, they used to have a second line of support if the first person was unable to solve the problem. Now, they just pass you on to someone who is equally inept as they are, and you go through the same steps all over again.
I live in a rural area, and Bell is the only game in town if you want high speed internet service. Unfortunately, Bell is aware of this, so they have adopted a take it or leave it attitude. To say Bell's tech support is top tier is down right laughable. | |

| Re: Dont Agree Yeesh. Sounds similar to what I had to go through in calling Bellsouth/AT&T support, though I did a bit of yelling here and there =] I still got no where though. At this point, I had signed up on DSLR, posted in the Bellsouth (Now AT&T Southeast) forums; I told them my problem, it couldn't be fixed from his side, so he dispatched a tech. =]
I'm glad I don't have to call them anymore... | |
