I tried going with Rogers. The rep in the store claimed it was "impossible" to sign up for their internet service without a 1 year contract. At that point I just said "f*ck it" and left.

Tek has never lied to me. Until I can find someone else who won't lie to me, I'm sticking around.

That Rogers rep LIED... (was it a corporate store or a dealer? I have found sometimes SALES REPS at stores like to lie cause they don't get commission unless they sell 1 year min)

30 day contracts are all that is required with Rogers.. you just don't get any promo deals.

I know damn well that I can get their service without a 1 year contract, but I tried arguing with the guy about it then he actually got a co-worker to back up his claim. I have a policy of not dealing with people who flat out lie to me.

This was at the Rogers store in Billings Bridge mall.

Just a FYI, some people here who "couldn't get" 5Mbps after signing up with TSI switched to Sympatico, got hooked to a remote with 6Mbps sync, switched back to TSI and then petitioned Bell/TSI until they got their 5-6Mbps sync off the remote back, citing their Sympatico sync speeds as proof.

That sounds like a huge hassle. I'd do it I knew there was a remote nearby. The fact that she told me this was possible whereas the website's "availability checker" told me the contrary is not encouraging. Is there any way to find out if there's a remote nearby without switching first?

You can call and ask where the closest CO is.

Try posting in the Bell Direct Forum here; »/forum/sympatdirect

They are pretty helpful and honest there and they may be able to tell you. Just don't let on that will do a switcharoo after you sign up :) . Just say you are thinking of switching and you wanted to know if you could get on a remote because your speeds are too low. Also I would register a different screen name to post there they read this forum most likely.

Re: I demand my higher speeds

I called up Primus and they told me I'm about 2km away from whatever equipment they use. Am I correct in assuming this means there is, in fact, a remote nearby? Anyway I can use that to get a bump with Tek?

I would go with Primus if I didn't have to switch phones to do it; Bell wouldn't see a nickel of mine and I could stop feeding Telus too. I've just gotten too used to having a cell phone and I could never go back to a phone that can't text.

Edit: If I can get better speeds with Tek I would probably get a second one and MLPPP it. Is this going to be even more complicated?

BELL Customer Service is WAY OVER RETARDED.

Sound like a machine to me. I feel like warping into the phone right up to her head and shoot her. Like STFU!

Re: I demand my higher speeds

I had the same BS a month ago!! I live in Port Stanley, Ontario near London. They promised me the Performance package at 6MBps and all I got was 2.3 .
Without verifying I made the change then had to go back to the slower package.
Bell used to be know for service and know-how. Now they're snake oil salesmen/women.
