WOO HOO, finally kicked the Bell bucket. Switched to SD.
Been a loyal Customer to Bell for 10+ years. even after all the increase in prices and meh equiptment.
What finally did it u ask? UBB. I am not a heavy user, but I am considering using Netflix, which would then turn me into a heavy user. My ISP is a third party and told me that with the UBB, Bell would bill me directly for any and all overages, even though I dont have service with them (my ISP uses their backbone). Kiss my what??? I said. I did not sign a contract with Bell, I signed one with my ISP.
So, I figured, what would hurt them the most? hit them in the pocket book! if Bell is going to try and take more money from me, then i am going to take my money back.
Bell you should learn that customers are what generate your pay checks and are only going to hurt yourselves if you don't listen to them.
Even the Bell rep that took my cancellation really didn't try to keep me as a customer (offered me 10 then 20 dollars off my bill per month) as soon as I said UBB you could hear the sigh. He even understood where I was coming from and all but agreed with me (he did, but didnt want to say anything over the recorded lines).
Anyways, Bell can stuff it.
even my brother is cancelling his cell phone service with them to show support and to speak out against the UBB.
Come on Peeps! lets give Bell the message that they can stay out of our pocket books and learn that the customer is right on this one!
So, why does Shaw have the e-sata enabled on its cable boxes and not on its SD lineup? is the 605 worth waiting for the external hdd capability? I am looking at picking up the 630 and the 605 for the bedroom but need the possibility of pvr for the bedroom.
also picking up a slightly used 207 for 25 bucks, is it worth it? I noticed that BB has the new 209 for 50 bucks. is it worth the extra 25?
Thanks all in advance.
Zippy
