Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

We have Bell for all 3 tbh they have not been a problem, they turned up to install when they said they would, the customer service rep on the phone helped me a lot, I told them what we had in the UK and we matched it here.

I know some people on this forum dont rate Bell, but my experience with them has been good.:thumbup:

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

Can you work their website? I see a shouty black man and lots of rolling pictures but, as soon as I try to click on one, it disappears. If I ask for help I get a chat window with someone who can't write in English who keeps pasting "thank you for using Bell" "have a great day" and other useless crap without helping. If they want paying they're going to have to send a proper bill.

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

Web site seems to be geared towards getting you to buy a "bundle" rather than any thing else. I just called the call centre as I couldnt get the variations to "the Bundle" I wanted - I also wanted to make sure of the cost, rather than me guess that I had got it right. I signed up for continuos payment so they just deduct every month from our account - less hassle for us.

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

I wouldn't do that with Bell, I wind up disputing every second or third bill, something I'd rather do before they've had the money.

My inlaws also had Videotron for TV, phone and Internet, until they moved away from Montreal earlier this year. They had no complaints about service while they were there, but have said since moving to ON and taking a Cogeco web/tv/phone bundle that the service (both in terms of TV line-up and customer service helpfulness) knocks Videotron for six.

Montreal seems surprisingly poorly served for digital cable. Videotron and Bell look to have carved it up between them.

I will keep my eye on it, first sign of a problem I will stop the DD at the bank

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

I've had primus for years and not had a single problem. It's cheap, and there are no download restrictions which is always the best :D

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

quick query, i'll be arriving in october and will want a pay as you go set up until im on my feet.... i already have two handsets and all i want is a gsm sim card, is it possible to get the sim card without the handset?

not sure if it matters or not but the handsets are both blackberry (bold & 8800) and im not actually wanting to use the email features just use them as a standard phone until i get onto a proper plan but dont want to have to fork out $100 for handsets i dont need...

thanks

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

With fido they generally have an offer where buying the phone and sim card comes with some free air time that makes it the same as just buying the sim and air time. You pretty much get a basic phone for free.

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

Try Seven Eleven Speak Out service. 20 cents a minute, air time lasts a year. People will have sim cards for this service. Check out.

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

we have Bell for Cell phone, land line and internet, plus Star Choice (shaw) for our TV's. no complaints at all. so far :)

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

Anyone got any comments on the Telus Satellite, it's a resell of Bell, but have found Telus CS much better than Bell customer service and Star Choice have really ticked me off. Put the price up without telling you until the bill arrived.

Re: Cable TV/Internet/Phone
 

I'm using Teksavvy dry DSL for $41/month. So no fixed line required. Max speed here in Ontario is 5Mbps but the download limit is 200G, way better than Rogers.

For fixed phone I use vbuzzer VOIP. $50 per year for a local incoming number with unlimited local calling. Refuse to pay Bell/Rogers $30+/month.

For mobile check out virgin mobile. No incoming SMS fees and pretty reasonable prepay rates, eg. $20/month for 200 anytime minutes. No system access fees or any other fees for caller id etc ala Fido.
