The more companies jump on board the more 'minipolies' will have to up their anti. I dont even want to get started on my HATRED for Bell. But Rogers, on the other hand is NO Angel either. I have been a Rogers wireless customer for 8 years. over the course of that time I changed my account type to suit my lifestyle. What happens? They re-start your account. BS! I needed a new phone and they couldnt give me one for free let alone a discounted price because I had just changed my account type. So i stupidly forked out $180 for a piece of crap phone. All these new providers popping up have better deals, and 'cooler' customer service reps. I am now getting out of bed with Rogers and jumping into single life. Koodo?

Second I had a different problem with an internet provider: they offered me an electronic news letter for three months with no payment, before I accepted I asked them if I will receive an email when these 3 months expire, of course I received no email. After checking my account I saw I was charged for this "free" offer. Of course I immediately called them and disconnected from them.
