I like it!

Telus.. Horror stories. I have many as well. The last one was when I signed up for their 1-yr promo a couple of years ago. I made sure I took a screenshot of the promo because I didn't trust them. Within 4 months, they secretly raised the price back to regular price. I called to tell them that my 1-yr promo hasn't expired yet so they reverted the price for me. Next month, they secretly raised the price again. I called again and the price was reverted again. The next month, they secretly raised the price again. I've lost tracked of how many times I had to call them. It was at least 4 months that this happened. This is just one example out of many over the past 20 years or so.

Just think of them as bumps...at least it's staying at the top.

As far a telelmarketers go, handing the phone to a 3 year-old is also brilliant.

The reality is that tech support from any of these mass service providers is a joke. If you're very lucky you might get an individual who is competent but the vast majority of the time you are dealing with very low skilled (and low paid) people who hate their job and could care less about technology or customer service.
Furthermore, it seems the bigger the company, the worse it gets.
Try dealing with tech support at DirecTV - the US satellite service providers. You will discover a whole new level of incompetence ....and frustration.

I had them scammers calling me saying they work for mac and windows and that if i didnt do what they say my computer would crash.
I hung up and they repeatedly called back over a period of two weeks. I got fed up (they kept waking my kids up) and cursed the guy out....the guy then tweeked on me for not talking like a lady, saying a lady should not talk like that to a man. I hung up and he repeatedly called me like every min for over an hour till I took my line off the hook. I ended up calling the cops cuz it got so out of hand, but they said the numbers were coming right from Pakistan. so theirs nothing you can do about it but have the number blocked by your phone provider. Problem is they call from multiple numbers. They harrassed me for weeks. Only stoped when i stoped answering my phone. I had them calling from 5 different numbers all hours of the day.
