When I signed up with Rogers they sent me two modems. I thought I’d keep one as a spare. But then they started charging me double, despite their policy of only one account per address. They figured out a way to do that, by putting one account as a sub-account on my account. It took a half hour on the phone and a long walk to Bloor and Jarvis to return the modem to fix it.

Classic.

Gee, aren’t you glad you don’t have their new home phone service? If you did, and you experienced problems with your cable, YOU WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO CALL THE “E-CARE” REP, EITHER!

One bill ain’t worth the many headaches.

(Holy crap, Dan! Was that a new post?!)

Dan, I think this story makes you seem more virtuous than you really are. Regardless of your woes with Rogers, weren’t you the same guy who spent nearly two hours this weekend trying to get Kismac to work on my computer, so that you could hack your neighbours’ encrypted passwords later in the week?…

THE TRUTH!!!

Oh, that’s brilliant, Dan. Reminds me of the time when I switched back to Bell Canada for my home phone service. They sent me a voicemail to tell me what my new voicemail password was. Um, the only problem was that I needed the password to retrieve their voicemail! Duh.
