The PROBLEM is - it is IMPOSSIBLE to reach the same agent - no matter how many messages you leave them! I was forced to write the President of Videotron to try to get SOMEONE to call me back... which ended up in being close to brutalized into accepting a 2 year contract - in order to get the $283.00 Videotron owed me - credited to my account! I STILL don't know if the agreement has been honored because the agent (a supervisor) refused to send a written confirmation! This is the 10th., or 11th., time I've been promised that the corrections will be made!<br />Videotron - can send anyone's name to Equifax - anytime they like - and it's obvious they can charge, overcharge whenever and however they like - and the consumer is left holding a dirty stinking bag - with very little recourse, That is what the CRTC has done for us - Joe Public!<br />The irony here is, we are paying these guys BIG BUCKS to screw us!<br />The next irony is: Try to reach any of the Execs at the CRTC and you're also screwed.<br />There has to be a way to stop this abuse and violation of agreements. Why can the consumer NOT GET AN AGREEMENT IN WRITING - to confirm ones RATES?<br />We are buying a service - and paying dearly for it - and yet are unable to see what were buying and getting?

Excellent points ...Great use of the word absurd. <br /><br />Excellent points about way too much advertising to suffer through before getting any programming content. Not to mention how crappy too many programs are. i.e. Anything Amanada Lang has been part of ... LOL. <br /><br />As an experiment we canceled our satellite service almost 2 years ago. We honestly thought it would be re-connected in 3 months. Wrong ... we didn't miss it enough. <br /><br />You can easily get your T.V. fix for free at your doctor's or dentist's office, the gym, restaurants, bars, the mall, many stores or going over to a friend's place who still has service. There is way more interesting stuff and for free on the net. DVDs are also free at the local library. Libraries always need higher circulation numbers. The library is one of the few ways get use of tax dollars. <br /><br />With this new tax and the upcoming HST for Ontario and B.C., the government, advertisers and cable companies take this new tax and all the stupid expensive packages and shove it. Still not interested in paying one red cent for garbage programming and annoying ads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-89906655208847025662010-03-24T11:30:01.711-04:002010-03-24T11:30:01.711-04:00When is the customer going to be allowed to choose...When is the customer going to be allowed to choose the channels he/she wants to watch. I am sick and tired of all the junk there is on TV that we are forced to sign up for. Packaging does not work for the customer. Let us pick our own channels to watch. Get rid of those stupid, ignorant, male bashing commercials that we are forced to watch every day, over and over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-70849575857415811282010-03-24T11:24:40.545-04:002010-03-24T11:24:40.545-04:00"Cable subscribers have shrugged at rate incr..."Cable subscribers have shrugged at rate increases in the past and might be willing to do so again if new fees are passed on to them, the national broadcast regulator suggested Tuesday."<br /><br />Not me. If this happens I'll get rid of the 2 pkgs. I have to defray the cost & bring my bill back to where it was before the fee was imposed. And it wouldn't surpeise me if other customers did the same.penlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830912393649649485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-17240607955881680352010-03-24T09:33:32.982-04:002010-03-24T09:33:32.982-04:00It never ceases to amaze me that when discussions ...It never ceases to amaze me that when discussions take place that will have it`s ultimate effect on us , that we are never involved in those discussions.<br /><br />No one asks us , we just get the "result".<br /><br />The unfortunate thing is that the "result" usually is us with less money & those that are involved in the discussions have more money.<br /><br />We must be idiots for putting up with this crap.<br /><br />Dr Mike PopovichDr Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915911929286615081noreply@blogger.com
