Rogers is somehow, impossibly, worse at customer service than Shaw, who were already terrible.
Fuck the government for allowing these mergers and acquisitions to happen. Fuck the previous governments too. (This isn’t a Liberal versus Conservative issue at all – they all allowed this to happen.)
The hoops they force you through to cancel your account should be illegal.
The stores where you sign up for internet in the mall? Nope, sales only. All the local customer service options are gone. They claim I have a secret pin or phrase to access my account (which I never set up with Shaw when I created my account), so I can’t deal with anyone over the phone. I basically cannot cancel my Shaw internet post-acquisition.
Well, one of the guys at the store at least gave me some info on how to ship the modem back. Rogers only allows you to return your modem using Canada Post, and they don’t provide a box – only an account number. So I have to scrounge a box and go to Canada Post with an account number. I’m contemplating shipping my modem back in a refrigerator box out of spite.
I’m thinking of just putting a chargeback on the VISA and forcing them to call me. Well, if it wouldn’t affect my credit. Fuckers.
You could check at the Canada Post office if you can charge their provided boxes to that account number.
Unfortunately Rogers is now the largest professional sports holding company in the world now too, with buying out Bell’s stake in MLSE. Nothing like promoting competition by allowing megacorps to keep acquiring.
That’s a good idea. Better than my other ideas. Cereal box full of cereal and the modem.
For a moment I considered putting in a bucket with resin and letting it solidify, then removing the bucket and just shipping them a modem encased in resin. But they’d probably charge me for the modem they’re just going to send to the landfill anyway. Maybe I should do that and turn it into a modem bowl on the lathe…
