And that includes free wireless internet from your neighbour with the unsecured router. All this served to do was prompt me to finally get my phone, cable and internet arranged. I originally opted for Bell Aliant because I'm partial to satellite tv...I know, the little dish is ugly...I know, fibre optic is where it's at...but hey, I wanted a dish....so....I call them and jump through ALL the hoops, and there are several. And what date do they give me for installation....November 8th!!! That's 4 weeks away!! Don't they know I can't live w/o tv and internet for that long!!! I have Coronation Street to catch up on...and the Young and the Restless...I'm so far behind with that, I'll never catch up. Not to mention that I've got important blogging to do!!! I told them that I was going to have to call Rogers to see if I could get something earlier...thinking that would spur them to try a bit harder...but no dice. The woman said she'd hold the appointment for me in case I didn't have any better luck. And yes, I did detect a hint of sarcasm from her! So, the next day I called Eastlink, who was my service provider in Antigonish....they don't even have service in my area!! Who knew....I see advertisements for them everywhere!! So, Rogers it is. I got everything arranged....they sure had some good promotions on for people switching from another service provider...and they are coming on Oct. 21st. Yaaaahoooo! I then did the decent thing...I called back Aliant to cancel the previously set date....and what do they tell me...."If we get an earlier date for you will you stay with us....we can do the installation on Oct. 21st???" I told them it's unfortunate that the person I dealt with yesterday didn't try a little harder cause then I never would have called Rogers. I added that now, after speaking with Rogers I knew that Aliant could never match the deals I got (a free DVR no less!!) so.... I cancelled. Bye, bye Aliant!
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: I don't like Aliant!
