I'm not a hater...and I'm not a weeper.  But I'm sitting here on the edge of tears debating whether to take our PVR and throw it through the front window of the nearest Shaw office.  I can't remember feeling as frustrated over something so stupidly simple....or simply stupid.

  I have spent over an hour and a half in the last few days on hold.  LONG DISTANCE HOLD.

  I put aside my morning to await the arrival of the techs once again.....scheduled to be here between 8:00 and 11:00.  I suppose it could mean 8:00 am to 11:00 pm.  I called the office where hubby went in person yesterday, and after waiting on hold for another 20 minutes....was asked why I called 'this' location.....(a different city than the number I called).  What is WITH THESE PEOPLE ????!!!!!!

  What 'choosing' ?

You know.....for all the technology we have to facilitate communications, why is it getting harder and harder and harder to communicate ?  I curse whoever invented this system.....and all their families and all their robots.

  Why don't they just send each of us a mind altering hallucinogenic capsule in the mail each month.....it might make it at least seem normal when we try to contact these people.  At least it would make sense, that nothing makes sense.

you the saying the more things change the more they say the same?
No matter how good our technology gets in communication, we will still have problems communicating!

Hey PC.. I feel your pain.

I detest Shaw.. but I was overuled when we switched from Telus to Shaw.

  Theres a problem with their long distance calling at my house as well. No one from there can call my local cell number I have here. But from a Telus Line Starfish can call me. So a complaint was made and they said give us two days and we will fix it then call you. its been a week and no one has called my place from Shaw.

  Oh Hi Russ.  Sorry you caught me in the middle of a tantrum.  

   I tell ya, it's beyond me how these companies can survive and thrive when run with such absolute ineptness.[/DIV]

Well that sounds perfect for a place that rains 10 months of the year.  Mind you when I think about it, it would probably be the most efficient choice.

Sorry to hear that, PC. Can you email them or something?

  Shaw's been down lately. I cannot email a couple of friends who has Shaw email addy. My email bounced back so they may be experiencing techinical difficulties across BC. That's still no excuse not to get back to you soon.

OK.....I have to eat some of my words.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]

  The guy that just came out to fix our problem was amazing.  He really seemed to have a good understanding of what he was dealing with....and how to deal with it.  He explained everything he did as he was doing it.....why we were having the problems we are...etc. He was thorough...checking all possible solutions....the box outside...up the pole on the street, behind the TV with the spider webs.
