We've had Rogers for over 4 years, having switched from Bell, due to what I now regard as relatively minor problems they caused me.
Rogers technician came and installed the necessary cable, but left without giving us a kit with manuals etc., to tell us how to do anything. We eventually had to visit a Rogers outlet to ask for documentation etc. We took a bundle, with basic Telephone, TV and High Speed Internet. Since then we've occasionally had problems, but unless we've phoned have been unable in any other way (online, email or snail mail) to get so much as a response from Rogers: even after writing to their CEO (or whatever his title is). I write because I have a hearing deficit and often cannot understand callers, whoever they are. It follows that if they are discussing details, and use phone calls as the basis of their contracts, I am at a distict disadvantage.
My main complaint earlier on was that I would get regular calls from Rogers on what was roughly a weekly basis, asking if I was happy with their service, and offering to make all sorts of adjustments if I would like them to. And, despite asking them on numerous occasions, verbally and by email, to stop calling me, they kept doing so until I finally wrote and complained.
A couple of weeks ago I finally felt the need to complain to their ombudsman, and got a written response to tell me that my complaints had been passed on. Since then, I've heard nothing. However, we've had all sorts of problems with our TV reception (today a lot of my channels, including separately paid for ones, are not available). Yesterday for a couple of hours or so I was unable for the first time in over 4 years to get and keep an internet connection: and it had nothing to do with my hardware.
I'm not normally paranoid, but it seems a bit of a coincidence that their having received my complaints, I am now having problems with my TV and Internet connections that have not occurred in the past. After all, one would think that if they themselves are having problems of any kind to interfere with their customers enjoyment of their service, they would make the fact known so we would not think it related to our equipment.
So far they've kept our business, simply from our lack of enthusiasm about making a change, but even my wife is getting close to accepting the need to switch to another provider. We had high hopes when we left Bell, only to find we'd jumped from a moderately hot frying pan into the fires of hell! read more
