This was going to be an angry, ranting post about my hatred of Shaw cable. I'm over it now (okay, not totally over it).
Earlier this week my internet/cable promotion ran out, and I was offered a better deal by telus. I had tried to make arrangements almost a month ago to end my service, but was talked out of it by the phone reps. I was told I didnt need to do anything until the day my promo ended and I would be billed for 2 additional days. Long story short, 3 different phone reps gave me wrong information, which has landed me with a bill for over $100 for internet and 6 days worth of cable. I was angry that had I done as I originally wanted, I would have owed a lot less. I called in to complain, and got a really argumentative woman who at first wouldn't let me speak to a supervisor until I finally insisted. The supervisor was not helpful either. I was really surprised that he would not honour what the previous employees had told me. Instead he insisted I was wrong.
My original plan was to switch to the competitor for a couple of months until Shaw offered me another promotion to return. I had never had any sort of problems with Shaw up until now. I had been with them since 1998, and expected them to apologise for the confusion, and make it right. Instead I am a disgruntled customer who will not return. I was going to file a formal complaint with the commissioner for telecommunications and the BBB, but I decided it wasn't worth the mental anguish. Shaw cable is rated "F" with the BBB, so I assume they have no interest in responding to the complaints they receive. And really, it's not about the money, I just wanted an apology, I didn't want to be told I was a liar.
Shaw cable, you have won the award for the worst customer service I have received in my entire life. Chester, supervisor at Shaw cable, I will not be sending you a Christmas present, and from now on my code word for asshole will be Chester. "Stop being such a Chester" "He looks like a real Chester". It works, don't you think?

I like "Chester" I will adopt it into my vernacular in the hopes it goes international.
