My parents switched from shaw to telus for some odd reason and the technician from Telus came to install internet and TV. Too bad he had no idea what he was doing and spent over 10 hours at our place. My mom was so mad because she couldn't leave home and had no internet and could not watch tv but she didn't want to be rude and disrespectful. You would think after 2 hours of not being able to set it up that you would call for help or something... nope. |
actually for Telus TV a lot of the installs require the tech to re-wire the whole house and often they have to rewire the outside of the house too. They use cat5 connections not coax, so often your not able to use the existing setup. You try doing that in a finished house, not fun. A new house that is pre-wired can be done in ~1.5 hours. 10 hours is long, but more than likely it wasn't that he 'didn't know what he was doing'. Either way he should have called for a hand to speed things up.
On a side note don't buy telus TV it's inferior and will give you a headache. This coming from a former Telus TV tech. Telus sucks.
