Its funny, because I've been on bell for about 10 years on my mobility and I've never had any trouble when I've dealt with them.

I hate Bell so much that I lose it if someone even rings one.

And when you do get through to them you're on the line with some guy in India who can't speak english. They can burn in hell.

So, now you look like you're prepared to go into detail. Is this where the thread REALLY begins?

Really? Anytime I call them it's some Habs fan that can't speak English.

I seriously can't believe that they haven't been investigated by the government for being outright liars and thieves. Oh wait, they have...

I seriously can't believe that all they got was a ten million dollar fine.

i just dont have the mental strength to rehash my various gang f***ing they have given me for I cant even count how many years now.

First it was the TV division but its Mobility that has me all pissed off this time. Im so mad for resigning another term contract, its amazing how they get you so tied up you just cant escape!

The culture of that company is so bad, I cant imagine a worse fate then having to work there.

One thing I will share that is so frustratingly arrogant and obnoxious. No matter how many times I ask them to email me confirmation of our discussion, the steps they have promised to take and who will follow up, they tell me they dont have email!

What the hell? you dont have @bell.ca or @sympatico.ca addys for your staff? ya right, more like you purposly dont give staff email. this is a policy decision not made with customer satisfaction in mind. in fact its the opposite.

ok, i am getting my blood pressure up again.
The staff are forbidden by policy to write

You're a fool. I worked a TELUS for 7 years and they won't send you a e-mail either discussing a specific conversation. They will just do a generic one - only in certain situations- which is that same as Bell. It would not be a long shot to say that rogers, RBC, TD, GM etc call center reps will not write an e-mail either.

BTW what department has made you wait 111 minutes... I've called Bell hundreds of times in the last year and rarely waited more than 30 seconds to 1 minute.

+1 for Bell being the worst of the worst!!! I am an ex-customer and they tried charging me hundreds of extra dollars without any way of being able to explain it.

I used to work at Bell (IT side) and I had no trouble giving out my email address. When I'd need to phone the #####! support lines I'd get the same bs "oh we can't give our personal emails". So I'd look them up in the directory - HA!

Not that it ever did me any good. Internal support was terrible. Especially anything to do with billing, that all went thru Montreal and I think every single person there was a seperatist with a special hate for Anglos.

yes, i am pretty sure other big companies are just as bad, that doesnt excuse Bell.

i wasnt on hold for 111 minutes, it took them that long to move two of my phones into a new account and then they wanted to charge me $1000 deposit, despite having paid my bill on time for who knows how long they have been tearing me a new sphincter and exceptional credit.

grrr ... seriously, they are so bad.

1 minute on hold with Bell?

You must have entered the twilight zone. When I wanted to activate my satellite tv I was on hold for 45 minutes, ended up speaking to the wrong guy, then another 45 minutes.

I was on hold for 29 minutes last Thursday. Just to the generic customer service line.
