Brett, Thank you very much for the thoughtful and supportive reply. I will certainly take a look at the dslreports.com forum before I take this further.

Is there any way you can minimize your interaction with their webmail, perhaps by using IMAP? Or forwarding your email to a Google account and reading their ads instead ? ;-) I am glad I run my own mail server. Really, the ONLY action that matters here is to walk away with your $$. No business gives a damn, if you keep sending money their way every month. Sometimes that might mean giving something up on our parts as consumers, as part of the switch. I'm sorry if you have no options but to get internet from them. Good luck with your complaints process. I'm glad to see you initiate that against these guys. Keep in mind that with most businesses, especially mega-corps, "money talks" is really all that matters, because that's all they exist for. I do think you have an interesting point about the enforced ads and should complain to the Commissioner anyway, after you get the official excuse from Robbers, attaching it as background. You can leave Robbers once you finish holding them accountable ;-) Also, for those unaware of it on the list, I have found dslreports.com forums to have solid participation of very knowledgeable and sharing users. The Rogers forum is here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rogers Bruce, you might want to share your story in that forum and build a mass of consumer backlash and have 100 people sending in official complaints to the Commissioner :-) Brett (who went through a month of hell with Bhell this spring when Bhell broke my original ADSL I had for 11 years and were unable and unwilling to repair or replace it. I ended up gladly also switching that DSL service to TekSavvy. It's something I should have done ages ago, except the Bhell bridged ethernet ADSL gave me some redundancy against single points of failure within TekSavvy. As I said earlier, tradeoffs.) _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
