Koodo is the “cheap” brand from Telus as Fido is the cheap Rogers brand. I’ve been a Telus customer (clearnet being bought out by Telus) since 1998.

They always treat me well. My next phone upgrade and contract shakeup will no doubt be excellent.

Also, I own stock of Telus. The dividends pay my phone bill (and then some!)

I’ve had also had issues with Rogers in the past and suspect I will again in the future.

LOL I used to work in retail and when people would come in angry, it did the opposite – it made me less willing to help them. I think it’s important to treat people with respect, no matter what the situation.

It’s possible the the BBB was just really slow. Sometimes they take awhile. Or maybe it’s just me – that’s odd – every time I’ve gone through them it’s been so helpful!

The BBB has been nothing but helpful to me, but it would depend on the company that’s being dealt with. That woudln’t have helped in my situation – for instance, when Rogers extended my contract. There’s no payment to reverse.

That’s never happened to me – usually companies try thier best to avoid a black mark by the BBB. Contact BBB and find out what you can do, that’s terrible!

But you’re right a lot of the time the person you speak with had nothing to do with the problem and may not even have the authority to do anything about it. It always helps to calm down first like you said. -Sydney

I have made calls while still angry and it truly does not help the situation at all…

And this all happened after 2 months. How? I have no clue. To this day I still can’t tell.
