[Bulk] Re:Michael Geist - Bell Secretly Throttling Wholesale Internet Services? - UPDATED

[Tyler Aviss]

To add to the whole fun about how much Bell sucks.

I buy my internet from Teksavvy. Unfortunately, as they're DSL, my
"last-mile" comes through Bell. That means that any issues regarding
the copper connection between my house (condo) and the CO are all in
Bell's hands.

So, recently I called them in regards to the fact that when my
Dry-Loop connection was installed (by Bell), it broke the intercom
used for people to call into my unit (and request that I unlock the
door, etc). I have now been on and off of hold for about 2-3 hours,
and I think I've spoken at least once or twice to a person from every
department in Bell. The sympatico guys insist that it's a line issue.
The line guys say that it's a sympatico issue. Several departments
have told me that I need to pay for a phone installation to have it
work (despite the fact that others with no phone have a perfectly
functional buzzer).

I would *really* love to see Bell taken to task in regards to the
crappy service they provide. I'm sure this isn't a new issue, as
pretty much *everyone* on DSL uses their lines. Anyone else had this
experience?
