Ok this is gonna be a bit of a rabbit hole so bear with meā¦
I moved into my current residence back in July this year and decided to go with bell for internet since the upstairs landlord was with virgin. I have been a bell customer in the past and I still had access to myBell, when I called to get a service installed I asked if it was ok to use said myBell account and was told yes no problem.
Upon trying to connect this myBell to the new service I was met with some errors, clicking the link to connect would send me to the myBell app prompting a login⦠Then when I log in, I donāt see the service? Just my old one I cancelled a couple years ago⦠Ok so then I try doing it through the web⦠Now I get an error saying this service is already connected to a myBell account.
Clearly this account is now all sorts of screwed up, when I asked customer support I was told I would see the service on my app once I plugged in the modem. (It was very hard booking a tech without access to myBell, Iād have to message support each time I wanted a time update). Once the service was installed I once again checked myBell, since I havenāt even set up billing yet! Once again nothing, support says wait a week. Wait a week, nothing. Support says weāre down wait a day, wait a day, nothing. Iām getting a little frustrated at this point but eventually a support agent is able to get the problem escalated and someone manually adds the service to my myBell account, great! Set up billing and everything is all good. I do notice on the app itās telling me to set up my new modem which is weird since it was already running. (This notification will never go away).
Everything seems to be working fine so I put it behind me⦠then a week later I get a phone call asking when Iād like to book a tech to install my modem??? When I tell them itās already installed the agent just goes huh thatās weird and I hear nothing about it again. Fast forward a few months, and in September I get a letter in the mail for equipment return! My error here is I just chalk that up to my account being all screwed up and ignore it.
Fast forward 20 days or so and Iām checking myBell to make sure the bill got paid and I see⦠Service cancelled! Oh hell no, I call support and they say nothing they can do, time to return my equipment and re-setup another account. What?!?!? I then find out it got cancelled on September 8!!! Also, my internet is still working fine. And it still is to this day by the way. The support agent didnāt really seem to care, didnāt seem to want to escalate it, and just wanted me to hang up, return my equipment and be done with it. I told them hell no Iām just gonna keep using my internet thatās working fine, and it ended there.
I week after that I decide to phone customer service again, and itās the same story, yeah yeah I know itās cancelled but my internet is still working!!! Doesnāt that seem weird? I told them somebody will definitely want to hear about this and they said theyād start an investigation. Itās been two weeks and I havenāt heard anything back.
Which is why Iām posting here, people tell me I shouldnāt look a gift horse in the mouth and just accept I have free 3gig internet, but it still just kind of bothers me. Support agents just donāt want to deal with it, if nobody here can help me Iām gonna call one more time and then just keep using this until it stops or I move out again.
