This is totally my experience with Network technology. I’ve been Airport-only since the routers looked like UFOs.

Very cute, simple and clear way of explaining interceptors.

I really liked your blog.

Thanks

Hi Yasir,

I received the funds from Rogers in the form of a direct credit back on to my Visa, so I didn’t have the $600 waiting around in my Rogers account.

Hey, I am having a similar problem and they offered me exactly the same thing, that I should go buy the iPhone from the store and they will refund me, but I don’t want a $600 credit sitting in my account. Can you tell me how you got the money back, did they mail you a cheque or account credit?

Thanks

Yo Daniel! Yer hired! Didn’t think you had it in yea!

I would say you’ve encountered a classic case of “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. Perchance Brian has spent a significant sum on his Fancy New Site? Have no fear! The seeds of doubt have been expertly planted. I see a site update in the future. Just not the ones you have suggested. lol. CUE More Cheesy Music! :>)

Things never change at Rogers…….I got the same darn run around from them five years ago & my phone was a $25 Samsung clamshell.

It’s typical call center nonsense. The CSR’s are outsourced from another company, only earning a few bucks over minimum wage & turnover is so high most are still in training. They just want to get the deal on the books to make their shift quota. Telling the truth about back-orders could kill the sale & they’d lose their premium. They can’t afford to tell the truth.

Your ongoing saga justifies my decision to wait a bit longer before making the “switch”. Your story makes for a good read, though.

UGH. My story differs in the details but I certainly experienced a similarly varying level of customer service when getting my iPhone (albeit with Fido). Better still: there is more hilarity to sort out now that my first bill has arrived…
