I mean I guess you’re saying that it’s justified because this poster has tried nothing and is out of warranty?

Scudworth posted:Won't somebody please think of the poor insurance company I do think about insurance companies, and invariably the thought is "gently caress those assholes." Oddly enough, it's the same thought that comes to mind when I think about banks and telecoms in Canada. grack fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Apr 13, 2021 |

I briefly worked at Economical (as a co-op working on software a decade ago) and what struck me was how inefficient, incompetent and yet stuck up their own rear end the whole organization seemed to be. I did learn that Ontario Personal Auto was by far the #1 source of fraud among all their products by a huge margin. I know a fraud investigator at Aviva and ooo-boy, the things some folks get up to. There are entire schemes to extract tens, hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurers in systematic ways. Anyhow, it's the $400 deductible that keeps that policy profitable, not people's aversion to lying about the cause of the loss. Insurers suck, if it works in your favour to say "oops I dropped it" and make a claim, go for it. Just don't try to do it with amounts they'll miss.

quote:The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) said the firms must offer wholesale wireless access to so-called Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), smaller outfits that can then resell the capacity at reduced retail prices and pass on the savings to consumers.

Won't someone please think of the Big 3 (definitely not colluding) Telecoms with 90% market share!

This doesn't fully open the door for pure MVNOs, only regional operators that already own wireless infrastructure in Canada. It is still a good first step.

Why cant we mint a new a new crop of Dave Wireless, Mobilicity and Public Mobile loser-tier carriers every 4 years and let them be gobbled up as normal and just restock the lake telecoms over and over like we do with fish stocks?

Chris Knight posted:The big three - BCE Inc, Telus Corp, and Rogers Communications Inc - complain that the smaller MVNOs do not help build the expensive infrastructure needed to ensure service in what is the world’s second largest nation. Sounds like a good argument to nationalize the carriers to me.

Someone out there obviously lied about rebooting their pc and modem when Rogers tech support ask them to. Ruining it for the rest of us. I hope they track that bastard down.

https://about.rogers.com/news-ideas/a-message-from-jorge-fernandes-chief-technology-officer-at-rogers/quote:We have identified the root cause of the service issues and pinpointed a recent Ericsson software update that affected a piece of equipment in the central part of our wireless network. That led to intermittent congestion and service impacts for many customers across the country. I'm feeling really good our infrastructure right now. A software update from a foreign company on a single piece of equipment brought down Roger's entire cellar network. It's just that easy. Now the Swedes know they can cripple our telecommunications any time they want. ![]()
