Torchwood – Season 3

For once, Torchwood episodes will be shown in North America at the same time as in Great Britain.  Season 3 (5 episodes) start on Monday July 20 and run for 5 nights.  That’s all we get, hopefully there will be more Torchwood soon.

Day Three The eyes of the world turn to Britain and members of Torchwood must battle to protect their own families, as the fight gets personal.

Day Four The eyes of the world turn to Britain and members of Torchwood must battle to protect their own families, as the fight gets personal.

Why I hate BELL Mobility

I have been having issues with Bell over the years with poor to non-existent customer service.  I moved my home phone about a year and half ago and have not regretted it at all.  I had a contract with Bell Mobility that terminated April 30, 2009.  I couldn’t wait to get away from them.  On April 1, I moved to another service provider.  I needed only to pay my last months/final bill which was on pre-authorized credit card.

Bell Mobilty’s solution was to charge me $100 plus GST and PST for terminating my contract, as for the outstanding service amount I can’t say exactly because their pay ahead system is a bit confusing.  I thought that I had paid up to my service date which was around the 22nd of each month and only owed the remaining 8 days.

They proceeded to bill my credit card for the excess amount.  As soon as I was notified of the penalty I was on their case and they said it was a mistake.  I have been trying since then to get my money back.  Their billing system only work once a month.  So this month I get a bill that says that I have a credit of $1113 coming and that it’s pre-authorized but nothing happened.  I called and they said I should get my credit next month – July/August.  This is a reason why I despise this company.  They have now promised to send me a cheque in a couple of weeks, we’ll see.

Since I left Bell for my home phone I have received monthly addressed junk mail from Bell trying to entice me back.  Annoying and a waste of money for them.  When I moved to a new cell provider, I received 3 calls from Bell (I know their number) but no one was there – dead calls.  They deserve to fail.  They have no idea how to take care of their customers.  I could talk about my wasted adventure trying out ISDN from Bell but suffice to say they couldn’t get it to work and didn’t bother telling me while I was waiting for a service response.  Losers!  Then there was the issue of a wiring problem in the house and they wanted an exorbitant fee to even come and address it – found a cheaper and better solution.

My new service supplier isn’t perfect, there was always going to be service issues but it’s how they handle them and to date they have surpassed Bell by a very wide margin.

Bell Sucks.
