The rat bastards at sympatico switched me to Bell lite from high speed ( which is suppose to be 7 MBPS ) without my permission after I complained about the price. I only got 3.25 MBPS to 4.5 MBPS with the high speed. With the Bell internet lite I am getting the full 1.5 MBPS promised. The strange thing about this is that I have noticed no difference in speed yet I am geting it for $19.95 per month compared to over $50.00 per month for the high speed. If you are not a gamer I suspect that it will make no difference to you. My suggestion is to go Bell lite if you do not need the speed.

BTW - The original complaint was that I discovered that I was getting charged for $6.97 for wire care ( insurance on the telephone and internet cable in you home ) and phone care ( insurance on your telephone handset ) to the tune of $13.96 per month for 8 months.
I requested a credit for but they just switched me from high speed internet to bell lite interent. ( i will stick with the cheaper service ) Check our old bill to see if they are charging you for insurance for your wires and telephone handset. I want my $13.96 per month ( times 8 ) back!

Insurance on your telephone line and handset? WTF? No wonder I refuse to deal with Bell and/or Rogers...

They are charging you close to $14.00 a month without your permission, check you bills and get your money back.

Both the big servers are Rip-off's
They should immediately abolish their so-called System Access Fees which they are forcibly collecting from their clients every month, its high time some Govt. Authority should make a note of it for this illegal charges they are minting from their customers and now lots of people are resenting it due to recession. Bell & Rogers should be made accountable for charging such non-government approved fees, open economy does not mean that they should openly rip-off their customers the way they want, its an open white collar scam, which should stop immediately.

I was charged for a service called ALL MUSIC, which I never ordered nor did I even know I had for 9 months. They had to refund all my money, but only after 6 calls. They said that since I did not report this with 90 days, tough titties you pay!
