Wow, I didn't know. Now I'm really surprised. I always thought that public companies are more accountable for their actions. Clearly not the case here.Hugh Jass wrote: ↑Wrong.

Really LMAO?robster77 wrote: ↑So just got off the phone with Rogers Cable Retentions (these are supposed to be the nice ones for heaven's sake) as they tried to explain to me why the cable portion of my bill increased by $8 this month. So even with a business degree in finance, an arts degree in economics, a CMA designation and and MBA, I was told, and I quote,"You'll have to take your bill into a Rogers Video store and perhaps they can take out some markers and draw some picture or something to explain it to you."

here's another rogers story. I just got off the phone with wireless client retentions and management. I was a loyal rogers client with wireless, cable and internet. Average well over 200/mo total. Now they tell me with a straight face that i have to pay $670 for ab iphone 4, where a new customer pays $160. I'm 3 months away from upgrade eligibility according to them. The funny part is that if I cancel and go to Bell or Telus, and get the Iphone there, I still end up saving $135 by quitting Rogers. What stupidity on the part of Rogers. This is just the latest rip off that Rogers had tried to pull on me lately and honestly Ive had enough. I think I willl try the office of the president but for all of you thinking of going with Rogers, DON'T!
Rogers is the most frustating company that I've ever had to deal with.

I wouldn't bother with the office of the president if you haven't already had EXTENUATING circumstances, that is if they actually put you through at all. Try calling in again with a different approach.xstatik wrote: ↑here's another rogers story. I just got off the phone with wireless client retentions and management.

That's the way most hardware upgrades work though. Here's a crazy thought, why don't you just WAIT the three months and save the approx 500 dollars??xstatik wrote: ↑here's another rogers story.

Ok - so here is my Rogers rant. I get a call - a solicitation call from one of the contests that I entered. I got all excited when she mentioned the contest but of course it was not a win. Anyway, back to my story. She asked me to call back. She mentioned that I am eligible for savings which I am not getting so of course I call back. Dumb me. They are trying to up sell me on getting a wireless plan and they have the audacity to say to me - btw you are getting more off than you should so I could adjust that. Wait - you mean - I call you back - and you are not only not offering me more discounts - you are threatening to take the discounts away from me. What wonderful customer service. They asked me questions for which I was not interested in answering -- like - do you have wireless - NOYB... I told them that if they decide to take discounts away - I will walk away. They said we know what people are saying about us - we check the blogs we read the stuff - well if you know all of that - why dont you just offer good customer service with decent rates - remember we live in a country with near the highest rates for wireless usage in the OECD countries. Ridiculous. Better service - happier users - less blogging. Makes sense to me.

I was on hold with Rogers for just a bit over 1 hour and I had to hang up because my wife needs to use the phone...thanks God for speaker phone!
I understand it's Saturday night and it's getting late but that wait time was simply astounding. I am already a Rogers customer so I only call when I have a concern or want to change something.
I am now #3 in the queue for chat support. We will see how long this takes.

I hope Rogers chat is better than Bells. The bell one they don't even read the question (or understand it) even when I rephrase a simple question 3 different ways, then they take 10 minutes to give an answer that may or may not even pertain to the inquiry... lol

I've only been a Rogers Wireless customer for about 3 weeks and have to say their wait times and obstacles to reaching live assistance are pretty ridiculous alright. That said, at least when I do finally get to talk with someone I can generally enjoy a reasonable enough conversation with someone who speaks clear English and has a reasonable level of intellect. I also have phones with Telus, and find that most of the CSRs in their Philippine call centre have accents so thick it's just about impossible to understand them. On top of that most of them are thick as bricks and seem to have virtually zero product knowledge.

Interesting that they asked you to call them back. I wonder if they count customer callbacks as some kind of performance metric? Or maybe they just needed you to log into their system voluntarily so they could confirm you're the owner of the account they were tampering with.

Rogers is the worst company I've ever dealt with in my entire life. unnecessary fees, high prices, the worst customer service you'll ever encounter, and much much more.

Wow! I know punctuation is a foreign concept to many RFD'ers, but you more than provided the next 10 yrs worth of missing punctuation.

I was with Rogers for quite a long time and in the last 6 months have ditched them for VoiP.ms (home phone) and Teksavvy (Internet cable)
I am still with Rogers for the TV (will be interesting to see if the a-la-carte is coming to Ottawa) and cell phones (got a good enterprise deal).
I don't have a lot of complaints about Rogers except for the higher prices. I usually got some discounts by locking in for a period of time.

Read: 9 ways Rogers Communications delivers terrible customer service through social media . That article took me here. I just figured people interested in this thread would be interested in that article.
Funny, even when searching for this thread using the specific title it does not appear in results above more positive threads about Rogers.
