They then went and rage-posted about the cleanliness situation there. Then they got banned. Then they came back and got permabanned (I think). We remember the poor sod as the "Timmies" guy or the Burnaby online "news" rag guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bob Long said: I've had pretty good success this year getting on with customer service and threatening to switch, not in a jerky way just letting them know there's other good deals out there. E.g., if you're a Koodo customer you can get 500mbps for $65/mo and it rarely goes under 450 for me. So, I did a speed test and I get the following. Does his compare to what you're saying with the 500 mbps or am I running a different type of test, or is my connection that much worse than yours?

Curmudgeon Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 15 minutes ago, The Arrogant Worms said: We still help our son out even though he is fine because that is how I was brought up. Family 1st. It was that way when when my Mom was alive. When my Dad was in his 90's he would still give me money for gas or supper even though I said that we don't need it. My wife and I grew up in a time when you graduated high school, then either went to university or went to work and made a career. Rent was reasonable, gas was cheap, real estate was affordable and a family could get by on one salary/wage if necessary. No more. The economic pressure on my kids is intense. They rent (apart) in Vancouver and both work hard but when things go wrong or an urgent need arises, we are there to help out. We are grateful that through hard work and modest spending over the years, we are able to help our kids keep their heads above water. You never stop being a parent, and your kids are always your kids. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bro says my connection speed is the cheapest but it works just fine for me. I watch streaming stuff all the time like Prime and DisneyPlus with no problems, plus my cable is internet streaming from the main box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After spending more than 48 hours on an adventure filled with excitement, I finally arrived at Vancouver, via train through Seattle. What better way to celebrate my return for my first meal of the new year in Van City! So, folks…Do I fit right in..? Also, I’m heading to the team store to get that “C” on the jersey I’m currently wearing! Are you part of the Seattle Kraken 32 Krew group on Facebook?

I'm on 5G as Telus still won't run fiber from the pole to my house (50ft) - even though they hung fiber on the poles 4 years ago now!

Gawdzukes Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 1 minute ago, WHL rocks said: Can't believe how yours could be so slow... Wow, that's crazy lol. I just did another one and it went up to 32.5. Better but still far behind. I never have problems but I am usually only running one TV and use my computer 95% of the time over my phone. My pa uses his computer in his suite as well but even less than me. We've never had any speed problems but we pay a pretty significant price for internet+cable. Should be better maybe or we're overpaying for cable. I think they'll be getting a call tomorrow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
