I have decided to keep a diary of my thoughts & feelings on our phone provider, Telus. Since they are evil incarnate I want to log all my dealings with them in case I go mad. The entries may help during any trial I may have from actions I may take against them.

Fucking Telus must die. I just found out today (and this will teach me to actually read my mail on the day that it arrives) that Telus will be cutting off my service on Tuesday, Even though I have been jumping through their corporate whore hoops like a good little zombie. I got a notice of suspension letter at the beginning of the month because my phone bill was an alarming $200.00. This obviously startled me... I knew I was a little bit behind but there is no way I was at $200.
So I did a little investigation & realized that the internet service that I signed up for at $24.99 / month - they are actually charging me $48 for. So I called in to complain, got the adjustment & got put on a payment plan. Made a payment of $90 and some change, and went on my happy go lucky way. Til the disconnection notice came. The corporate moron who I spoke to apparently did not log my call into their system & I am now past their fun time frame for payment arrangements. they want the payment in full at least 48 hours in advance or they will shut my service down. Bastards. To add insult to injury there is no one in any of their offices over the weekend to discuss (yell) this with. FUCKERS!! DIE DIE DIE!!!
I am too wiped out to be thinking about this now... Must plan revenge later.

I have just spoken with T. & W. about their Telus bills. They are having issues too & have each gotten a suspension letter in the last little while. Now... don't you think it's just a little bit odd that we have all been picked on by Telus recently & that we all know each other? Coincidence? I think not.
I think that there is some corporate fat-cat up there trying to mess with a few select individuals.. like a control group. They are trying to push us to the max so that we will freak out, call in to their so called 'customer service' and rage at them. I think this is just a big test to see how much abuse their 'customer service' can take from people who REALLY know how to express it... but I swear, on the grave of my brother (who I will be killing to make this more effective) that they will rue - yes I said RUE - the day they ever fucked with me. I won't stop until I have made every single 'customer service' panty in there weep, scream & beg for mercy, and then I will torture them some more just for giggles. And then I'm gonna go down there, with 10,000 photo copies of my Telus bill & shove each copy up every persons ass until I'm either out of copies or my arm falls off. Which ever comes first. Yeaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Oh good.. my rage is back... lost it there for a while... feels good to be me again

They are once again threatening to turn my phone off - it seems that no one at the credit office decided to log my call to set up payment arrangements, nor have they taken note of the last 3 payments I have made (they did find them after I screamed a bit).
I do honestly think that they were put on this Earth just to torment me when my stress level is at my highest. they will probably be calling me on my death bed looking to collect the 35 cents I owe before I croak.
Bastards.

Update - I killed everyone at Telus. Shhh... don't tell the cops.

Another addition - I have been giving Telus upwards of $100 / month for the last few months, yet somehow - my bill is now $260. How is this possible?

hell.... a preschooler could figure this crap out. It turns out that we are being billed for long distance calls that no one made. Not only did no one make them, no one was HOME to make them. Telus won't reverse the charges even if we can prove that we were not here. Evil fuckers even tacked on a few 900 number charges just for fun. I bet they are having a nice giggle over it now.

I'm still too mad to go into details but.... suffice to say... my phone got cut off last night with NO notice & I had been making my payment plan payments. New plans are in the works. Plans that involve me, a chainsaw & their billing department.
Nice eh?
The rage is what is keeping me alive. But not them for much longer. I think they make the phone lines from puppy eyes. Telus is run by Satan

So I had to call Telus this week to get my service hooked up to my new apartment. Moving to a bigger place in the same building so I figured "Hey , how can the screw this one up". I am a moron.
I told them about the move & gave them the new address & the move date. Here is where it gets interesting. My current phone number begins with 241.
Telus - We are sorry but the area you are moving to will not support a 241 #.
Me - What?
Telus - The area you are moving to will not support a 241 #.
Me - I heard what you said, I just can not believe it. You do realize that I have been using a 241# for the last 3 years right? And that a year & 1/2 of that has been at the number where I am now?
Telus - Yes
Me - And I am only moving up a flight of stairs.
Telus - It will not support that phone number.
Me - And you do know just how stupid that sounds right?
Blah blah blah blah blah... I made them cry for a bit but they wouldn't budge & now I am stuck with a 270#.

They called last night to say that we won't be able to get our internet service back until Monday.
Me - "Excuse me? I gave you freaks more than a weeks notice"
Morons - "We just can't do it"
Me - "Do you realize that there is a business run from this line & we need that?"
Bastards - "We'd say we're sorry but we are too busy with our heads being jammed up our asses that we have little time to ponder more the our own colons" (so I made this last part up..... they should have said it though 'cause it's true)
I'd rather make them bleed then use this service. Bleed Rectally.

I am free!!!! Free of the Telus corporate whores!!! FUCK YOU TELUS!!!! Try cutting my service off now you bastards!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
I'm switching to Sprint.
I'm so proud of me. Now my phone service is super cheap & our long distance is anytime & anywhere in North America for as long as we want for $20 / month. YAY!!! no more $400 phone bills!!!!

Can we get a canary to pluck on the eye sockets while the corporate whores scream?
Get this... I switched to Sprint back in Feb. & I still have an outstanding Telus bill which I am slowly paying down.
Telus sent me a suspension notice!! Nice little scare tactic you evil fuckers but I checked with Sprint & you can't do fuck all to me now. HA! In fact, you are in violation of some law that states that once service has been transferred the original service provider can not contact the customer for three months. HA again!! Let's see you collect this shit now.

I love Sprint. I have a huge credit because they actually record the payments when they get them. Ahhhh life is sweet.

I know that credit cards are just as evil.... it just seems that phone companies hire only the most retarded of the customer servic dregs. It's like they were picked last for dodgeball or something.
