Has anyone ever called Rogers and had their called answered without “we’re sorry but due to a higher than normal volume of calls…”?
When do they have a “normal volume” of calls? You call at any time (I did before 7:00 am today) and expect at least an hour wait. E-mails and letters go unanswered (I have a stack in my files) -- maybe if I just stopped paying the account?
I guess Rogers has to keep their staff to a bare minimum so they can keep their prices so low (sarcasm intended) – I guess I could switch to Bell – they’re so much better!!!

In my area Rogers staff are kept busy calling customers to try and sell them services they don't want and have said so many times before.
National Post editorial board: A cure for election fever

Editorial, Full Comment
We're not all that surprised by the results of the latest CanWest News Service and Global National poll, conducted last week by Ipsos Reid, which shows the federal Tories with an 11-point lead on the Liberals. The government has handled the economy about as well as any in the industrialized world, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper has acquitted himself admirably at international summits and in the Arctic this summer. By comparison, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and his party have looked weak and indecisive on the few occasion on which they haven't been altogether invisible.
We expect that when Parliament resumes in the middle of September, and the opposition parties again have a daily opportunity to gang up on the Tories on television, the poll numbers will tighten again. Still, there is a positive side-effect to having the Tories at 39% support (43% in Ontario), while the Liberals are at just 28% -- a 12-point swing in just two months -- even if it's a temporary blip: The results have killed the Liberals' ardour for a fall election.
The country doesn't need a fourth election in five years. As fractious as our current minority Parliament is, there is no compelling issue on which to fight an election. If the best the Liberals can come up with is the "need" to standardize Employment Insurance qualification rules across the country, then they would be well-advised to cool their heels until a real issue comes along.
With the death toll in Afghanistan mounting this summer, the Liberals might have played the withdrawal card -- bring our troops home -- to force an election. But Mr. Ignatieff is at least as much of a hawk as Mr. Harper -- so his sudden conversion to peacenik would have appeared affected.
The Official Opposition might have made more of the year or longer shutdown of the federal nuclear reactor at Chalk River, Ont., and the adverse effect that the resulting shortage of medical isotopes is having on cancer diagnoses around the world ... except it was the Liberals who neglected the needed upgrades in the first place.
They could have fallen back on a favourite old Liberal canard-- that Mr. Harper is too pro-American -- except that the current U. S. President, Barack Obama is still popular in Canada, so being labelled pro-American no longer has the same sting. Besides, it is Mr. Ignatieff who actually claimed to be an American. While working in the United States just a few years ago, he routinely referred to "we Americans" in newspaper articles and television interviews.
The Grits might even have tried to pull universal health care out of their bag of tricks one more time, except there, too, most Canadians are at least resigned to the growth of private health-delivery options. Even the Canadian Medical Association, meeting in Saskatoon last week, voted strongly in favour of more private clinics and private delivery of publicly funded treatments.
The only true reasons the Liberals have to force an election are selfish. Either they are keen to save Mr. Ignatieff from looking like a clone of his feckless predecessor, Stephane Dion -- who made a habit of threatening elections only to back the Tories in the end to avoid defeat at the polls. Or, there are elements within the Liberal party who were enraged by Mr. Ignatieff's June decision not to force an election over EI and stimulus spending. It is this angry faction who are now dropping election rumours everywhere in hopes of backing their leader into a corner from which he will be forced to bring down the Tories.
Only the leaders of the small opposition parties -- and the power-hungry elements among the Liberals -- are hot for a national vote. But a vote now would cost taxpayers about $300-million and is unlikely to produce a Parliament much different from the current one. We should be grateful that the latest poll numbers make one less likely.

Switch to Bell? Ha! Now there's an empty threat (and I assume you intended it that way)...
I was on the phone with Bell a couple days ago for technical assistance. Sheesh. After playing around with my modem for half an hour and resetting it several times, the tech eventually said he was going to pass my complaint over to another department, but that they had no lines busy and they'd have to call me back. They never did.
A few hours later the Internet started working again (seemingly) on its own, so probably there was a line down somewhere or something.
Whether its Rogers, Bell, Tellus or whoever, they are all the same. They charge too much and don't know what they are doing!
High treason
46. (1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,
(c) assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.
Canadian citizen
(a) commits high treason if, while in or out of Canada, he does anything mentioned in subsection (1)
Why is Omar Khadr not being tried for treason?
He clearly violated the criminal code by fighting with the taliban while Canada was at war with the terrorist group.
I don't understand this.
How is this not treason, and why are the police not following the law by charging him with treason?
Wow, you sure weren't kidding about people posting comments that have nothing to do with your original post.
If you want to hear from Rogers just write a nasty message about them to someone who has rogers.com. I can tell you this because twice I written about Rogers in an email and within a few days I had a response from Rogers...the last one was to my son in Ottawa in which I told him I was sick of Rogers increases and was going to cancel with the next one....in a few days Rogers called me and said as a preferred customer I was getting a 20 percent discount on my services for 12 months....just seemed funny as rogers is my son' server. ..I figure they are reading my emails..nuts eh. well it happened again.
