I live in a townhouse complex that has just got fibre installed to the main phone closet. I need to get fibre installed to my unit. However, I cannot use the online appointment booking system for some reason; the webpage errors out and tells me to phone TELUS. When I phone TELUS,they give me a scheduled appointment but the technician never shows up even after waiting 4 hours after scheduled time. When I phone customer service, they say there was an ‘error’ on their end that prevented the appointment from being scheduled properly and this time it will work… This has happened twice. I am going to lose my landline in a few weeks as TELUS disables copper but it appears they have no interest in upgrading my home line. What should I do? Does TELUS really want me to switch to a cable phone? Are they just incompetent?
By the way, the phone call at 3:30pm in the afternoon on my home phone the day before the appointment, asking me to confirm the appointment when I am at work with no call back number is a really useless addition to this process. I have already confirmed the appointment. I answer the reminder phone call on the day of the appointment so they know I am home then. Does TELUS expect me to take a week off waiting by the phone continuously to take their calls?
