Their chat line doesn't work either and can't be used for account cancellation or billing issues, etc. Plus you're expected to wait forever for a chat agent, too. This is basically zero customer service, but they want you to pay good money for their internet service. I guess my next step is to take legal action against Start and Telus (the new owner of Start) for negligent performance of duty and negligent infliction of mental and emotional distress (after all, isn't needless aggravation a form of mental distress?) No one should have to fight that hard or be forced to waste a lot of their valuable time just to get the most basic, essential customer service. If you're looking for an internet service provider, my only recommendation is to avoid Start if you can.

And when I try to…read morecommunicate with the Megawire rep I get the run around and I have asked for followups but they don't even do that!!! Worst internet connection ever!!! I highly DONT recommend them in the Tri Cities area. Would have given them NO stars but that wasn't an option. Zero customer service and zero follow up and the worst internet I have ever had.

We have been with this company going on a year, for the first 6 months things seemed to be okay,…read morethe system would go down from time to time and that's to be expected with point to point. However the last 6 months have been a battle, we were paying for 10-1 and we would be surprised if they could maintain that for more then a couple days with out it dropping down to less then 1 down. Ruth, who answers the phone seems to care, however don't believe a word she says," I'll call you back im making a note so I don't forget" this is her famous last words or I swear to god I'll call you back, never does. I always had to call back, and then they stopped answering my called until I started blocking my number, surprise they answered those calls but if my number wasn't blocked they wouldn't answer. The only person who seems to actually put his words to action is Steve, not sure what one but there is two of them. Melissa is also nice to deal with, but over all you will pay for something you don't get, I'm in the middle of a calm with the CRTC to see what can be done as we have spent so much money for nothing with these guys. Finally we have found another provider who will be able provide for us what we pay for. Look at using someone else who will actually take care of your internet needs.
