Last week I came with my 80-year-old mum to the Shaw store in the Uptown Mall in Victoria. She had…read morejust opened an account with Shaw Mobile and was carrying her new cell phone with her. She needed help to port her old cell number to her new phone. Grayson is an employee at this Shaw location. He explained very kindly and patiently why he was unable to help us. He gave us instructions for completing this process online. I remain frustrated that Shaw, the company, makes it so difficult for someone elderly, like my mother, to interact with a real human to accomplish a task that should be simple (buying and updating a new phone with an old number) but isn't. We still have not completed this action successfully. But my frustration has nothing to do with a real-live customer service person, like Grayson, who did his very best to help us. I give Grayson and his colleagues at the Uptown Mall Shaw store top marks for their kindness and helpfulness.

Can't complain about Shaw so far. We are new customers, and got a pretty good promo on internet…read moreand cable. They showed up to install it exactly when they said they would, which is an experience I've never had with a cable company. Customer service via phone seems adequate - sometimes slow to get a human, but they're always pleasant and helpful. Our internet service has been reliable, and I'm happy with our cable as well. We even added a few more channels to help get through this whole dark damp winter. I would try to stay away from going to their walk-in location on Cloverdale though - I had to go return a phone modem (long story involving my other half agreeing to a free trial of digital phone without consulting with me), and it was a pretty unpleasant experience. To be fair, it had very little to do with Shaw and more to do with the customers having really unfortunate and illogical arguments with the agents at the desk regarding unpaid bills and such. (Do people seriously not realize that if you stop paying you'll get your service cut off?!) Took me 45 minutes to drop off some equipment....Not impressive. Hopefully everything will continue to work well and I'll be able to sweet-talk customer retention into another deal when our promo ends!

I recently visited Vancouver with family and wanted to avoid the hassle and potential high costs…read morewith international plan with ATT so I decided to look into renting portable WIFI hotspots. Since I am a techie myself I researched many different companies offering this service. I ended up with WIFICube because it was the easiest to deal with in terms of being able to pick up and drop off directly at the Vancouver airport with a kiosk versus dealing with paying for shipping and waiting for the device to arrive at our residence prior to the trip and then mailing it back after the trip. The whole process was pretty painless, except for this. I purchased the Canada PLUS plan for unlimited data for 6 days. When I got the hotspot device from the airport, I noticed that it shows 10GB limit and was on ROGERS network. I figured maybe the limit is a soft limit, and once we have reached the 10GB it might throttle our speed down to a slower speed or something. I read the disclosure about data limits and no where did it indicate a CAP or limit for data usage, but 4 days into my trip we had hit 10GB/10GB and that's where the problem hit. The connection stopped working altogether. The hotspot itself still on and working, our devices still connect to it via WIFI, but the Internet connection from the hotspot to ROGERS stopped completely. I finally drove by a Starbucks so that I can email the WIFICube support about the problem. Never got a reply while we were still in Vancouver. That was a week ago, still not a peep from the company about my question to them why it was NOT UNLIMITED as advertised. Hence this bad review ... if you don't expect to hit the 10GB limit with the Unlimited Plan, it will be fine for you, but otherwise, prepare for the worst. Very disappointed about their false advertising.

I would suggest you guys to have some kind of instant message platform for customer service. Customers would get a much faster support. Thanks to David again!

She was patient and very helpful in explaining how the corporate plan worked. I returned with the final decision to go with Telus. Jen was busy so I worked with Dylan. Dylan was kind and very professional. He walked me through step by step about the plan. He helped with ensuring that my son, who also joined my plan was added to my plan even though Dylan would not get commission on this transaction. Dylan's first line was to ensure I was happy and understood all about the plan. Because of his exceptional way of dealing with customers I decided to upgrade my phone. I can't thank Dylan enough and know if I had any questions he would have no problem helping me.

I contacted Alee with HiTek Telecom to get a quote on a complete network job for my home. Not only do my spouse that I work from home, but I also do a lot of photography and video that I transfer back-and-forth on my network and into the cloud. I was tired of poor and drop connections with my consumer level Wi-Fi system. In addition, I wanted a local security camera system that I can control without relying on a cloud service. After receiving a quote and agreeing on the scope of work, I scheduled the installation. Alee came out on time on the date scheduled and we walked through the plan of installation and confirmed what all my needs were. Alee and his team worked through the day and completed the install job in an incredibly professional manner. The installation and the cable runs, and all of the final product was exactly as described. After the install, Alee walked me through downloading all of the software that I needed, how to access and navigate the system, how to navigate and operate the security cameras, and ensure that everything was working properly. To be sure, this was a relatively large install for a residential application. I wanted ethernet drops in every room of my house, a new professional grade network cabinet, in-ceiling WIFi network, and a new suite of security cameras. I couldn't have asked for a better end product. I am quite pleased with the attention to detail of the install and making sure everything was perfect, workmanlike, and care was taken in my home. Alee came back out to adjust a couple of things for me after the fact and install an additional camera. Again, he was on time on the scheduled day. The workmanship was just as good and the communication has been stellar throughout. I truly can't recommend HiTek and Alee enough. Top-notch product and top-notch service.
