    @Bell If I have to listen one more time to your awful commercial with everybody yelling because they lost service, I will step in front of a bus! #enoughtraumawithoutthat #crazyfromcovid

  • FC52308 Francois (@FC52308) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Bell_Support @bell network is down in Ottawa area. No data service.

  • BarrhavenGuy Barrhaven Guy (@BarrhavenGuy) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    I challenge @Bell @RogersHelps and @TekSavvyBuzz during these trying times, to drop their rates to 0$, to help the families out of work, those with no net access, with getting or staying connected. #StrongerTogether #freeWiFi #OttNews #CanadaTogether #CanNews

  • peterlevesque Peter Norman Levesque (@peterlevesque) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Rogers why has my bill increased by 20% but your customer support is saying you are too busy to respond. @Bell I have never used you for TV and Internet but this might be the time to switch after 30 years at Rogers. Make me an offer.

  • menewfie Fred Randell (@menewfie) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Bell your EPP cust service agents need more training , I switched over and the next week learned it cost me an extra $15/mth in service fees, if this had been disclosed to me I never would have switched and now no one will fix this error on your agents part , 10 yr Loy cust :(

  • sportsrefs Dave Patterson (@sportsrefs) reported from Gatineau, Québec

    @Bell tech support, nice job speeding up the wifi (to something close to the promised amount), but did not ask to have the PVR contents vaporized. That was an unpleasant surprise.

  • Wanda_C_Manning Wanda Manning (@Wanda_C_Manning) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @sashillington @Bell There is a website on the bottom of the front cover. You have to fill in personal info to opt out. Not cool @Bell To avoid a wasteful delivery I never asked for I have to give you my name address and phone number. Not cool.

  • markhermeling Mark Hermeling (@markhermeling) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @RogersHelps That’s okay, cancelled the service, @Bell_Support is showing up tomorrow afternoon.

  • melwitter Mel Chaar (@melwitter) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Bell service down #ottawa #south

  • moorman_neph danielle moorman (@moorman_neph) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Bell it is unclear to me why when cancelling my TV service my internet service has been interrupted this morning - your #CustomerService leaves a lot to be desired. Will be seriously considering an alternate provider in the future

  • moorman_neph danielle moorman (@moorman_neph) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    Amazing how fast you can get in contact with someone @Bell if you want to add services - but if you want to cancel they can't hear you and there are suddenly no live chat agents available... #CustomerExperience

  • CarlosAGodoyL CARLOS A. GODOY L. (@CarlosAGodoyL) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    I know not feeling well is #scary. But there’s help. Taking care of your #MentalHealth is taking care of your #health. Talk to a professional. Thank you @Bell for the #BellLetsTalk initiative. @CAMIMH_ACMMSM #champions20 💛🇨🇦

  • Diana_Bonillaxo Diana (@Diana_Bonillaxo) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Bell_Support I have no service showing right now and I have done everything I could to restart and also taken out SIM card

  • Crys_night Crystal Night (@Crys_night) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @dextweets1 @OntEnergyBoard @fordnation @Bell @ONenergy I agree @dextweets1 !! Other companies have already taken those types of steps. They didn't need time to "review policy", they acted to help people now.

  • mirgray Miranda Gray (@mirgray) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @AMBERAlertONT That they were found is great news. However this @Bell_Support customer received no alerts.

  • SensOfficeRalph SensOfficeRalph (@SensOfficeRalph) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @brian5or6 @jeanhuguesc @Bell_Support Brian you have been totally screwed by the fine print. I would suggest calling customer retention and explain what a good customer you are. In most cases they will work with you to keep you as a customer. Questions DM me as I have spent way to many hours with Bell.

  • Yorkshire_lassi Sonia (@Yorkshire_lassi) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Bell_Support need help

  • GrindsCoffey CoffeyGrinds (@GrindsCoffey) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    Wow! @Bell is scamming loyal clients during these awful times hoping people won’t notice!! Check your bills folks! Mine went up 22$/month with ZERO notification! I give more than 50% of what I receive on long term disability so my family can have phones, the internet and tv #SCAM

  • vanessa_amato Vanessa Amato (@vanessa_amato) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    If someone works for @Bell and wants to help me... I’ll take all the help I could.. or I’ll just cancel it all. #runninglowonpatience

  • Raymond_Seto Raymond (@Raymond_Seto) reported

    @Bell Two hour computer outage so you can’t setup a new account? We’re off to another good start.

  • compuperskills Joe (@compuperskills) reported

    Enough is enough. @CRTCeng there has to be something you can help with. This is absolutely atrocious the way @Bell @Bell_Support is handling their services for paying customers. I’ve gone above and beyond trying to restore my services. Even drove to a store and replaced my modem

  • DPocroianu Warrior Of Truth (@DPocroianu) reported

    I worked hard to build an honest life for myself went to College & University for 7 yrs & then took a job @bell & in 2 yrs I was broken & diagnosed with #PTSD. I wanted to have a normal life. a career & a family & another child now after 12 yrs of being sick my future is over

  • Tv09337856 Tv (@Tv09337856) reported

    @DPocroianu @Bell It may help one day if all these predators actually were put on billboards

  • Raymond_Seto Raymond (@Raymond_Seto) reported

    Great customer service from @Bell. Spent 40 mins getting sales pitches and transfers only to find out the dept I need closed 10 mins ago. What am I trying to do? Open an account for a smart watch. Also the number for the dept I need is the one I originally dialed.

  • FairTreatment5 Fair Treatment (@FairTreatment5) reported

    @Bell Please stop Telecommunication companies Bell & Rogers, to put extra charges on our bill, as we pass through the tuff situation and have no job no increment in our sallary,These companies become GREEDY, instead of giving relief to their loyal customer they start ripping them

  • Terry_Hussey Terry Hussey (@Terry_Hussey) reported

    @iliekfreezies @Bell The Bell on demand interface is absolute garbage.

  • OldDetroitPunk Ian JS Babcock☕🧢 (@OldDetroitPunk) reported

    @teeniemartini @Bell Roku is an option my only live friend enjoys. Doesn't pay for anything he doesn't want (I don't have TV) just an alternative that I've seen work. (and never heard anything bad about.)
