What the hell good is that?? I paid for 1.5MB download an if it comes out to 1621 Kbps or 1.6 Mbps downloaded at: 198 kB/s I could live with but this , 70 to 80 kB/s is not acceptable. Something has to be done with this companies xlornet.com rip off , and misleading advertisements that do not deliver any were close to what you pay for. And then after you paid for installing it smugly replied O sir the speeds you are getting are acceptable. And then go on to say ,you have thirty days to cancel . BUT YOU ARE STUCK WITH INSTALL COSTS> in my case $184.00 While that is like pulling up to get gas and they have a price of say $3.00 dallars a gallon you say give me 10 gallons and they deliver 5 gallons a charge you $30.00 and tell them this is not acceptable, and then say while if you do not like it we will take gas back for a cost of $60.00 I thing not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdanes Posted February 24, 2007 CID Share Posted February 24, 2007 another unhappy customer ... I am currently cancelling my service with xplornet and going with an 'UNPLUGGED wireless service' from another Canadian service provider.. Dealing with xplornet is like being robbed on a monthly basis Where are the lawyers interested in class-action suits? xplornet tries to cover themselves by stating they DO NOT provide for 'minimum' speeds...but I feel as though they can only provide service a little bit faster than dial-up.......get out while u can or get minmum service and minimum service levels.. This company is not interested in retaining a market share. It seems they are only interested in ripping off customers as they do not anywhere seem to provide customers with close to the speeds they pay for.. If u are in Canada look up unplugged wireless...just an option at a fraction of the cost... and we got an extension of the trial period without any problems to see if the service will stack up to it's claims over a longer period.
