I am moving away from Rogers. I have zero reception in my apartment and according to some cell tower maps I have found online Telus has 3 towers closer to me than the nearest Rogers tower.

So I have to ask our of the companies that use Telus towers, which has the best plans between Telus, Koodo, Bell & Virgin? Or others if I am missing some

I'm on a Virgin plan (they and Bell are the same company essentially) except Virgin's customer service is actually really good and accessible while Bell's is average. Also, about twice a month Virgin rolls out optional text messages or emails regarding 2-for-1 movie ticket nights or discounts at retail stores, etc., something that doesn't happen with Bell. The downside is that Bell/Virgin are a little more expensive, I found.

I pretty much despise Telus and their laughable customer service and Koodo is as much of a joke as WIND is in any given area - cheap but no guaranteed service areas. Mobilicity is in that same boat.

Boogies Burgers..

I have actually only had the opportunity to eat their once and ordered the Blazing Saddles? burger. It was absolutely delicious but I was sporting a fairly horrible hangover and couldn't get through the entire thing!

I definitely need to go back soon that's for sure.

I watched that movie in school a few years ago. Interesting movie.

That feel when you go to study and then 10 minutes later I'm in the kitchen doing something entirely unrelated.

I mean, not me. Someone else.

EDIT: Someone turned on Netflix.

Who put this beer in my hand?

Guys help!!!

Invite a classmate of the opposite sex over to study. That way it's far more enjoyable and you're doing what you're suppose to.

He doesn't need to do that. I don't think he has too anyways.

That feel when you find out you don't have an exam at 8:30 am anymore and instead it's at 12:30 PM.

I remember I was having a study date back when I was going to SAIT. While my "friend" was over, I received a phonecall from my now wife, I told her I have company over and I couldn't talk. Well my friend heard me say that and she immediately thought I was a player. Oh the good ole college and Back Alley days.

I was in a panic this morning because I was running late for my exam and also I forgot my pants at home but then I woke up in my bed and thought to myself 'lol you finished that **** years ago' and proceeded to show up to the office half an hour late.

Ah to never have to write an exam again. It's truly a blessing.

Uh yeah, I would get in a whole bunch of **** if I did that.

Study dates are reserved for school only

WOW I'M KIDDING IF SHE EVER SEES THIS

Only one more year to go after this one.... hooray

If I graduate with a Master's, I only have a thesis and defence to get through. Done all my courses last year. It's been bliss.

Also on a related note, I'm really excited right now because I submitted a paper and it's gotten through the referee process without being rejected. The first paper I submitted got rejected outright because one of the ****ing referees apparently couldn't be bothered to actually read the damn thing. I thought this one had even worse a chance to get through, so it was a pleasant surprise!

I've heard nothing but good things about Virgin, and I've had no issues with Telus so far since switching from Rogers a year ago (almost to the day). Rogers is far and away the worst company I've ever had to deal with.

Having never used Rogers but having used Telus, this is how I feel about Telus.

What would have happened if you re-submitted the same paper?

Has Telus tried to stick you with an $800 bill (happened to my friend, not me), or two cancellation fees for the same phone? Not trying to be rude, just asking if you've had a similar experience with Telus?

I had a bad time with Telus when I was in high school, and switched to Rogers not long after I graduated high school. Was with them for seven years and the last four years were absolutely terrible.

For the record, I think all of the big three are a big joke, it's just a matter of who is the biggest and smallest joke.

All companies service sucks now.

I have been with Rogers, Bell and Telus over the years and my ex was with Koodo and not once was there anything resembling good customer service from any of them. I know that I will never get good customer service.

I just want to know which one has the best plans since they all use the same (telus) network out west and should receive very similar quality in product as a result.

Telus consistently charged for services not used (aka DISABLED services) and generally just had poor customer service.

Could be different now I admit, with the new telecommunications laws in place, but they lost me already and unless Virgin manages to start trying to pickpocket me, I'm sticking with them with the foreseeable future - their coverage is fantastic since it's Bell/Telus towers and I even feel like the CSRs want to help resolve whatever issues.

 

[Anglesmith]

What would have happened if you re-submitted the same paper?

We're going to submit it to a different journal, but we need to change the approach slightly and add some more experimental data which I haven't collected yet. The problem is that typically regardless of what journal you submit to, the editors would all inevitably pick the same referees from the field. So it's likely that we'd just end up with the same reviewer who would do the same thing again, this time with 50% more contempt.

I'll have to keep an eye on that sort of stuff, but so far I've had nothing but smooth sailing with Telus for my home or mobile services. I've heard nothing but good things about Virgin, so I may check them out next year once my contract with Telus runs out.

On another note, Anglesmith, what are you doing your masters in again? I know you're at UVic, but that's about it.
