Shaw cable installers

[MC Hammered]

So the cable guy is putting in the outlet for my internet connection.

I'm not at my place but I asked my brother to oversee the install and call me if there are any problems. I get a phone call and my brother says the installed is having a hard time figuring out how to bring the line in from the outside since I live in a basement suite.

Since I knew how the Telus guy did it I thought I'd pass that info on. So when the phone gets passed over I ask the guy if he is having any problems and the conversation goes like this:

"I heard you are having problems with the installation?"

"Where did you hear that from?"

"My Brother. He said you were having problems bringing in the line and I thought I could tell you where the entry point it."

"Well I'm here doing the install and I'm not having any problems. If you don't like where the cable outlet is going to be then cancel and reschedule and get someone else to do it."

Fucking union jackasses. I betcha this is going to be a damn hackjob when I get home.

when i moved into my new house the fucking guy from shaw hooked up the line for the internet upstairs gave me a splitter and told me to use it for the downstairs tv and left. fucking retarded guy. i called them after he left told them how stupid he was and that he didnt do anything. hopefully the fuck got fired.

I've never had any problem with Shaw installers, but mine was an easy installation.

My friend got his cable internet installed a few months ago and the Shaw guy was really hyper. I think they are under contract and only get paid so much per installation, and sometimes the customers are nasty, so the installers are defensive, assuming the customer is a creep. But then my friend gave the Shaw guy a cup of coffee and helped him pull the cable or whatever and then he was really nice.

When the Shaw guy came to the apartment I used to live in, I was wearing my skimpy pj's and I could tell he was all agitated. He had called me to tell me he'd be late so his cell number was on my caller id. When he left I realized he had disconnected the wrong cable so I called the number and told him to come back. When he left the 2nd time he was like well you have my number any more problems feel free to call me. Hahaha
