    I just saw the news where Bell Canada screwed up someones pre-authorized payment to the tune of over $200. A month ago Bell Canada disconnected my phone service for the 4th time in 6 months for unknown reasons, and increased my DSL bill by 12 percent. I cancelled my Call Answer service and my bill is now $20 less per month, even though I thought the service was only costing me $7 per month.

    Considering the problems with Nortel, Worldcom, etc. this is very suspicious, in fact IMO blatently fraudulent. Is anyone else out there having trouble with Bell Canada?

    When I was a teenager, just getting out on my own, I rented a 3 room apt. 3 light bulbs, 1 fan, a guitar amp and a refridge. I got a light bill for $1600! Like to have freaked. It was a case of misbilling and they quickly rectified it.

    Have you ever noticed how many times you get billed for a call you didn't make? Somewhere that you don't know people? Happens all the time. I am constantly calling to get them to take off calls that no one made. This sounds like a bit of chicanary to me. It isn't once in a while, its every bill. Most of the time there are also directory charges in the bill. Me, I use the phone book and the internet directory not calling an operater to find out a number.

    $300 is still quite a bill. I would hate to know that I would have to meet that every month. I think it is the monthly bill that I would hate the most.
