I was sitting on my porch about three weeks ago
When I was approached at my door by someone I didn’t know
He told me he was working for “Cogeco” and then I sat him in a chair
I told him I was a “Bell” customer and the conversation went on from there
He was a pleasant young man and we both shared our points of view
We chatted for about an hour before we were finally through
He answered every question and knew what he was talking about
So I thought “what the hell”, I’m going to help this kid out
This is a free trial, what do I have to lose?
I thought, finally a channel to watch our local news
I could watch the “Battalion” hockey games this season
Went with the conversion for those two reasons
The installation was scheduled for Monday of the next week
I was getting pretty excited to get a peak
I would have to wait at home for the installer to arrive
Someone had to be present between the hours of nine to five
It turned out my wife would be the one to hear him knock
The “cable guy” arrived before I finished my dog walk
He did what he had to do, gave me some tips and went on his way
It was only ten o’clock, which meant I had all day to play
The first twenty four hours I wasn’t sold on their brand
Some parts of the controls were hard to understand
I installed their app on my firestick but it wouldn’t go
It wouldn’t work on my version, how was I to know?
This meant I would have to purchase new ones to complete this chore
This would cost me up to a hundred and sixty dollars or more
That money could buy me two more months with “Bell”
So this was no longer “free” as far as I could tell
So I called up “Cogeco” and cancelled my subscription right on the spot
Two days of viewing and I gave it all I got
Boxed all of their equipment and mailed them parcel post
Still remain undecided on which one I liked the most
