A former Shaw customer discovers there is no Rodgers service at my house!
Ok - I was not thrilled to hear about the merger - I have always really liked Shaw - but what can you do? At least the 5 year price guarantee gives a person a chance to shop around and since all my other services are with Shaw I figured no harm no foul.
My experience trying to set up the new service was frustrating ( an hour on the phone to start) - then it seems the Purolator driver decided to leave my new SIM card on the ground at the end of my rural driveway - which meant it was only discovered by chance 3 weeks later!
But card in hand i am ready to switch - except after another hour on the phone I am told I must go to a Rodgers store - that means a ferry trip and a half hour drive all to move my phone carrier (not by choice) and once I arrived they couldn’t understand why the folks on the phone couldn’t have done this but I digress - OK - now I am at home and have discovered I only have 1 bar of service at my address - not enough to make or receive calls - arggghhh!
I have tried all the online fixes yet I still only have 1 bar - which has me wondering why I always had good service here with Shaw - didn’t they just merge?
So I am using wifi to make and receive calls now - but that does me no good when out in the garden and is not what I am paying for!
So I am left feeling incredibly frustrated and not at all happy about “together with Shaw”.

Ok - I have tried ALL the steps - still have 1 bar. Map says Salt Spring is fully covered.
Has Rodgers assumed all of Shaws inforstucture yet? It seems very odd that for many months I had no issue with Shaw - first day with Rogers? My phone is basically unusable. Any solutions?
