I’ve had a similar experience with a company called Inphonex, except that I asked them to define unlimited and they said “it is based on a proprietary average calculation, and is always changing, thus we cannot tell you. We don’t even know, only the system knows”. I asked them if it was legal for them to sell a service they can’t define, and they said oh yes! I bet if I asked my lawyer, he would have a different answer.

This is cool: this post shows up on the first page of hits for HBC Connections at google. My site is on the 2nd page. Add "complaints" to the phrase and my post about it is the #2 hit!

Well… here it is, more than two weeks later, and no one has called me. I called today and they said that they had indeed reviewed the tapes and it is in the manager’s hands now. I asked when I’d hear from the manager, and yes, you guessed it, they said within 24 hours!

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Well, they didn’t advertise it as Unlimited. In fact, the advertisement was $.05 for 100 minutes. Next 900 are free!

Easier just to say $5 for 1000 minutes.

I canceled my service (went back to NBTel). I'm now reviewing the fine print and I found the following in FAQ: Is there a fee to cancel my Home Phone service with Hbc Connections? As with most Telecommunications providers in Canada, Hbc has a $55 activation fee which we waived for you as part of your sign up incentive. If your service has been with us for less than 12 months, we will charge that activation fee to your account as an early cancellation charge. This is stated in your Terms and Conditions listed in the Welcome Package you will receive from Hbc Connections. If I'm charged another $55, I'll freakin' FREAK!
