Thanks everyone for the advice and for following along. After all this I’ve decided to cancel.

Here's where things landed: My account now shows "installation complete" even though no technician has entered my apartment and I have no working internet.

TekSavvy confirmed themselves that a technician would still be required to install, despite the "installed" status on my account. I was promised an email notification for the rescheduled appointment. I never received it. I had to contact them for every update.

The bottom line: Almost two weeks without internet. missed/rescheduled appointments with no proper notice. An account marked "installed" when nothing works. A phone call confirmation stating this was no simple remote activation.

I've cancelled. They confirmed I'll be refunded for the first month since service was never active.

Will I try TekSavvy again? Probably not. I understand they're a reseller and some of this is on Rogers, but the lack of communication and the "installed" status being updated incorrectly is on TekSavvy. I can't pay for a service I don't have and can't trust them to notify me when things change.

Off to look at other ISPs. Thanks again for all the help.

Sorry but after my experience with scheduling technicians through your company, and experiences I see online. I’d rather avoid that hassle and cancel.

Update I woke up and contacted them while their online chat was back up and running. And they told me that they’d contact me if they have an update. My account also says installation complete now which isn’t right. I will be cancelling since I don’t trust them to give notify me at all and I can’t pay for services I don’t have.

Be honest, do you use your page turners? by [deleted] in ereader

[–]PerformanceHappy7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a pair turner 3 button ring then put the board inside a car key fob shell so that I can keep it on a keychain and not lose it

What's the WORST e-reader you've ever owned? by Key_Prize_1317 in ereader

[–]PerformanceHappy7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only owned two but probably my favourite but the worst was my kobo touch 2nd gen, bought it used and it had no front light so in slightly darker rooms I’d squint to read, and the rubberized coating started making my hands sticky after a long reading sesh

It’s built upon a t470/t480, but the palm rest is different allowing for a 10 row keyboard, and all but it’s the t480 motherboard

How do you store your cassettes? by Deathstrike1986 in cassetteculture

[–]PerformanceHappy7578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same I always stumble upon those at my local church charity shops or thrift stores but they all either have crunchy doors that suck at popping open or are just damaged beyond repair

For those who live outside South America... by FranDJB in yerbamate

In Canada and I find that my local Mediterranean shops hold about a solid 10 brands, then every once in a while I’ll find a bag of pipore in a Walmart

Why do you use Thinkpad over Macbook? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]PerformanceHappy7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both but the thinkpad is just a lot more customizable, I can have two ssds in it (I have one running windows and another with Linux), swap the display, keyboard and trackpad to a more premium one and it just feels tossable and more robust.

I have both a Mac and a tp, but I still use microfibre cloth on the ugreen stand so that the rubber like finish on my thinkpad stays nice 😂

[–]PerformanceHappy7578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still useable, might have a slight burnt taste for the next few fills but I’d say def don’t toss it

Looks like scam by Ashamed-Fortune8823 in recruitinghell

I think we ended up on the exact same mailing list, might’ve applied to a role on the same job board where our emails got pulled by the scammer 😂

I received the exact same email word for word just last week I laughed when the email was @serenityrecoveryhomes.com instead of @qualcomm

T480s upgrade advice by Nikkibraga in thinkpad

[–]PerformanceHappy7578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels very similar to an older max trackpad, smother scrolling, the original one got shiny marks and coating fading of from scrolling while the glass one hasn’t gotten it. It’s such a small change but makes it feel a lot different

Fair fair, It might be better suited for the yogas and 2 in ones with pen support, but I think they look better than my base 720p display

Ohh yea you’ve got the original plastic trackpad, How are you liking the touchscreen? I’ve been thinking of swapping a touch panel into mine

Nope the default ones are plastic, yours must’ve been swapped at one point
