Hi,

So one of the neighbour on my street cut the fiber optic cable by accident on July 22, leaving my landlord and me without any internet connexion. Bell send a technician on July 24 and they did a temporary fix, which is 2 cable laying on the ground without any protection. On July 30, someone move the cable and then we lost connexion again. Bell send a technician on July 31 and he told me the line is now too short to do a fix so they need to install a new cable and send a 3rd partie to dig. I've been told that it was urgent to put me back online, so team should show up August 1st, NOTHING happen. Call bell back, I've been told team should show up August 2, NOTHING happen, call bell back, been told they'll come August 3, NOTHING, call bell back today again, been told they should show up today and to know the ETA call 1-800-268-4213 but the office is closed. So, what can I do now. Who should I reach because at this point BELL is a joke. I'm working from home and it's a real pain right now. If no one show up today again, no way I'm gonna call bell to be told we will reschedule again and nobody will show up....

So, a bell technician call me to tell me he'll be here in a couple of minutes without any 3rd partie team to dig.... So I told him, that a temporary line couldn't be install because of the neighbour and he said well so if there's no temporary line there'll not be any 3rd partie because they come only after a temporary line is installed. He also told me all people I've spoke to at Bell support were lying... What is this Company ....

Hi there @UserUnknown 
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community.
We wanted to check in to see if you've had a technician go out to get your service back up and running?
Looking forward to hearing back.

Yes, he install a temporary line in the post. It took 5 technicians and about a week to get this done.

My elderly mother has been without her landline service since late November when someone crashed into a telephone pole, knocking out service to about 5 customers, including my Mom. Since that time we and the neighbours have not been able to get any repair from Bell. 

Apparently the repair was scheduled to finally take place on December 26th, but the truck never showed up. 

Several times Bell has sent technicians to individual homes to respond to the lack of service, and each time they are told that the problem is not at any of the houses, it is the line that is down about 2 km away up the road. 

How can we get Bell to deal with this?
