When travelling for extended periods this number calls up to 20 times (866-507-8350). There’s a pause, a click, a pause, and then a long beeping every time. It fills my answering machine. I have to call just to clear these calls. It makes me boil. Thank you for posting this.

Mike. I don’t work for a cable company, so I can’t answer your questions.

gaven lets be more specific on this issue.

number 1- i have a hd tv quite new and currently with a cable company offering basic cable (anolgue) for 30.00 a month. The dtv package with box not including HD can be 50.00 or more . THEREFORE cable companies charging for dtv and hd will cost you.

When the conversion happens in aug 2011 what happens .
1) Do i get digital picture for free
2) Cable companies are billing you for dtv – in 2011 what happens , no more billing for digital tv which means loss of income for cable companies.
3) Will cable companies hike up the basic cable bill which in 2011 will be digital.

So do i need a box from the cable company to receive dtv or will they hike up the cost of cable tv to retain there revenue.

yes hd can be free ota , but in small towns you may not receive reception even with those hd attennas that are for sale currently in the market. thx please respond

It's a modified version of the Freshy 2 theme.

Receiving a call from 866-507-8357 so late into the night an after acceptable business hours shows the mismanagement & poor training of it telemarketers given by the company – As a established firm like Bell it shows poor judgement on who they choose when they subcontract . When Bell looks at the dollar no matter how fraudulent its collected an doesn’t cancel its contract with that company,, won’t that reflect directly upon them?. When asked to identify what company name was calling? –The account number ? it was refused – Again Bell sharing private information of my finical records –phone # etc -without my prior written consent with a company that has legitimate complaints filed against it to the Better Business Bureau of Canada for inappropriate customer relations.. I would predict that Bell will seek another contactor that can work within the limits and rules an not a fly-by night company that likely is facing litigation – bank closures an collections itself.

Right now SPData is in control of Bell’s “Prime Queue” which is the default people to talk to when calling 310-BELL. I would certainly love to leave my name and an extension I can be reached at in the company but unfortunately that’s against policy. I can assure you that most of our team is very enthusiastic and will be willing to do whatever it takes to fix any problems or answer any questions you may have, assuming it’s related to a Bell product/service.
And Gavan; I do apologize for the misinformation by one of our agents and rest-assured that we constantly and randomly screen our agents calls for quality purposes, so as long as this wasn’t a one-time thing with the agent we’ll find out and make sure he/she is properly dealt with.

Hi
Does anyone have a number I can call to contact SPData. All numbers I have go to voice mail or are out of order.

Thanks
