@sherryruddock -- welcome to this peer-to-peer discussion forum, where volunteers try to help.
This forum is not a direct path to Shaw Support, and it is doubtful that any Shaw/Rogers employee will read your comment, and will make a reply.
How cold has it been, outside your home, for the last 3 months? Too cold for any line-technicians to arrive & work in "40 below" weather on their infrastructure?
>> ... the agents themselves have no idea how to help.
Sigh. Poor training of the newly-hired? One "help-desk" principle is "if you cannot immediately answer a customer's question, open a ticket, and escalate the ticket to the next level of the support department". Why the Agent(s) you are not doing this is a mystery to me.
