Memes were made.
Wait time screenshots were shared.
@RogersHelps 4 hours and 36 minutes on hold then disconnected. Looking for the 10GB/$60 BYOD plan.
But that's just life under the Big Three.
The crazy response to the Rogers/Bell/Telus 10GB/$60 plan should give you an indication as to how badly we're getti… https://t.co/M8K0NJ9Qo2
