I have been a loyal MTS customer for 51 years…

over the last number of years I have been able to have a bit of a discount but they have come to the place where they are not providing anymore subsidies…

on top of that, the area I live in can only get 50 mbps, which is not really sufficient for all my Google Home units, tv, streaming, video games, etc…

one of the biggest changes has been the fact that I needed to change my email address, which I have had since email began (when dinosaurs strolled the earth)… a new address was set up many months ago, and slowly I have shared that information with others… over the last few weeks we have notified all of the organizations I am connected to as well…

today, I changed my provider to Shaw, who apparently can give me 1000 mbps, for less money…

so I am saying my goodbyes to MTS…

I didn’t want to make the change but felt there were no options… it was difficult as I am loyal to companies that I am connected to, but unfortunately MTS no longer seem to value longtime customers…

Tony, the technician, was here for over three hours and came across a number of complications, of course… but he was pleasant and got it done…

the Googles are all happy and changed over without any action needed on our part, woohoo…

and, I am beginning to learn how to use the new tv remote;-)… those big girl pants, lol…

above is the pile of things that we now have to send to MTS, by mail apparently…

tarpaulin…

the kids stopped by and brought me some Halloween candy…

they fixed a problem with the printer and then stacked and covered the outdoor chairs and tables with another large tarpaulin… too bad the tarps aren’t the same colour, lol… the job went very smoothly…

they work so much more quickly than I do, lol…

the top deck is cleaned off and now there is more space in the kitchen where the footstool and cushions for one of the chairs were… the cushions have moved into the garage for the winter…

every step is helpful…
