Cool Ideas, Not So Cool

Initially, the service I received from cool ideas was fine, they would communicate timeously & effectively. I moved from one province to another(I didn't give a 30-day notice, there's no contract or agreement that stipulated this - no extra charges incurred) continued to use their fibre service. The issue began when I wanted to leave, on the 6th of June, I advised that from the month of July I will no longer be needing their services. I was advised the they for whatever reason could only cut the month to month service at the end July. I was badgered and harassed to pay for the month of July for a service I did not use. They went as far as sending me a letter that threatened to affect my credit score. No one was willing to reason with me, when I chose to terminate the service - the approach changed completely. I'm disgusted. Unbelievably disappointed. I will never use this service again.
