I switched to satellite tv at the end of november and have received two bills so far.  Both have been wrong.  The reason I am posting is to ask other new customers if the first bill they received billed them for two months but only credited them for one month.  I have a friend who joined one month after me and this 'mistake' was made on both our bills.  I think it is a big scam on their part.  How many people do not check their bill closely enough and pay the whole amount?  And when I phoned in to get it corrected they said it would take 6-8 weeks for the correction to show on my account and I should pay the whole amount so I don't get charged interest!  I should overpay them and they can collect interest on my money and then I need to try to remember to watch for the money on my bill in 2-3 months?!  And my second bill had not enough credits on it.  I don't hold out much hope for my third.  Any other company if you phoned with a bill problem they would fix it immediately.  I find it very hard to believe that it needs to take that long.  I think Bell is making millions by overcharging customers and it must be illegal.  At the least its immoral.  Sidenote:  My friends only bill so far was $120 over what it should have been.
