Why is Moving more expensive than switching to someone else?

It's so dumb that VMedia is required to have a tech visit even if you're switching from an existing provider (note - I am aware that VMedia has no choice in this). Example: I switched over from Bell to VMedia DSL. I had to pay $99 for a Bell tech visit, Bell requires this, and what did he do? He came in, saw that I had already plugged in the modem and that it was connected properly, and left. That's quite the little racket that Bell has going there.

Its probably because you'd need another tech visit. A lot of the indie ISPs eat some of the signup costs for new customers. If the incumbent provided charges them 65$ for a signup, the ISP may charge 50$ and eat the $15 cost. If you decide to move, they are probably not prepared to eat the move fee as it probably takes them a few months of service to re-coup the initial cost.

I have to move in two months as well. I contacted VMedia by email and it's costing me $64.00 to transfer my services from one address to another.

The price is more than switching to a competitor? Or more than re-signing up with VMedia?

I am moving, and the price to continue with Vmedia is MORE that switching to a new service.
I would think that Vmedia want to retain customers. But moving is expensive, referrals none, no real incentives to become or stay a customer
Any comments from Vmedia would be great as everytime I send feedback etc, I get ZERO response.Tags: None
