the way i see it.....if they STATE it as fact, they are lying....
now if they don't know, or assume something then they
should say "as far as i know" or "from what i hear"....
the way the statement was made, makes it sounds
 like this guy knows what he's talking about, when he does not.

as far as the connection fee part goes, i said you were "lying"
because you also stated that as fact when maybe you should
have said "here in vancouver....." see my point?
maybe i went about it the wrong way, but hey, i'm just a working stiff.
as far as the rates go, no, the local offices do not set ANY rates....
the rates are set by brinks...trust me if the local offices had their way
brinks would make alot more money due to the fact that corporate gives
away WAY too much as it is!!
