Years ago, I moved the Shelborne. At the time, I had a Bell cell phone
and symaptico internet. After waiting two months to install my new line
(next week!), I called and canceled the move order and canceled my cell
phone. The lady insisted they could have a truck out the very next day!

Never regretted moving, never once thought of going back. Horrible company.
