jcomって在住外国人からもボロクソ言われてんのなw

J:COM’s inspection sales method is a way of soliciting customers for their cable TV and internet services under the pretext of checking the TV signal strength. It is also called inspection fraud or inspection scam. Here is how it works:
J:COM targets apartment buildings that already have their coaxial cable installed for TV reception.
J:COM sends a notice to the residents, asking them to choose a date for the inspection. The notice implies that the inspection is mandatory, but it is actually optional.
J:COM visits the residents who agreed to the inspection, and measures the TV signal strength for about 5 minutes.
After the inspection, J:COM starts to pitch their cable TV and internet services, and tries to persuade the residents to sign a contract on the spot. They may use deceptive or aggressive tactics, such as saying that the TV will not work without their service, or offering discounts or gifts.
If the residents sign a contract, J:COM installs a modem and a tuner on the same day, and charges a monthly fee for their service.
Many people find this method annoying, dishonest, and intrusive, and complain about it online. J:COM claims that they are doing the inspection as a part of their maintenance service, and that they have the permission from the building owners or managers. However, some people doubt the necessity and legality of the inspection, and wonder if J:COM is violating the consumer protection law or the privacy law. Some people also question the quality and reliability of J:COM’s cable TV and internet services, and compare them with other options, such as fiber-optic or satellite services.
