“Excellent Customer Care Service”

Carolyne M.
5/9/24

It has been easy to contact Telecan whenever, I am faced with any issue. The customer care representative listen and have given me solutions that best fits my needs plus the customer care are pleasant and will allow me express my requirements. The customer care representatives are knowledgeable about support in the network. Call wait time is realistic and there is no waitlist, so I don't have to worry about holding on phone or waiting to be transferred!

Top Critical Review

“Mediocre at best”

Best C.
7/30/24

Always takes too long to get a connection. Sometimes more than 10 minutes. Not easy to refresh your ip-address. Occasional random service dropouts when connecting to overseas servers (that problem did not occur with previous isp.) On the plus side, no contracts, no fee increases. So I stay hooked up.

The internet works fast enough, but I get about 3-5 brief outages per week. They last about 2 minutes each, but annoying when on live video calls

As a person who values honesty and integrity in business, my experience with Telcan has been nothing short of disappointing. Despite initially agreeing upon a specific pricing plan, with a 2-year commitment by Telcan for no price increase, Telcan failed to uphold its commitment, leaving me frustrated and disillusioned.
From the outset, I was drawn to Telcan by promises of reliable service and transparent pricing. However, my satisfaction was short-lived when I received an email part way through the agreed-upon terms. In summary, Telcan decided to forgo the original agreed to price, imposing a price increase. (See their email below) Despite multiple attempts to seek clarification and resolution, I was met with evasion and indifference from Telcan. (see their response to me below)
The lack of accountability displayed by Telcan is deeply concerning. As customers, we should be able to expect a company to honour its commitments. We should be able to trust that advertised promotions and prices will be honoured. However, the blatant switch and bait tactics of Telcan, and the disregard for their own terms of service leaves me questioning the company's integrity and reliability.

Also, I recently discovered that Telcan solicits reviews in return for compensation. Such practices should be banned. Anyone looking at Telcan reviews should filter results based on "negative" as it provides a clearer picture regarding this company.

The frustration and inconvenience caused by this pricing discrepancy cannot be overstated. As a consumer, I rely on accurate and transparent billing to manage my expenses. The failure of Telcan to stick to our agreed-upon pricing plan has not only eroded my trust in the company, but also created unnecessary strain as I switch providers.
My experience with Telcan has been profoundly disappointing. I would caution others about committing to service with them. I cannot in good conscience recommend their services.
Below is the communication from Telcan to verify my experience.
"Dear xxxxxxx,
Telcan Account # xxxxx
Telcan is committed to providing high-quality internet services to our clients. To keep up with rising business costs and to continue providing you with the best possible services, your internet plan price will be increasing on Feb 23,2024.
On the date of your first bill after Feb 23,2024, the monthly service fee for your Internet package will increase from $xx to $xx (plus taxes). To help accommodate this change, we will end the term price increase"
And their followup to my complaint:
"After careful consideration, our management made the decision to conclude the promotional offer earlier than anticipated. We understand this may not align with your expectations, and we apologize for any frustration it has caused."

Hi John, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused by the recent changes to our promotional offers. Our decision to conclude the two-year promotional offer earlier than anticipated was made after careful consideration, and we understand that it may not align with your expectations. At Telcan, we operate on a month-to-month service model without contractual obligations, allowing us to adjust pricing based on market dynamics and evolving business costs. While we regret any disappointment, please know that our commitment to delivering exemplary customer service and premium products remains unwavering. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are dedicated to providing Canadians with superior services and maintaining competitive pricing in the internet market. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to the opportunity to continue serving you with excellence.

Great internet for cheap and excellent customer service. Been a customer for 4 months. No complaints so far.

Tip for consumers:
Don't think too much. They use the same service as the big guys but way cheaper and decent people.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Telcan is an Ontario telecommunications company founded in 1998. We started as a platform provider of prepaid telecom services to service providers in North America. Companies currently use our infrastructure to provision prepaid long-distance, international mobile phone recharge, as well as home and business Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) services.

As a result of internal restructuring, and to take advantage of recent CRTC mandates, we acquired our ISP license and launched our very own Internet and home phone service to the markets of Ontario and Quebec. We combine our experience in the telecom business with a robust and proven infrastructure, to provide high-quality internet services.

OUR MISSION
We strive to give Canadians access to the affordable Internet they need. We’re proud to bring Canada up to speed by providing hassle-free unlimited home Internet. THERE IS NO FINE PRINT AND THERE WILL NEVER BE.

WHY TELCAN
As the “little guy” in an industry full of telecom giants, we have to stay nimble and provide people with a service that meets their needs, not our own. Our lives are changing every day and there’s no reason why one of the most important tools we use on a daily basis should have to stay the same.

Welcome to a new era of Internet in Canada. Welcome to Telcan.

Business History

OUR HISTORY
Telcan began as a long-distance phone service provider founded in 1998 by 3 University of Waterloo students who did what engineers do best - find technical solutions to everyday problems.

The first problem we solved was how to provide businesses with dependable, affordable phone services. In 2004 we launched Callture.com, a provider of cloud business phone systems. In 2015 we launched oyemobile.com, a provider of prepaid international phone calls and international mobile top-up services.

Today, established telecommunications providers see a change in the Internet industry as a problem to overcome, but we see an opportunity to improve Internet services for Canadians.
