Registering online and connecting was very easy. Telcan followed up to ensure everything was running smoothly. I wish we had known about this ips sooner

Top Critical Review

“Price increase while you are still in contract for 2 years”

Suleiman O.
1/26/24

I joined telcan in agreement that they will not increase the price for two years. After 6 months they increased my internet by $7! When I talked to them why did this that, they claim that the main internet provider (Bell) increased the price and they were forced to increase my internet price as well. This doesn't make sense at all. This is bad business and it is scam. Other than that they internet is solid and customer service is reachable. My advise don't do business with pre paid internet services who but internet service from big companies and sell it to customers. Because they will not respect their agreement just like Telcan did to me. Avoid telcan

I have been with Telcan for some time now and as of recent have been in search of plans that better suit my budget given the stress higher food and energy costs. To be fair, I did reach out to Telcan and asked if they offered loyalty plans for long term customer? My answer was a flat out "No"!. I would have given them a 5 star but feel that customer loyalty is important to my as I am loyal to a fault when I find a company with few faults. Sure they could do better with more updated equipment offerings and their customer service has its issues but overall deserve 4 stars.

Love that I'm kept up-to-date through text and email. Setting up the internet was a breeze. We got the most basic plan, which is great for your average use, but sometimes lags during video calls.

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

Great service when it works, but it seems that every month there is a service disruption, with no service. I also wish I could change my payment date, but they won't allow it even with a prorated payment.

Thank you, Rebecca! For taking the time to write such a well-thought-out positive review of our company, there are times when we may encounter issues with the physical cable provider or cabling in a specific area that causes service interruptions, and we can't change the billing date as it is set by an automated system as per your Internet activation date. We will be using your feedback to make improvements to ensure we offer an exceptional experience for our clients in the future.

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.
