“Glad I Switched to Telcan”

Theresa C.

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

Switched over from Rogers. Seamless and lower priced. So far so good. It was very easy to set up the modem.

I had an issue with local cable quality - Not Telcan's fault, there's a faulty cable somewhere in the neighbourhood.

Telcan was great with followup, checking in a few times to make sure that the issue had been resolved.

Telcan has been on top of this ever since I decided to switch to them from another provider. Text messages, calls, emails - the works to ensure a smooth transition. During the outage we had - they are happy to credit you for the time lost. All for a fair price. They are quick and professional - and anything a normal household could ask for and MORE!

I have been using Telcan Internet for about two years now and I am very happy with it.
I constantly get great internet speed, and they do not block any content or sites.
Best of all that they do not surprise me with constant price hikes, unlike my previous experiences with Rogers and Bell who give you a decent deal initially but then keep increasing the price every few months.

I recently moved and decided to change internet providers while at it. Telcan has been very reliable with only a couple of hiccups and the price is about half of what I was paying before for the exact same service.

A representative of the company came on the appointed day to install my DSL, that I had pfreviously received. The person called first to say when he would arrive. He spent 3 hours getting it to work (at little after 9 AM to just after the noon hour)! But in the end it has worked just fine.

I work remotely from home, so I am demanding to disconnects. For 3 month disconnects happens may be 2 or 3 times for a short period. It`s acceptable. Internet speed is excellent. The price also.

Always been happy with the service. Any problems I've had have been addressed promptly and fixed right away. Customer support has been great. Always getting stated speeds with no lag. Download speeds are always constant and I even get more upload speed than specified. Never have anything buffer and media streams flawlessly.

I want to revise my review which I sent earlier. The company worked very hard to sort out all issues. The service is fast, reliable, and strong. I am extremely pleased with their quality and with their service and I highly recommend them.

Thank you, Telcan, for a job well done!

Although our company strives for 100% customer satisfaction, it’s clear we’ve fallen short in this instance. We've looked into your account and it seems like an isolated issue as it is not impacting all cable clients in your area. Our technicians are working to resolve the issue at the earliest. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Recently we had trouble with our cable connection. A Telcan team trouble shot it within 1/2 and managed to fully restore proper service. Getting ahold of them is not a problem, and the team has always been professional.

When I acquired Telcan internet for my home I was concerned the service wouldn't be good enough for a rural location. I was and am glad I made that choice. FIRST, the internet service is excellent. Multiple devices all running without loading any problems, even at peek usage times. There was only ONE time their was a service interruption since my service was installed over 4 months ago and that was because of a ROGERS nationwide outage. SECOND, the price is below other providers for 500mbps, so for my family, Telcan provides excellent internet service.

Tip for consumers:
I placed the modem above the floor and not behind objects that interfere with the signal such as behind a television or glass.

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.
