Find the best & cheapest TekSavvy home internet plans in Canada

I have been with TekSavvy for 16 months now, and it has by far and away been one of the best services I’ve ever used of any kind. Because I don’t care about package deals including cable and phone, TekSavvy is a simple, cost-effective, bare-bones solution for me.

The customer service I’ve had is second to none. I’ve only ever had outages twice in the whole time I’ve used the service, and both times I called customer service, I was connected right away with kind people who helped me solve the problem within minutes, and both times, it was a hardware issue; there was no issue with their internet provision whatsoever. Plus I’ve had a nice chat with the service tech both times. They’re very personable.

My package is pretty simple since I don’t download anything and I don’t need the service for streaming, and the tech told me that I was lucky because sometimes the wait times are long, and perhaps this is why some people have negative issues with TekSavvy, but I have none whatsoever, and will continue using their service for the foreseeable future.

I understand that many factors with regards to the decision making with the CRTC are out of our hands, but with three price increases in the last year, I'm feeling annoyed and my budget is feeling it.

I've been with Teksavvy for over 15 years. Their technical support is always competent and professional. The service is reliable. They've been a champion of users rights. I fully endorse them.

I am walking away from TekSavvy after ten years with them.

Their customer service has dropped to a level that is not commensurate with my remaining to be a victim to the egregious level of stress they choose to inflict upon me for the meager reward their services provides. There are other ISP's available who will offer me substantially faster speeds for the same or better level of stress induced.

I am done.

My line drops, but they only point to modem issues. I replaced the modem. Another issue is that once the line drops, the IP connection hooks to another city. They gave a set of numbers to key in, but they point me to the wrong city.

Switched from Telus to Teksavvy February 2020 and my bill was $55 less than Telus at the time. First year I've had two increases so now I am paying the same as with Telus. Internet is so slow it makes it impossible to use most evenings. Teksavvy support was sympathetic but useless. I will have go back to Telus.

I have Internet only - Two increase in one year. Service is so bad most evening won't connect up at all. Customer service doesn't see anything wrong on their end .. ***.. there is a definite problem with their end. Have to change .... pain!

I've been with Teksavvy for around 8 years now and only in the last year have there been some issues. With those issues comes support. Most of the time, 8/10 times, I would say the call support is awesome. Great people to talk to, great understanding and wanting to help. Today though (March 6th, 2021) I didn't just get my issue solved, but I got it solved with amazing expertise. Without knowing the last name, Jason helped my wife and I with some weird things going on and just stayed on the line till things were resolved. Not only did he stay on the line, he actually did some troubleshooting that others did not try or talk about. It was such an amazing experience, that I called right back to get the name. Thank you Jason. Thank you very much. Just note, he never asked what kind of house we lived in, he seemed to go right to the point and got things sorted. Jason for the win. Cheers!

Never a problem with the phone or internet, the TV option is frustrating because I have to restart the Apple4 each time I turn on TS TV

I ordered TekSavvy in late December 2020 after some research on ISPs and a recommendation from a friend. Unfortunately by the beginning of January 2021, when the connection was supposed to be activated, it was not. The following two weeks of trouble shooting, and $400 repair bill, for what was ultimately a problem TekSavvy could have fixed at the beginning of January 2021 was unsatisfactory.
I gave the bill category 5 stars because it was transparent and clear what I was paying for.
I gave the customer service 2 stars instead of one because they were easy to contact, friendly, and professional. Except, of course, they could have fixed my problem weeks earlier and saved me a $400 bill to fix a problem that never existed.
Everything else is 1 star because of the previously mention problems activating my internet service.

I would not recommend TekSavvy.

For a company that is trying to position itself as the underdog to the big bad telecom companies, their actual financial practices are just as unethical. I was moving to another province and called to say I was cancelling service in Ontario and starting a new one in Halifax with the same modem. They said I should call back closer to the date because a month and a half was too early for cancelling(?) but not too early to book a new service(?). So I did call back two weeks out to cancel. Recently I realize, they kept charging me for 6 months at the old place, and when I called them on it, they said they didn't have record of the second call, so they wouldn't refund me. Imagine an ISP, making hand-over-fist in a pandemic, stealing $500 from someone who lost their job in a pandemic and saying it was because they "didn't have record of the call". And then pretending they're the "good guys". Btw, they know there was 0 bandwidth used, and they know they had the same modem (which they keep very close track of for service providing) activated on two accounts. And they have record of my ORIGINAL call to cancel. But they're keeping the money paid for a service they didn't provide. What underdogs... Feels kinda like... being with any other terrible ISP/cell provider. At least with the big companies the tech support is better because they're not begging some other company to fix the problem.

Rates went up by about $10/month within the last year, I pay $75/month for cable 40mbps. You have to pay extra for installation, modem rental etc., other providers don't charge for that anymore it seems...

Have to often pay for modem, prices increase semi-regularly

Horrible internet connection. For the price we pay, I expect fast speeds, but the speeds are so slow, that you can hardlly stream without consistant buffers. I did a speed test and it literally showed my download speed at 2mpbs. 2!!! Even my upload speed was faster! Never again! I've heard other horror stories from this provider from friends. but I still went with them because at the time, their plan and pricing was attractive. But, that's how they get you.

I'm already looking for a new provider and I'm going to make a switch real soon

DO NOT go with TekSavvy. We lost internet for 23 days in January during a pandemic and provice wide lockdown. Their technical support was not helpful at all. The cogeco technicians they sent were clueless as they sent 3 different ones and even had a maintenance ticket that would take 5-10 business days. Our internet service did not come back until after 13 business days. This is unacceptable especially during a situation like this where everyone has to work from home. Speaking with the customer service department, Managers Frederick and Daniel were the worst as they were very condescending and even tried to tell me how to plug a USB in my laptop. They showed no sympathy and were overall useless as they did not give me any helpful information. This company is pretty pathetic and I don't know how you can get away with this customer service in this day and age.

Cheaper service fees but in return you suffer with customer service. You will be waiting a long time....pay the extra $10 month and get a solid provider. Yes the customers time is also valuable but they don't seem to understand that.

You would think with more people working from home, they would be more prepared, but it's the total opposite. Wait times continue to increase.

Save yourself the headache. Go somewhere else.

Have been with this provider for years. Find the service unstable, drops off easily. Customer service is terribly hard to reach. We upgraded to a higher speed, but still have crappy internet.

Absolutely terrible connectivity, no customer service, and change price randomly. Have the cable 150 and the internet keeps on getting disconnected (been going on for months) we've called them multiple times but no help. Would not recommend at all.
