I have been with Can-Com for years. They were my second company after leaving the big companies (Rogers/Telus/Shaw). First, I went to TekSavvy, but I didn't like that their prices changes after a promo period (same complaint I had with the Big Three). At Can-Com, I could have the same price every month, year-after-year. I had a gap where I was a tenant of landlords who provided internet, but had Can-com before that and Can-com afterwards. We asked to have another cable port installed into one of our walls, and unfortunately it seemed like an impossible request. When a technician did eventually come after many no-shows, he said he couldn't do it. We were still charged for the service we never received, but were eventually refunded. Shortly after, we needed to cancel our service because of an upcoming job loss (maternity leave), so we made the request and then realized on the same day that we'd need /some/ internet for our household; so, we called back and asked to instead switch to their cheapest plan. Unfortunately, our internet was already disconnected and we would be charged $50 to re-activate. You know, I've recommended Can-com to so many people; practically my entire office at work has switched to their services. I asked if they could waive the fee. They said no, then said yes, then the most unsympathetic (and frankly, unprofessional) manager called me and said no (and complained to me that they refunded me the technician fee I paid for the technician who never showed up, and that they are still trying to recover the money from the technician for themselves, as if that is my problem!). Even after I explained that there were other companies with cheaper rates and faster services and no activation fees, they still said no. This was, to me, the final death knell in my former love for Can-com. I don't know what happened, because they really were great in the beginning, but I just could not believe that they weren't willing to credit $50 to keep a customer who they a) wasted hours and hours of time to be home for services that never appeared, and b) successfully recommended many people to them (I'd say reasonably 5-6 people). I signed up with VMedia tonight (no activation fee), and I'm now slated to get faster internet for a cheaper price. I wish I could have continued to support and recommend Can-com; but unfortunately, it's almost like they went out of their way to ensure I couldn't. read more
