  • Canada
  • $20 per month
  • "Nothing"
  • "No QoS, Service down for days (weeks) at a time, no support, crooks"
  • "Use only if you can live without the service being available and you got a money tree."

Value for money:

Primus, although trying to fix the shortcomings of their mediocre hardware through firmware updates, also end up screwing up said hardware to a point where it's not usable anymore. After they do that, leaving you with only email to contact their support department, they will ignore any attempt you make to actually get support to fix their screw-up.

Unless you don't mind paying for a service you don't receive and you like being ignored stay as far away from Primus as you can.

In this case, you don't even get what you pay for. On top of that when you cancel they charge you an extra month of service, "cancellation fees" that add up to more than a month's worth of service and "hardware handling fees". All around crooks overall, couldn't be more happy not to be in business with them and will never be caught again.

Primus

Primus's parent company entered bankruptcy in the US in 2009. It did come out of this a few months later, with creditors now owning much of the company.

Primus's US VoIP operation is Lingo, which in the past had a high proportion of negative reviews on this website. There are no recent reviews of Lingo and I suspect that people may have migrated away.
