I joined Teksavvy due to the affordable prices and reviews of great customer service. Shortly after joining I was not able to connect. I called Teksavvy technical support to discuss. The voice recording stated that they were experiencing connection issues in my area and they were trying to address the issues as quickly as possible. The recording also mention how to reset the modem to see if it would resolve the connections issues. Due to the message provided I disconnected the call and waited for them to fix the issues. I tried reset the modem to no success. Two days following I would reset my modem when I came home from work I would reset to no success.
On the third day I reset and my internet started to work. I then called customer service to find out if they would be crediting the account for the days I was without service. The customer service agent explained that the issue was resolved that day. I would not be eligible for a credit on my account as I did not speak to technical support about my loss of service as a result they are not aware of how many days I was without service.
I asked the rational of advising customer via recording that they are experiencing service difficulties in their area if the expect them to remain on the line. He agreed that he understood my rational but it is beyond his control. I asked to speak to the Customer Service Supervisor. They stated that the CS Supervisor wouldn't be able to assist as it is related to a Technical Support.
I spoke with them to no success I attempted to cancel due to the cancel service and inquired if I could return the modem as I only had it for approximately 2 weeks in order to reduce my out of pocket cost due to the up front fees associated with signing up with Tekksavy. Please noted 2 weeks is a reasonable return time for most retailers. She then mentioned a slew of fees that weren't mention at time of purchase.
The service might be much improved if Teksavvy technical support team sticks with repairs instead of attempting to following up with Customer concerns. To make matters worse the speed which I use to get with our internet has greatly depleted.
Both calls resulted in a 45 minute wait to even speak to an agent.
Do your research, I stay because of the equipment purchased and upfront fees that I would be out off. I have the cheapest internet plan so the credit to my account would of been less than $5. Its not the amount its the mere principle. As a result of their poor service my mother has decided to go with Comwave for internet provider.

 | | Your review Hello telecia.knight,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We definitely appreciate the feedback and I can understand how frustrating that must of been. What I will forward from this review is that we should add in our recording when outages happen that if you are still experiencing issues after 24hrs to contact us again to see if it is still related. If you could PM me TSI Jonathan your account information, I would like to use it as an example.
For the wait times, it is something we are aware of and we just hired on 20 more representatives to assist with that and even opened a new office in Gatineau where we will have an additional 12 more representative there for now.
Again, thank you for taking the time to write this review. It definitely helps us to see where we can do better in the future.
Thank you,
