Ce sondage devrait être offert en français! Le service en français, par téléphone, est très bon, mais le site Internet et les courriels envoyés sont souvent écrits dans un français assez boîteux. C'est un aspect à améliorer!

The price is unbeatable, for where I live (Quebec, Canada)
The technical support is great and they have a presence here at DSLR
The installation has been sooner than expected.
The speed is really what they advertise (60mbps / 3mbps) Far from the UP TO from the outdated Bell Network.
I had an independent installator who's is Videotron affiliated. The work has been professional and everything was great. I have nothing bad to say about him.
I have buy a DCM475 and gone to the ISP Office to get it. something I maid for the last time in 1994 
They only offer 250gb options with the 60mbps. You can buy up to 4 bloc of 75gb for 5$ each.
This is an upgrade from my Teksavvy connection. Hope they won't become Teksavvy 2.0
Edit: September 2012
So far they are fairly reliable. They had some slowdown on the evening this summer, but they always worked hard to do appropriate correction. I would recommend them to anyone.
Edit: December 2012
I since installed them to many friends and relative. They are still reliable with only few drop in speed from time to time, nothing to worries about. I use them at two Commercial building and its a smooth ride. They are still focused on customer satisfaction. I still Highly recommend them to anyone.
Edit: February 2013
The upload speed have been upgraded to 10mbps. The upload on Cable is now 2.4x faster than download on DSL network and 15x faster than the DSL upload speed.

 | | 300 Mb or average Yes, my only concern with EB is 250 G cap. If they rasise it to 300-350 or average 2-3 months, then it would be great, and I jump in right away. | |

Ordered cable service at 20 Mbs for 39.95 + tax, 150 GB download. Great price for the speed. Bought a Thomson Docsis 3.0 cable modem through them as well, decent price at $100 + $15 shipping, arrived in 2-3 days. $50 for the cable installation which was able to be done on a Saturday. Videotron handles the installation and sends a voice message to let you know when the technician will be there which is nice. All in all the upfront costs for the installation and modem will pay for themselves over time compared to the price offered by other companies (i.e Bell). Very satisfied with the service.

Currently I am using you Internet cable connection (High speed at 31,95 + tx). The install process lasted 2 weeks from the moment I call and the installation which for me was a little long. I decided to purchase the modem on my own because you shipping price is too high and since I live on the North shore (St-Eustache), your pickup office was definitely too far for me and by buying it myself (Motorola SB5101N ), I have saved a lot of money!.
As mentioned above, you would need to improve your customer service for future consumers who calls in order to have information. Because I have called several times in order to ask some questions and every time I've waited at least 30 min and the max was (1h30). The person to whom I talk actually excuse himself in the behalf of your company for the waiting time.
Plus, I think we should be able to pay you by check or directly from my bank account. I don't like to give away my credit card number with all the fraudulent activities going on now days and I am not the only one. This is one of the main reason that I hesitated before doing business with your company.
Your should also increase the clarity of your invoice.

| | you can pay via online banking Hello after reading your review and being a customer of theres for over a year now I would like to point a few things to you. First of all you can make online banking with them as they are registered with almost every bank in canada, the only thing is they require for the first 6 months of your service to be on a preauthorized plan after these six months you can remove yourself from this no questions asked on there end. As for the wait times this is a bit normal in order to keep the lowest prices availlable they cannot hire as many agents as Bell or Videotron could and there for cannot give the same time limits as you get from a bigger isp. Give them a few months and you will be glad you have changed to them you will have saved lots of money in the long run. | |

join:2002-02-21 | Re: you can pay via online banking Thanks for your feedback. Actually we adressed the wait time drastically for customer service and pre-sales over the past 2 months. We literally doubled our staff and hired an HR specialist to make sure we have enough staff at all time.
Average wait time for the month of march was less than 2 minutes.
We're still working on the support department. It's a little longer to train staff there and make sure they understand what they do.

I have two 25/10 DSL dryloop accounts with Electronic Box. The first account was active about 6 weeks ago at a rental address, the second has been active for just a week at my home.
My tenants were having reliability issues and slow downs with the previous ISP,. Ebox had great rates, no dry loop fee, so I ordered the service. The 12:30 - 9 pm install window was a juggling act, but we arranged it and the techs both came and went. The service wasn't up to speed when the tech left and by the next morning there was no internet at all (the previous dry loop was active until the next day). After talking to tech support we were able to determine that Bell had switched the pairs (the pair with live Internet was the pair that was not hooked up at the POTS splitter). Because the inside wiring was all over the place, I just switched the wiring at the demarc (not a fun task in the middle of February when the demarc is close to the roof line of a bungalow). Got the service working so I didn't have to schedule another day of waiting for a tech to show up.
The service is now reliable with no issues, so overall I was satisfied. I ordered an account for my house because I was happy with things.
For my home installation, the Bell tech arrived early, did their thing outside and the service was up and active before the Telecon tech even arrived. I was getting 25/7, but figured the next tech would get me up to full speed. She arrived after 8 pm, did some minor work on the wiring, but never even tested speeds. I mentioned that I was only getting 25/7 and she said that's probably the max you'll get, have a good night.
I wasn't so sure about this, so a couple of days later I checked at the demarc. At the demarc I was up to 25/9.5. I called into tech support and they said with the installation warranty, I should get the same speed in the house as at the demarc, so they scheduled a tech to come in.
I was home all day for the tech, yet no one showed up. They called my cell phone at 8:34 pm then at 8:56 pm, yet no one knocked on my door. I escalated the situation to upper management at Ebox, yet when tech support called all they could offer me was another 1 - 9 pm window despite the incompetence of their techs (I know third party, but they hire them. In this case Bell did their job right the first time).
So overall for two accounts, I would have had to take 5 half days off work to get two internet accounts working. If I was working at this time I would consider that completely unacceptable.
I have found Ebox to be a good company to deal with for the most part, however the installation process is a mess. The internet has been reliable (even though the upload is slower than it should be). The unlimited windows are excellent (2 am - 2 pm).
I would hope that they can improve the install process. Once is excusable, twice is the beginning of a pattern. I hope they are successful, however if I were to have to deal with this again, I would probably be done with them.

Never had to call: ordered via the site and asked some questions via email. Great customer service, no copy-paste replies. Picked up the cable modem at their office.

I did a comparison of the various DSL internet providers in my area and ElectronicBox came out on top.
I required a dry-loop install, high download speeds, good reviews from existing customers, stability (company has been around for a while) and a high download limit and ElectronicBox was among the top for almost all categories. The deciding factor was that there was no monthly dry-loop fee, unlike other providers.
On the downside, installation charges are a little high, especially if you have your own modem. Also, billing is charged early (sometimes 3 weeks), even though the regular monthly billing cycle starts on the first of every month.
It took 10 days to get an install (mainly due to having to wait until the end of my billing cycle for my previous internet provider) but installation was quick and easy.
Configuring my own ADSL modem (Thompson Speedtouch) was relatively painless, thanks due instructions on EB's website.
I've only been with EB for a couple of months but overall, the experience has been quite satisfactory. Trying to speak to an agent can be a lengthy process (sometimes wiating for close to an hour) but when I do connect the support is always friendly and helpful.

Commandé le service par Internet puis 2 semaine plus tard, le technicien de Videotron passait pour l'installation.
Reponse tres rapide par courriel a mes questions.
Facturation simple.
Vitesse constante: Cable 10/1 pour 32$/mois
Je regrette de ne pas avoir quitté Bell avant!
