| Teksavvy Store in Scarborough Saw the first Teksavvy store at Splendid China Tower in Scarborough just opposite of Pacific Mall. As expected, it's Chinese owned. Never knew Teksavvy had retail stores... |

| Take a picture, I'm sure Marc would be interested if someone's using their name illegally, if indeed they are selling internet services, perhaps reselling.
The directory of the mall on their website doesn't show it.

Just be very careful not to be caught taking a picture. Scammers don't like to be exposed. |

My guess they're probably trying to cash in using TekSavvy's advertising on TTC buses & shelters.

I thought TSI have resellers because I noticed a kiosk in the First Markham Place food court offering TSI internet for years. |

Speaking of which I finally saw one again today at the 401 and Islington Ave. Been weeks since I saw a TSI bus ad.
I live very close to this supposed "store". If I go that way I'll try to find it and take some pics. |

You sure it wasn't just a big re-seller sign? |

Resellers/Wholesalers of TekSavvy should not be using their name, the way I understand it

It's possible, as there was a sign next to it. TekSavvy pretty much covered the name of the store though...
I'll get a picture if I drop by the area. |

said by HiVolt:Resellers/Wholesalers of TekSavvy should not be using their name, the way I understand it Of course resellers use the Teksavvy name. Resellers are just sales agents for Teksavvy. Teksavvy even promised us marketing materials to use (sometime last spring I think). Of course that never happened (along with all kinds of other things...).
Wholesalers, on the other hand, do typically rebrand the product. Whether wholesalers should be allowed to use the Teksavvy brand in any way is an interesting question. |

Are you sure about that?
I thought TekSavvy provides billing/support for resellers but not under the TekSavvy name, and the reseller has their own name that they advertise.
Wholesalers have their own support, billing, etc, just the internet portion is provided to them.

Hello Teddy,
We do have a bunch of marketing material for our resellers, however, due to a large amount of changes in our available services/prices/etc, much of it is a bit out of date. I have been pushing to get updated marketing material to send out to our resellers, both new and old, and have a list of customers to send this info to once it arrives. If you could shoot me a PM, with your reseller account/email I can reach you at, I'll get that new material to you as soon as the Biz team has it.
