Teksavvy Ads on FaceBookI would like know why TekSavvy is suggesting to it's customers and or future customers they should cut the cord and cancel their TV package subscriptions when they don't even offer a TV solution? I wonder if Martin can explain these ads because I am sure everyone here would like to know!? » www.facebook.com/TekSavv ··· ?fref=nfIt would seem the marketing team at Teksavvy doesn't know how to choose the correct words when producing these ads and instead of selling Teksavvy's services they are selling some other service Teksavvy doesn't provide. Thanks |

What ads do you speak of? Care to provide a screenshot?
Maybe TSI is saying cut the cord and just get Netflix or other Internet TV streaming service to move away from incumbent's overpriced TV service. |

"Cutting the Cord" means cancelling your TV service and using online sites/streams for shows.
If Teksavvy offered a TV service, that wouldn't be "Cutting the Cord". |

Again.. What does cutting your TV service has to with Teksavvy who doesn't provide TV service? IPTV is a online service, and technically so is Bell Fibe TV as it goes over the internet. Their ad just doesn't make any sense. |

As he already said cutting the cord means switching from a traditional "video over a wire service" (Rogers, Bell) to internet streaming and OTA service (Netflix, Hulu, etc). |

People can tell you to "cut the cord" without having an alternative to provide you. |

Teksavvy bought a TV company in Madoc Ontario last year. |

They're telling you that using their Internet service and a over the top streaming service is an alternative to packaged television services. I see nothing confusing about the message. |

Hi Leathal "Cord Cutting" is a phenomenon that has been growing in Canada over the last decade. Many people find that with services such as Netflix, Crackle, Twitch, and YouTube they no longer have a need for their cable TV subscription. When we took note of this trend we commissioned a white paper to see what more we could learn. The link in our Facebook post leads to the aforementioned white paper. If cord cutting is for you there may be some relevant info in the white paper. Our customers all use the Internet for different and varying purposes and some have left their traditional TV subscriptions behind in favour of a streaming solution. "Cord Cutting" has become popular enough that a few individuals have gone so far as to become Cord Cutting Consultants according to the CBC. » www.cbc.ca/news/business ··· .3005946I hope I've been able to address your concerns. |

I know it seems like I'm "splitting hairs" but Bell Fibe TV does not go over the Internet. It is an IPTV product delivered in a closed network via multicast which is traditional with that type of service. |

Cord Cutting means not paying $150 to watch a TV program when a broadcast corporation deems that you do, PVR or not. |

Perhaps you should research how Bell Fibe IPTV works before you comment. |

Or do I have to actually click "Send Now" on that form to receive the note? Not interested if that's the case. Speaking of that form, try typing "asdf" into the email box and see if you can read the error message...the red on red doesn't work so well (on my monitor/eyes anyway). |

I think you have to understand that TV "cutting the cord" reffers not only to TV but also to the landline phone.
Also, WHY should they NOT say that? You can use the internet to watch TV ...They can say to jump with a parachute ... or to stop posting on Facebook ...or on DSL reports ... or whatever they want ...
I think you just try to play smart here ... |
