We have had ongoing issues with the quality of our wifi, frequently cuts out and doesn't reach all rooms in the house - even with an extender....

I cannot get high speed wifi as they insist that it has to go underground through my neighbours lawn. I love the wireless wifi I get but I cannot get unlimited and would like to et more. Sometimes netflix stocks to load as well. I am very happy it is available.
Pros
great its available
Cons
cap on data a bit low for me

I have used Freedom internet over a 2 year period and have found their team friendly and helpful in resolving my queries. Response time has been quick.

Good performance over several years. Decided to leave because the price goes up and the incentives are removed (Netflix, Neon) over time. Not proactive to offer better cost/performance so rang up customer service to see if there was a more competitive offer but no interest from them - only offer was to remove the landline to reduce the monthly fee Bye bye!
Pros
Reliable
Cons
Expensive

We used to be with Netsmart and they had an amazing customer support as well as quick techinical intervention when there was an issue. Sadly Lightwire purchased Netsmart in 2016 along their existing clients. Lightwire did not contact all Netsmart clients explaining what to expect in regards to services. In December 2020 our equipment had to be upgraded as incompatible with their new upgrade network and we got invoice $600. We were offered to pay $300 + 10 a month for a full maintenance which we accepted but incompetent staff means we were not invoice and our acceptance for the conditions forgotten. We have just had recently another faulty equipement and again invoiced $600. Get very expensive. ...read more
Pros
Propose plans of 200 GB for $155 relative speed 16 GB download 5GB upload
Cons
Equipment is not very strong, highly senstive, gets faulty quick particularly with bad weather. I advise to check with your insurance to insure it. High fees to repair at $600 each time. Also can be up to 5 working days before you get an intervention. They make mistakes like forget to invoice then invoice 7 months later. Not very good communication with Customer support. They also provide tech support to repair faults then once done you get the surprise it will be $600 again. ...read more

Cons
I am not aware of any extra features/bundles that are offered.

Some IP addresses are blocked. Technical support is nearly impossible to get hold of and do not call back. When I cancelled my service and changed to another provider they charged me for an extra month despite not giving service
Pros
Cheap for 12 months
Cons
Poor reliability, poor service, poor technical support. Not worth the fuss.
