Acanac Isp

Fran64 · Nov 7th, 2007, 01:12 PM

Hi, Does anyone know anything about this ISP company. They are offering High Speed DSL for $18.95/month. I am thinking very seriously of switching and would appreciate any comments or opinions anyone might have.

Yes they suck.
Any company that uses SPAM to promote themselves, uses a template monster site for their corporate presence, advertises Canaca.com and has trolls ask questions about them in the hopes of more traffic should not be trusted.

I dont think "artistseries" knows anything about Acanac at all...I have been using them for both High Speed Internet and VOIP service for 11 months now and I would highly recommend them...I have used Bell...Rogers and Shaw for internet service and I cant see any difference stability wise...Acanac is on par with all but at half the price or less...their VOIP service is 9.95/mth and includes all the calling features...voicemail...call display...call waiting...call forwarding...etc...and unlimited calling anywhere in North America 24/7...cant beat that...

Wow, does this feel like a completely contrived thread or what. I bet if I look hard enough, I'll find the script.

Do ya think?

Creative sales method, no?

Wouldn't touch a company like Acanac with you know what.

For one thing, it reminds me of a duck with a cold. Or that pesky Aflack duck once someone landed a mallet square on its little avian skull.

take a look at reports in the canadian broadband forum over at dslreports.com / broadbandreports.com. You'll see they don't have a very good following, sure prices are low, but you often get what you pay for (not much).

If you are looking for an isp, may I suggest teksavvy, price is reasonable for the premium service and live _knowledgeable_ telephone tech support that picks up the phone on the second ring can not be beat. (I'm no promo bot for teksavvy just a 2nd year client that has been very happy with them).

I would second TekSavvy... I've had nothing but superb service from them since August.

For the record: Acanac = not recommended. Poor customer service, lackluster support, too much downtime / connectability issues.
