TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (TSI) is a Canadian residential, business, and wholesale telecommunications company based in Chatham, Ontario. In most of the country, it is a wholesale-network-access-based service provider and voice reseller, connecting its service to existing last mile networks from telecom carriers Bell Canada (including Bell Aliant) and Telus Communications, and cable carriers Rogers Communications, Cogeco Cable, Shaw, Vidéotron, and Eastlink. However, in parts of rural southwestern Ontario, the service is provided over TekSavvy's own fixed wireless network (branded as "Sky Fi"). Recently they have also rolled out their own fibre optic network in parts of southwestern Ontario.
TekSavvy Solutions Inc. was founded in January 1998. The company ranked 27th in 2008, 33rd in 2009, 44th in 2010, and 33rd 2011 on the list of fastest-growing companies in Canada on Canadian Business Magazine's Profit 100 list. By 2011, it had been rated as the number one ISP in Canada by the users of DSLreports.com for five years. In 2012, it was 12th on the Branham 300 Top 20 Movers & Shakers list.
While TekSavvy operates primarily by connecting its service to network access ("last mile" infrastructure) from Bell, Rogers, Cogeco, Shaw, Telus, Vidéotron, and Eastlink, the service differs in terms of pricing and features according to the network access platform to which it is connected.
Broadband Business Internet, Fiber Dedicated Access, VOIP Telephony and Web hosting services are available in most service areas.
TekSavvy offers fixed wireless broadband (branded as "Sky Fi") in rural areas of Chatham-Kent and the counties of Lambton and Essex in Ontario using unlicensed spectrum.
TekSavvy offers digital subscriber line (DSL) service using Bell lines in Ontario and Quebec, Telus lines in Alberta and British Columbia, and Bell Aliant lines in New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Before the summer of 2011, TekSavvy could only access Bell's "Performance" speed tier, with maximum speeds of 5 Mbit/s. Starting in July 2011, several months after the Canadian government allowed third-party ISPs to access higher speed tiers, TekSavvy started offering the same DSL speed tiers found at Bell. High-end plans with 10+ Mbit/s upload speeds require an approved VDSL2 modem, while all lower DSL tiers can be used with any compatible ADSL2+ modem. In 2014 TekSavvy replaced the rental with rent-to-own and one-time purchase options of a SmartRG 505N modem.
On March 20, 2013, TekSavvy added a 50 Mbit/s tier, the fastest FTTN tier that Bell started offering a month earlier. TekSavvy offers the same FTTN DSL speeds available from Bell. The only exceptions are that for the slowest plans, 6 Mbit/s regular DSL and 7 Mbit/s FTTN DSL is sold by TekSavvy instead of Bell's 5 Mbit/s plans. All DSL plans now offer a choice between 150 GB, 400 GB or unlimited Internet access with overage charges of $0.25 per GB (with a cap of $25).
