However, our service is intended for residential use only and does not permit activities such as hosting servers, operating web services, or generating traffic intended to disrupt or harm third parties.

  • 18. Does CanNet throttle any application in peak hours?

    CanNet does not implement any Internet Traffic Management Policies (ITMP) on our network at any time. While the CRTC permits ITMPs under certain conditions, we are pleased to confirm that CanNet has chosen not to implement such policies. We fully comply with CRTC’s transparency requirements regarding ITMPs.

  • 19. Can CanNet guarantee maximum speeds during peak hours?

    No. There are several factors that can affect a customer’s speed test results. It’s common to experience slightly slower speeds during peak hours (typically 6 PM to 12 AM). For the most accurate speed test results, we recommend using an Ethernet cable rather than a third-party Wi-Fi router, which can introduce interference. Other factors, such as the number of devices and users on the network at a given time, can also impact performance.

    At CanNet, our goal is to provide reliable high-speed internet at all times. However, occasional slowdowns may occur due to factors like adverse weather, network outages, or high traffic during special events or festivals.

  • 20. Can CanNet guarantee 1080p or 4K video streaming on YouTube?

    Some services such as YouTube, are detecting customer’s network status at home and they automatically adjust the resolution for best performances. CanNet has no way to guarantee it can be 1080P or 4K.

  • 21. Does CanNet throttle or restrict P2P software or BitTorrent on any of its networks?

    We do not restrict or throttle your P2P software, including BitTorrent, at any time on our network.

To restore service, a reactivation process is required, which includes a $65 + tax fee and a 7-day processing period.

    Yes, you may use your own VDSL device with our FTTN service; however, you must contact our customer service team to confirm whether your modem model is compatible. The list of devices supported by CanNet may change at any time based on current promotions.

  • 24. Is the installation technician able to bring my modem?

  • 25. Do I have to be home on the installation date?

    Yes, we recommend that the customer, or someone 18 years or older, be present on-site during the installation to avoid delays. If the technician’s visit is missed, the rescheduled installation date must be at least 3 to 5 days after the original appointment, depending on the availability of the underlying carrier’s technicians. To check or arrange a reschedule, please contact customer service.

  • 26. How can I manage my monthly invoice payments on my own?

    The initial order payment must be made by credit card. To switch to manual bill payments, a $100 service deposit is required. Customers using the manual bill payment method must pay within 7 days of the invoice date to avoid service interruption.

    Bill payments can be made online, at the counter, or through telephone banking with TD Canada Trust, National Bank, RBC, CIBC, BMO, and Scotiabank. To make a payment, select CAN NET TELECOM INC as the payee and use your 9-digit customer ID (starting with “722******”) as the bill payment account number.

  • 27. Can I request a credit if have a problem with my service?

    If your CanNet service is unavailable for 48 hours or more due to a CanNet network issue, a credit for the downtime will be automatically applied to your account. No credit will be issued if the issue is caused by a customer-side factor, such as problems with a computer, router, or on-site wiring. The credit will be applied after the issue has been resolved.

    Credit is generally not issued for slow or unstable internet performance, as it is difficult to accurately determine the duration of the downtime.

  • 2. How do I choose the right speed based on my internet usage?

    Based on our research, we can provide a general guideline for customers to select the right internet speed. However due to the complexity of each customer’s home network status, we cannot tell you with absolute certainty which speed to choose. Please bear in mind, this is an educated guess based on your needs and home environment. Generally speaking, we always recommend customers to select higher speed as often as possible if it is within their budget to get the best performance.

    As a rule of thumb, you can select your speed, based on the number of people using the internet in the same household. Below is a table for speed tiers linked with family size and usage.

    Tier Speed Range Typical Speed Family Size & Average App Usage Daily Data Usage (During Peak Hours)
    Tier 1 up to 30M 15M, 25M, 30M 1 person with light usage, no HD video stream, emailing and light browsing. 3GB
    Tier 2 31M-99M 50M, 60M, 75M 1 person with 1 HD video stream, emailing, and moderate browsing/usage 6GB
    Tier 3 100M-199M 100M, 150M 2 people normal usage with 2 HD video streams and/or moderate browsing 12GB
    Tier 4 200M-499M 200M, 300M, 400M 3-4 people with normal usage with 2 HD video streams and/or online gaming 36GB
    Tier 5 500M-1000M 500M, 600M, 800M, 1000M 3-4 people with heavy usage/multiple HD video streams and/or online gaming 60GB

    Depending on each customer’s home network situation, if you have more than 5 people in a household with 15M speed or just 1 person, you may feel slow internet speeds.

    Another way to estimate the speed required for residential usage is based on peak hour usage as most residential customers use internet the most in the evening between 6:00pm to 12:00am.

    Keep in mind, when your actual usage exceeds the recommended usage for that speed tier, your internet would not necessarily feel slower or slow down, as tiers for the recommended usage are based on our statistical analysis to get the best experience.

  • 3. What does CanNet’s standard 30-day warranty cover?

    CanNet provides a standard 30 days warranty policy for all monthly subscription customers.
