      My letter to Eastlink below is self explanitory
      "Thank you for your note.
      As a result of earlier correspondence from Eastlink, I have reviewed the Consumer Creditors’ Conduct Act and have contacted the **** . I was in the process of filing a written complaint regarding this matter when I noticed your incoming e-mail.
      Although you have now reduced the balance on my account (by an amount that I did not owe), I personally feel that the manner in which Eastlink handled this situation is deplorable, causing avoidable but considerable stress and placing an unnecessary burden on me. Since Eastlink questioned my integrity and threatened to engage a collection agency, I had no choice but to make a very significant and time consuming effort to find evidence of my innocence and to preserve my personal credibility.
      This was in addition to telephone time spent on two other separate occasions (late May and again on June 30th, 11:21 - AM. (1hr 22min 27sec). During the later call, I was told by the Eastlink representative that she would contact the warehouse to locate the allegedly missing items. I felt comforted by that - only to receive an email from Eastlink at 4:30 PM that same day essentially saying arrange to pay us $285.00 within 30 days or deal with a collection agency . I immediately responded with an email at 9:06 PM and reaffirmed that the equipment had already been returned on March 12, 2025.
      After an extensive search, I managed to recover evidence of my innocence and that the items were in fact returned to Eastlink in the manner that they had requested and on the date that I had already provided to Eastlink on 2 previous separate occasions. (images included in letter)
      I don't know if the issue was due to incompetance or complete dismissal and disregard for customers ... but it is a far cry from Eastlink's claim "We put our customers first"

      Hi Brian, thank you for sharing your recent experience with us, through your BBB review. I was able to locate your account and have had the interactions you had investigated and can assure you that I have shared what I’ve learned with our front line teams so that we can improve in the future. While I don’t see the images you refer to in your review, I was able to find reference to your returned equipment and truly apologize for the frustration you were caused in our efforts to reconcile things on our end, that process should definitely have been smoother for you and resolved in mid March.

      I was on the phone for a total of 2hrs and it took 3hr17min to get the issue resolved. I spoke to 14 different employees - 4 of those being supervisors- my call was dropped 2x. The supervisors that I spoke to were good - the cust care reps were absolutely terrible - I have never in my life been treated or talked to as badly as I was during this call last night. My issue was data overage charges totaling over $650 in one afternoon. There was always a block on my cell phone use so they wouldn't go over.
      Honestly, the problem wasn't with the data charge, it was with how the customer care reps spoke to me - condescending and rude - unwillingly to help and argued when I asked to speak to a supervisor - **** ******* responded to my request for a supervisor by saying "I will transfer you however there will be no adjustments made to the charges".
      I feel as though the treatment that I received from the customer care reps was abusive.
      The supervisor that solved my problem was ***** ********. My call did drop while I was speaking to him however, I managed to request a call back from hi directly and he, very willingly corrected the charges in full, added a top up of data to each of the 3 cell phones and credits the top up charges - he also put the block for data use back and wasn't sure who or how it was removed. ***** was fantastic and apologetic. But after 3hr17minutes, I was not in the right frame of mind to file a complaint through ***** (he did take the names and ID#'s of those that I had). I want to change companies and cancel my service however I have contacts on 3 out of our 4 phones on the account. I feel as though I'm at Eastlink's mercy now for whatever treatment they give me with no options to leave.

      Good afternoon Amy, thank you for sharing your experience with us. I apologize for the issues you had with your account and the frustrations when trying to get it fixed, it certainly doesn't sound like the experience we strive to provide our customers. If you would like to email us privately, to [email protected] I would love to have my team review your experience so we can learn from it and improve moving forward.
      Thank you.

      ******** is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They DO NOT do business in 'Good Faith'. Their treatment of seniors is criminal. Charging seniors for services that are often not working. Providing them with old equipment for a brand new service. Equipment that broke down a week later. Then leaving a week or more before service is fixed. ******** expects the client to call in to receive a rebate for service that is interrupted; even though they have a notification that reports them exactly when you were out of service. The problem is the interruptions are a weekly occurrence. When I call in there is often a 45 minute wait. I have been left a week and half without an essential service, my home phone! When I got through they said they could not get here until the next week. When I asked them to correct the address (2 times) they did not do it which also made it difficult to find the house for the technician and in turn I was waiting around for 4 hours instead of being the first visit as the technician. I believe that because this is a 'Senior' account I do not get the same priority as other clients who may be in school or working.

      Moved to Newfoundland and was told that the service would be best suited for our needs, after numerous delays, installation came, installed home phone, and internet and television. When the service technician left he was so brief on using our television service, never gave us the phone number for the land line, and the wifi was poor quality. I cancelled my package and returned all items installed except for power supply as instructed to not remove even if we cancel. I returned all items beginning of July, and as the end of August approaches we have not been reimbursed for payment of services. I have received a bill stating that a hub wasn't returned. My frustration is non refund of my money and never received any information of technical devices being returned. The only proof is the tracking number from Canada Post that I obtained when returning the devices. Calling their number is a commitment to time as it takes over an hour or more for any type of response and then given any excuse of what is happening with my account. Summary, it has been almost 2months and no resolution.

      Hi Wendy,

      Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. On behalf of Eastlink, my sincerest apologies for the overall experience this has caused. I'm happy to confirm that the equipment in question has been removed, and that we'll be issuing a refund cheque for the credit balance on the account.

      Thank you,

      To start off, I am an eastlink cable customer; only cable and nothing else.
      As of this date, for the past two months I have noticed more and more on that the tv guide has been incorrect and has not matched in any way the shows being provided.
      Also, on the channels of oln, game show network and teletoon,, the tv shows and movies provided have been repeated almost daily; by that I mean from one day to the next you will see the same shows repeated, if not at the exact same times, then (at times) twice daily over the course of that same day. Then it is repeated the next day and the next and the next and etc. With the same thing as described previously, the tv guide descriptions either not matching the shows being provided or just a generalized description so vague that it sounds like a horoscope.
      It is being shown that as a business, you cannot take pride in your service to your customers .

      We accepted home phone, TV and internet service from Eastlink in March. One aspect was international long distance(UK and Eire) for 18c/min .In May we had a huge bill with that charge applied at $1.65/min. Spoke to an agent by telephone who agreed to reduce the bill in accordance with 18c/min instead of the $1.65/min. Our part of the deal was to open a mobile phone account including a phone and associated package with international long distance added. The phone was to be picked up at the Eastlink store the next day. Approval of the changes would take a few days.
      When I arrived at the store I was publicly refused the phone because Eastlink claimed I owed over $700 for non-return of equipment for a home service in 2011 at an address on Duncan St. in Halifax. I have never resided there although my son did. Eastlink claim someone informed them I would take over his account when he vacated that address, later changed to taking over only his phone. This is obviously nonsense since I was living in this house(my current address) and never planned to move to his apartment. I have talked to Eastlink customer service on Monday, July 22, requested they provide me with some proof of their claim within 2 days and have received nothing from them . I want a written apology from Eastlink as well as the financial change to my account that was previously agreed.
      It is notable that I have opened and closed several accounts for home service with Eastlink over the years since 2011 and no dispute in 2011 ( or any other occasion) has ever been mentioned and obviously I passed credit checks for those more recent accounts.
      Unfortunately trying to talk sense into Eastlink's customer service was a waste of time.

      June 20, 2024, my 90-year-old father received TWO emails from EASTLINK with the subject lines (1) "Welcome to Eastlink" ("thank you for choosing Eastlink and welcome to the family! Here are the details of the services you have ordered:") and (2) "Confirmation of Your New Eastlink Services" ("Your Eastlink services have changed and we wanted to make sure we get everything right"). These deceptive, false and misleading emails were sent implying my father ordered new services (the word ORDERED is even in the emails) despite him having cancelled Eastlink services and changing to ****** *** MONTHS AGO! This prompted him to be worried he was being charged $120 monthly for Eastlink services he never ordered as the emails contain an invoice-like bill with monthly charges and services listed. This practice has been reported to the ***** *********** ******* ****** ** *** ******* ************ ** ******* *** ******** ********* *********** ****** (the two emails also did not have UNSUBSCRIBE links which is legally required under CASL). EASTLINK SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITS DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES!

      Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to share your father's experience, it certainly doesn't seem like the type of experience we strive for with our customers. Those emails are generally only generated automatically when an order is placed so I'd like to investigate to better understand what happened here. If you'd be willing to share your father's address with us privately at [email protected] I would like to make sure that there are no issues, or that if there are, we address them right away. If you are authorized on your father's account we would be happy to reach out to you directly as well once we've had an opportunity to review.
      Thank you again for your time.

      DO NOT GET FIBRE THROUGH THIS COMPANY!
      Currently as I write this review it has been 14 weeks since I have order my internet services through Eastlink and I still don’t have it.
      I am not typically a person to write bad reviews however I feel it may be the only way to be heard as nobody employed through eastlink has listened to me yet.
      On June 27th we ordered internet through a 3rd party company only to have our request rejected from eastlink stating we need to have a site survey completed, this took 3 weeks, after that we heard nothing, I have been dealing with ******** in the site survey department who informed me that after the site survey the process would take 6-8 weeks.
      After our 8 weeks of waiting I called for updates to which I was repeatedly told “it’s been processed, I can’t tell you anything else” and that was if I was lucky enough to get someone to answer the phone or to call me back
      Fast forward an other 4 weeks there has been 6 scheduled technician visits to our house, including a no show. The first 2 visits the technicians were not given the proper information about the fact that this was a fibre hook up, and they were not given the proper equipment to complete the task anyway.
      Through no fault of the frontier technology technicians visits 3-6 were also unsuccessful.
      Eastlink refuses to listen to their hire techs and their costumers telling them they need to send an experienced Eastlink fibre tech, with more equipment to the site. Instead they have been sending the same poor guy, who can’t help us any further.
      I have taken 6 personal days from work to be at home for these site visits, lost 6 days wages (remember, 1 day a tech did not even show up)
      Eastlink has been rude, short, and very unhelpful on the phone every time I have called.
      I apologize for the long winded review but I would like to save someone else from a 14 week long headache if I can
      Again I hate to leave a bad review, so please look this up site survey #169336

      An hour on chat with ‘*****’ for a simple transfer of an esim from one phone to another - he was unprofessional, unhelpful, and ultimately dumped me off to customer service after an hour of nonsense assuring me they were still open when they weren’t. He should be canned.
      Here’s an example:
      “ ***** 10:18 pm
      And you don't have the QR code?
      RG 10:18
