CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO–(10/10/13)- Today Worldline, Canada’s best value in telecommunication services, proudly announces a sponsorship agreement with the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitchener Rangers Hockey Club. Worldline takes great pride in their hometown and that’s why they and their local team are a perfect fit. The Kitchener Rangers Hockey Club is a non-profit organization, governed by a 40-person Board of Directors comprised of local season’s tickets holders. Worldline is locally owned and operated and focused on creating a positive impact in the community and helping young people develop. That’s what their recently introduced “Superhero Kids” marketing campaign is all about.

Worldline CMO and co-founder John Stix said, “We are very proud of our association with the Kitchener Rangers Hockey Club.  Our Superhero Kids campaign is much more than a cute look. It reflects what we represent and believe in as an organization.

Worldine’s Super Hero Kids take to the Air!

Worldline’s Superhero Kids are taking the fight to the Big Three telecom companies saving ordinary citizens from being over charged for the Unlimited Internet, the Long Distance and Home Phone.

Working with our new partners, Sunwing Travel, Worldline is saving Canadians hundreds of dollars a year not just on their telecom bills, but travel as well.

The above video is our promo that is running on every flight Sunwing takes. With this new partnership, stay tuned for trip giveaways, #traveltips and #moneysavingtips as Worldine’s Super Hero Kids take to the air!

 

Looks like we could have a new customer in Ottawa!

We mere mortals can barely comprehend what it would be like to be paid millions of dollars per year, but apparently their problems sometimes are just like our problems.

Like when they have to deal with one of The Big Three for their Internet bills for instance. Yahoo!’s news blog, the Daily Buzz, is reporting that Sentators defenceman Erik Karlsson, who is paid $6.5-million per year, is in the middle of a very public feud with Bell over his bill and his Internet service.

He’s spent Tuesday tweeting complaints about Bell , highlighting every remark with angry exclamation points. (What? No CAPS?

Canoe.ca managed to capture the tweets, which are no longer visible on Karlsson’s account:

I hate BELL.! Paying way to much for way to little. I thought it was 2013 not 1999.!! Omg figure something out please.

— Erik Karlsson (@ErikKarlsson65) October 1, 2013

Bad service is one thing, but bad customer service? That’s another!

Perfect!!! sat on the phone for 2 hours trying to figure out why my internet is not working and the supervisor hangs up the phone. Classy

— Erik Karlsson (@ErikKarlsson65) October 1, 2013

After noting the perhaps Karlsons’ troubles could be related to the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs are owned by Bell, the Globe’s James Mirtle offered his opinion:

It turns out, it’s not just the cost, although what Bell is charging is ridiculously high. It’s also the quality of his service. In a later tweet, Karlsson wrote:

I’m happy to pay for whatever as long as it’s working. But why pay when things never work, as I said its 2013. Figure it out!

— Erik Karlsson (@ErikKarlsson65) October 1, 2013

Isn’t it refreshing to hear that even players in the NHL are having the same real world problems we are? Of course Erik Karlsson could avoid all that if instead he chose to go with an Internet Service Provider who actually cares about their customers.

Even those who only make $6.5-million/year.
