Worldline had it’s best year ever in 2014, and already in 2015, just over two weeks in, we’re on pace for our best month ever.

Why?

Because of the people who work here. It’s that simple. Our team of telecom professionals work together everyday with the common goal of providing the best service possible at the fairest prices in the country.

It’s a pretty simple formula really. Work hard to make customers happy and the rewards come in increased business, and, an increase in the workforce.

That’s why we’re posting five positions just this week. We’re growing, and fast and we’re looking for talented dedicated people who can help us keep up with the demand.

If you are looking to join a fast-growing tech innovator that embraces the idea that a fantastic workplace culture is what makes a company great, we have some spots that you might be able to fill:

Chances are, not too much. Unless you are into illegal downloading of copyrighted material from torrent sites that is, then you should be paying attention.

The Copyright Modernization Act took effect January 1 of this year and it requires Internet service providers, like Worldline, to send notifications to downloaders whose IP addresses have been identified by copyright holders for perceived violations. The legislation limits the amount a non-commercial downloader can be sued for to $5,000 per case, while damages for commercial infringements can be charged up to $20,000.

Now, that sounds pretty serious, and it is. However there are a number of caveats to the act that are preventing an outright panic in the torrenting crowd.

Here’s an excellent review of what it means from Canada’s e-law expert Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa that was posted on the Huffington Post.

Torrenting is a problem – even if you don’t do it

While Worldline doesn’t ban torrenting, we do have a Fair Share Policy that strives to provide our customers with a better Internet experience for everyone. Torrenting is a major bandwidth sucker and if we allowed unrestricted torrenting during peak usage hours, other, non-torrenting customers would not have as good an Internet experience. That’s why between the hours of 4:30pm and 2:00am, we, when necessary manage our network to limit torrenting taking up too much of our bandwidth.

Due to this policy, non-torrenting customers will experience improved performance with ‘Real-Time’ Browser Applications, Email Applications, Instant Messaging (IM), Online Gaming, Internet Radio, Streaming Video from Youtube, Netflix etc., as well, ‘client-server’ download services like iTunes, Mac Software Updates and Microsoft Windows Updates to name a few.

Worldline is working hard to provide a better Internet experience for all Canadians. Fair Share dynamically modifies policies to balance available bandwidth and resources so valued customers get better Internet service – at all times.

And, if you insist on torrenting, between 2am and 4:30pm, knock yourself out. But be prepared to receive notifications letting you know that we, and others, know what you’ve been up to.

At Worldline we’re all about saving our customers as much money as possible. Anyone who switches from one of the Big Three to us for their Internet and Home Phone services automatically saves at least $600.00/year, and that’s not even including the data caps they all love so much.

We love saving Canadians money and that is why we have a dedicated Twitter feed just for money saving tips. We’re always on the lookout for cool information that will help our customers save even more of their money.

The Motely Fool is a US based  investment advice service and below is an annotated list of their top tips to make 2015 a great year to save some money:

Have an emergency fund. This doesn’t appear to be a money-saving tip, but it is. An emergency fund (three to six months’ worth of living expenses not locked in to any long term savings plan) allows you to deal with any disaster that might happen, that would otherwise force you to take devastating financial actions such as cashing in an RRSP or jacking up your credit card.

Pay off debt. They talk about high-interest credit cards being the #1 cash flow killter. Owing $10,000 and being charged 30% (which isn’t unusual) can cost you $3,000 annually and can have you spiraling deeper into debt.

They also talk about the importance of rewards cards, asking your credit card company for a better rate, and even something as simple are quitting your gym if you’re not using it.

Read the whole thing on the Motley Fool website. It’s all good stuff.
