Data Caps Mess with Both Netflix & Online Gaming

It’s the typical Canadian story. An average family guy with two gaming kids and and a Netflix addiction discovers just how nasty Internet data caps can be. But this isn’t just happening in a cartoon. It’s real life.

A perfect example of this is a case study we did on a fella named Rick and his son Max. By switching to Worldline Unlimited Internet, Rick saved himself $2544 a year.

DSLThat is, as we say, real money.

The Big Three believe they have a captive market when it comes to providing Internet service, but as time goes by, more and more Canadians are discovering that they have an option, they can switch, and switching is easy.

Especially when saving thousands of dollars a year is the end result.

Worldline’s Mike Brown’s Very Close Shave For Breast Cancer

Mike Brown – one of our co-founders – was blown away by how well Worldline sales were going in August, and stated, out loud, that if we passed a certain number, basically 2/12 times our average sales number, he’d shave his head….

We had a draw for the privilege of taking him “down to the wood” as they say in barber terms, and Mike raised $555 for Breast Cancer research.

Looking…. good.

Fibernetics Ventures Leads Worldline Innovation

PLasticity_Group

Fibernetics, Worldline’s parent company is one of the largest telecoms in the country, and its rise has both been rapid and dynamic. The reason for Fibernetics success is the ownership and management have maintained their start-up attitude that got them all going in the first place. That entrepreneurial spirit has now been formalized into a new division of the company, Fibernetics Venture Incorporated, or FVI.

An inhouse incubator for new businesses and start-ups, FVI will utilize Fibernetics talent and resources to bring promising business concepts to market much faster than they could on their own. It is also designed to expand and diversify Fibernetics Corporation’s footprint in technology-based communications.

“To all our super teammates at Fibernetics and Fibernetics Ventures, I would like to thank all of you for your dedication and hard work. I hope this is as exciting for all of you as it is for management and me.” – CEO Jody Schnarr

First up to the FVI plate: Plasticity Labs, a company that uses data analytics to measure workplace morale, announced that it has raised $2.1 million led by Fibernetics Ventures.

Fibernetics president John Stix is a champion for improving and developing workplace culture. His “I’m in!” culture initiative is changing how Fibernetics operates as a company, and having Plasticity as a tool s helping him with his mission.

From Techcrunch:

The startup’s name derives from neuroplasticity, which refers to changes in the our brains over time due to factors like our behavior and thinking.

“On a macro level, the key psychological drivers of performance are relatively similar for many individuals and organizations,” said co-founder and CMO Jennifer Moss.

“By watching and measuring these traits closely over time, we identify the patterns of sentiment that are both correlated and causal to the performance of organizations (sales, net promoter score, productivity, sick days, truancy). We learn the nuances specific to industry verticals, demographics, or market segments, and then tune predictions accordingly, it is very much like stock analytics that investors use to backwards model and de-risk financial investments.”

Then Plasticity takes data models and uses them to develop training programs that “reinforce the psychological traits most common of happy, high performing individuals.”

Plasticity is a perfect fit for Fibernetics as we are striving to be the most customer centric Telco in the country. Plasticity helps Worldline’s customer service team be even more happy on the job, and in turn increase their engagement. The result is a better customer experience which is what makes Worldline different. We’re on a mission to provide the best Telecom experience in Canada .

Congratulation to Plastiticy on their exciting announcement, and thanks for helping us become all we can be.

Ordering Worldline just got WAY easier

Screen Shot 2014-08-27 at 3.24.44 PMWe here at Worldline are on a mission. We are changing the way telecom works in this country by focusing laser-like on improving how things work for our customers. It all comes from our “I’m in!” culture that engages everyone at Worldline to work daily on improving our processes, to provide the best service possible at the fairest prices and to give our customers the most awesome support they’ve ever had, by anyone anywhere.

A huge improvement to one of our most important processes changed just this week when we introduced our new and improved online ordering system. For years we’ve been trying to improve the way our customers sign up for Worldline, and finally, we nailed it with the simplest online ordering process in Canadian telecom.

Using a easy-to-use web interface (see above) Canadians looking to save hundreds of dollars a year on their Internet and phone bills can find out what services they qualify for in seconds, pick and choose what will work best for them, and then, place their order. Three pages in total, the automated process allows for consumers to make simple educated purchasing decision without the need to spend their valuable time on the phone. (Of course, if they have any questions, a simple click gets them to a service support team member.) 

This is a quantum leap forward for new Worldline customers. While we have the best customer support and sales team in the country, we know that a growing segment of the population prefer to make their purchase online instead of over the phone.

We’re all about making our customer’s lives as simple as possible. Now, from day one, we’re doing just that with a simple elegant ordering system.

Check out our latest innovation at www.worldline.ca, and stay tuned for more innovations to come as we continue on our mission to be the most customer-centric telecom there is.

How do we do it? By being “in!”
