CIK currently employs more than 500 employees with offices located in Canada, the United States, China, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, and Morocco, as well as local support centres set up in every major city in Canada. CIK has been registered as a licensed carrier with the CRTC (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission) since 2003.
With more than 250,000 customers currently subscribing to CIK’s telecommunications service, CIK’s initiative is to provide innovative, affordable, and reliable telecommunications and multi-media services to Canadian residents. Major products include unlimited high-speed internet, home phone, digital TV, health monitoring systems, and multimedia entertainment.
CIK has been continuously investing in network infrastructure to improve and expand service quality and coverage. CIK’s High-Speed Internet network covers almost everywhere in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. We aim to continuously expand our network and cover more areas across Canada in the near future. CIK’s Home Phone network covers major Canadian cities and surrounding areas with many features, such as Number Portability, allowing customers to transfer their existing home phone numbers in most major Canadian cities and towns. All CIK home phone residential customers enjoy free unlimited calling to all regions in Canada except for Area Code 867 (N.W.T, Nunavut, and Yukon).
Current Services
Unlimited High Speed Internet:
CIK’s High-Speed Cable Internet uses Rogers’/Cogeco’s/Videotron’s/Shaw’s Cable lines to transmit internet signals. Our cable internet service covers Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. On the other hand, our High-Speed DSL/FTTN Internet uses a PSTN phone line (copper loop) to transmit internet signals and covers Ontario and Quebec with internet speeds up to 50Mbps.
CIK Fibre is a generic term for any CIK broadband network architecture using optical fibre, that delivers future technology with optical wires made of fiberglass, which makes it possible to send information/data at the speed of light and is resistant to heat and cold, which assures uninterrupted internet at all times.
As one of the most important technologies in the next generation of internet networks, Fibre optic cables are able to carry much more data than copper cables, especially over long distances; copper telephone networks built in the 20th century are being replaced by fibre.
Home Phone Service:
CIK’s Home Phone service offers customers affordable phone service that includes free local calling to all regions in Canada (except Area code 867) with features such as voicemail, caller name display, call waiting, and call forwarding.
