Yak Communications

Description

Globalive Communications and its affiliated companies have provided comprehensive communications solutions to Canadian households and businesses for over 20 years. We have two primary consumer brands – WIND Mobile (wireless) and Yak Communications (home phone, long distance, Internet). Our consumer brands have challenged the oligopoly created by big communications companies and work tirelessly to provide Canadians with a fair deal for their communications dollars. Globalive’s business brand, OneConnect , is the leading independent communications company selling to small and medium businesses in Canada. With consolidated revenue in excess of $300 million; numerous industry awards including “Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies” nine years in a row, “Canada’s Fastest Growing Company” in 2004 and “Best Workplaces in Canada” in 2006; and a “get it done” corporate culture; Globalive and its affiliated companies are critical to competition and customer service in the Canadian communications market.

Yak was founded in 1991 and acquired by Globalive Communications in 2006. Yak was one of the first entrants to Canada’s competitive communications market and has always provided Canadian consumers with great services at a fair price. We serve over 1 million Canadian households with a mix of home phone, long distance and internet products. Yak is continuously evolving its product line to expand coverage and bring its transparent, honest broker, no contracts and no hidden fees to more customers. Canadians have been gouged by the “Big Guys” for over 100 years. Yak is working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ungouge Canadians. We are proudly Canadian controlled and part of Globalive Communications.
