Year-round promotions and they consistently provide great offers. GO FOR IT.”

“I’ve been using Novus for more than two years, and the price and quality are the best in Vancouver. Not to mention the excellent customer service, which usually takes a few minutes and always solves my problem right away. I recommend it to all my friends, and I hope more companies like that come to Vancouver.”

“Novus is amazing! First of all, they have great prices. But their service is fantastic as well. My internet stopped working today. When I called in, the agent was extremely patient with me and tried different solutions, but unfortunately, it just didn’t work. She was able to get the technician to fit me in today (on a weekend) just 2 hours later, and he fixed the problem right away. He didn’t even have to come into my unit. Thank you!”
