In Quebec, spring’s arrival marks the beginning of the period of moving. Changing home involves a lot of things to think about. Here are some tips to help you move your TV, Internet and phone services.
1. Check if our services are available at your new address
It is possible that you move to a city that is not served by AXION. Once you know your new address, contact one of our customer service agents to see if our services are available. If this is not the case, the agent will accompany you in the account closing steps on the date that suits you best. You will have to return the equipment and start the process of finding a new telecommunication provider.
2. Choose the date of installation of the services at your new address
One of our technicians will have to go to your new address to connect the services and make the appropriate tests. Since this is a busy period, be sure to make an appointment in advance to have the installation date of your choice, as your presence will be required.
3. Plan a possible phone number change
AXION is subject to certain CRTC regulations regarding telephone exchanges. So if you move to another city, you may have to get a new phone number. The agent who will prepare your move will inform you of the situation. Be sure to record the new number to notify your other suppliers.
4. Bring your equipment with you
The terminals, the Internet modem, the router and the phone modem must follow you to your new address. Unplug them and make sure you have everything on hand the day the technician visits your new home. TVs and computers must also be accessible to validate the operation of the service.
So, do you already know your new address? Contact us at 1.866.552.9466 (option 2).

News and entertainment full screen!
It’s well known, Câble Axion offers the most generous basic TV package! Here is the opportunity to snuggle under a blanket and zap the remote control to catch up on your series or watch these films that you never had the time to enjoy! You also have access to many news channels such as LCN, ICI RDI and CBC News Network, without having to pay them separately in an additional package.
Besides, many broadcasters have chosen to place their channels on free preview, for example, Yoopa to entertain children, Elles Fictions for series fans and Wild Pursuit Network for captivating images of Mother Nature. Considering that the initiative must come from the owner of the channel, rest assured that Câble Axion remains on the lookout for any free preview offer in order to make it available as soon as possible.
You can also take advantage of all the benefits of the Video on Demand, if the service is available at your address.

Each Internet plan comes with a monthly download limit. If the latter is exceeded, excess usage charges apply. We want to avoid you this at all costs! Here are some tips.
A question of balance
First and foremost, make sure you have subscribed to an Internet plan tailored to YOUR needs. A hard-core Fortnite fan will not have the same necessities as a casual Facebook user. So ask yourself the question: what are you doing on the Internet?
Remember, your needs are changing: the family is growing, you buy an additional electronic device, you take out a new subscription to an application like Netflix, etc. It is often during these changes that an imbalance between your plan and your needs is created.
For example, what is called Binge viewing can take you by surprise. When the next season of Stranger Things will arrive, you may want to watch all the episodes over a short period of time and increase your download!
Peace of mind
If the study of your needs reveals that a change is necessary, you can then opt for a more generous Internet package, or even add the Unlimited Download package (we highly recommend it!) which frees you from all constraints. With it, goodbye to questions and hello films, series and games at will!
It should come as no surprise that your needs are changing rapidly. Technology is becoming more and more important on a daily basis and it always requires more performance. Evaluate your Internet usage regularly to make sure you have enough for your usage.
Client space
We can't say it enough on this blog, but the Client space is the perfect tool to assess your Internet download needs. Not only does it allow you to see the monthly limit allowed in your plan, but also the daily evolution of your usage.
How to reach it? Call 1.866.552.9466 (option 2) for a user name and password. Then, go to extranet.axion.ca.
All is left to do is to enjoy your Internet service with complete peace of mind!

Why join?
An automatic payment brings peace of mind for setting accounts. To pay for your telecom bill, only one payment per month is necessary and it’s automation avoids delays while stopping the famous paper bill which is not very ecological!
How to do?
There are two possible ways to establish an automatic payment with Câble Axion :
1. By bank account : You must complete the pre-authorized debit membership form available on our website, attach a sample check and send it by mail to PO Box 1154, La Baie QC, G7B 3P3.
2. By credit card (Visa or Mastercard) : Simply contact our Customer Service by phone to schedule payment.
When will my payment pass?
At Câble Axion, all automated payments are collected on the 6th day of the month. If it is a weekend or a holiday, the deduction will be made the next business day. For example, if the 6th day of the month is a Sunday, the levy will be on Monday, the 7th day.
What about my paper bill?
As long as the amount remains unchanged, you will not receive any paper bill. This is the perfect opportunity to sign up for our Client space to view them online and help Mother Nature!
And if the amount changes?
It can happen that your monthly amount changes after a movie rental, the addition of a package, the end of a promotion, etc. In these situations, we will send you a notice of change in advance by mail or in your Client space.
What if my card expires or reaches its limit?
Câble Axion will not charge fees, but it remains your responsibility to notify us of any changes.
And if the payment in my bank account does not pass?
Câble Axion will charge you administrative fees that will appear on your next telecom bill. Your banking institution may also charge you other fees directly.

At home and at work, the telephone is an essential tool. It provides a sense of proximity and security. Unfortunately, it is also a common instrument for fraudsters. Under very clever disguises, such as psychic agencies and/or bogus contests, they use phishing techniques to get your money, notably through expensive long distance charges.
What can you do to protect yourself?
• List your telephone number on the Government of Canada's National Do Not Call List by going to lnnte-dncl.gc.ca.
• Remember that 1-900 numbers always charge fees to your phone bill. You can add the free 1-900 Call Blocking option by contacting our customer service.
• Don’t claim prizes for contests you didn’t participate in.
• Don’t dial a phone number that you don’t know and that doesn’t come from a trustworthy source. This is often where surprise fees apply.
• In case of abuse, file a complaint with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) by calling 1-866-580-3625 or by going to lnnte-dncl.gc.ca.
• If you suspect you’ve fallen victim to a scam, notify the Canadian Anti-Fraud Center by calling 1-888-495-8501 or by going to www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.
Please note that Câble Axion has no control over unwanted calls.
If long distance charges are incurred, Câble Axion acts as only an intermediary and simply transfers the amount to its subscriber’s bill. Furthermore, there may be a delay of four months between the fraudulent call and the addition of charges on your bill.
In any case, your vigilance will be the most efficient preventative tool!

he National Do Not Call List (DNCL) gives consumers a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls.
In a perfect world, every telemarketer would run an honest business. Unfortunately, your phone number may end up in the wrong hands…
The good news is that you can choose to reduce the number of telemarketing calls you receive by registering your personal telephone number at no charge, including landline, wireless and fax on the National DNCL at lnnte-dncl.gc.ca.
Who can still call you?
• Canadian registered charities;
• Political parties, riding associations and candidates;
• Polling firms;
• Organizations with whom you have an existing business relationship or from whom you have purchased or leased a product over the past months.
Once you register your number, it stays on the DNCL permanently, and there is no need to re-register. Telemarketers must access the National DNCL, at a minimum, every 31 days while making telemarketing calls and remove registered numbers from their calling lists.

Ultra HD format (also called 4K) displays images with 4 times more pixels, and 4 times as clear compared with Full HD (1080p). Please note that certain conditions apply!
Even if 4K TV sets have become very present on the market, the current 4K TV offer is not very widespread. Therefore, these last generation equipment have more HD than 4K content to display.
Câble Axion HD terminals offer a great quality of image and sound. Just remember that to really enjoy your TV experience some wining conditions must be combined: tuning HD channels from a HD terminal connected with a HD cable to a HD TV set. A simple recipe, don’t you agree?
Beware! If you are planning to buy a 60-inch TV set or smaller, Ultra HD is less advisable. With smaller screens, you might not see the difference between HD and 4K unless you are sitting as close as five feet!

Since your original subscription, you added two cell phones, one tablet and an IP TV set: chances are that your Internet access cannot provide your household adequately anymore.
When using several wireless equipment at once, a new device can require more from your home network, and you may need higher Internet capacity to avoid what is known as ‘’local congestion’’.
Handy tips:
• Configure updates to take place overnight.
• Never divulge your password, and make sure that no uninvited guests are using your home network!

Your AXION wireless network is safe A malicious software (or malware) called VPNfilter was recently exposed. But do not fear, your AXION router is safe!
What makes the difference with other routers is the firmware AXION customizes its router with. Our IT team customizes the equipment for our customers ensuring VPNfilter cannot affect them.
For those who do not have a AXION router:
Restart the device to quickly disable malicious software by turning it off, and back on.
Here is the FBI recommendation for greater safety*:
- Disable remote management settings.
- Set a new router password.

Are you, like Mark Zuckerberg, using passwords such as ‘’dadada’’? This could have serious consequences should a hacker target you. Here are a few tips to create safe passwords.
You should use different passwords for each of your online accounts (Facebook, emails, bank, etc.). By doing this, hackers might steal identity on one platform, but won’t have easy access to the others. A reliable PIN must include capital and lower case letters, numbers, as well as special characters.
Such passwords are harder to remember, so here’s a free translation of a very useful and simple tip from techno blogger François Charron: Choose a sentence you can adapt according to the platform you’re on. For instance, ‘’I like’’ plus the name of the site or service ‘’ILike1Staples!’’
Test your passwords at howsecureismypassword.net. It would take a computer over 400 years to crack ILikeStaples! Not bad!

1. Router’s location: a choice that matters! Choose an open and elevated area to ensure better data transfer and avoid interferences. It might not be the highlight of your decor, but you would be ill-advised to hide it.
2. Up-to-date devices: say goodbye to the old computer! With more recent devices, built-in wireless cards are better adapted to adequately support their daily use.
3. Viruses and spyware: stay clear! Set your antivirus to regularly check for those unwanted guests. They’ve multiplied on the web, and it’s up to you to take care of your device’s health.
4. Secured network: safety first! Never divulge your password. Other users can access your wireless network that is why it must be secured.
5. Bandwidth-hogging applications: time to clean up. Some apps use a lot of bandwidth, overloading online navigation. A good optimization and maintenance software will help your clean up.
