About Us
Making Internet Easy Since 1996
Storm Internet Services is not your regular internet company. We have a strong commitment to each and every one of our customers, a local call center, and professionally trained technicians. Learn more about us below!
Our Core Values
No on-going contracts or needless penalties
We insist on earning your loyalty every day. Our no-commitment packages will always be available to our customers. Contracts are used to pass on savings in return for loyalty commitments up front, but never mandatory.
Local Service and Support
Our support calls are handled by local Storm employees, not outsourced to an overseas call center. We think it is important to use common sense when dealing with a support call, not a hierarchical question list.
Service Commitment
Our technicians work day-in-day-out to give all of our customers a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Our technicians are professionally qualified and trained, and they use state-of-the-art technology to ensure your connection is never lost and all of your inquiries are addressed.
Local Ownership
Storm opened its doors in Ottawa in June 1996 and was originally founded by four local businessmen, including Herb Hartwig, who remains with the company. Early on ownership changed and, in 2003, Storm was purchased by two local businessmen, Charles Walther and Birket Foster. In April 2020, choosing to retire, Charles Walther sold his interest in Storm to Birket Foster. Mr. Foster takes on the role of Chairman and CEO (Chief Enablement Officer) where he will continue helping Storm grow its commercial and residential lines of business.
Commitment to Community
We strive to give back to the communities we serve. Everyone is better off when we work together. If there is an event you think we should be a part of, get in touch with us! We are always open to new opportunities.
