About us

We’re working to redefine the Mobile and Internet service industry with people in mind.

Elliot Noss

CEO

We believe in doing things differently and empowering the underdog. We're changing the industry because we’re tired of business as usual too.

Jess Johannson

VP, People

At Ting and Tucows, we’re building and nurturing a culture of unstoppable enthusiasm.

Michael Goldstein

VP, Sales and Marketing

We treat people like the smart, informed customers they are and give them the tools to control how they use our services. We don’t believe in profiting off of confusion.

Helping people

Ting is built on customer service. We empower our teams with the tools and knowledge to help customers, and then we get out of their way so they can do it.

Clarity and honesty

Too often, Mobile and Internet service providers rely on confusion to turn a profit. We don’t. We promote clarity and give people the info they need to make informed decisions.

A free and open Internet

We’re passionate advocates of the principles of net neutrality. We support a free and open Internet in word and deed. Ting will never block, throttle or otherwise interfere with the online access of our customers.
