Our Mission
Stackup.ca helps Canadians make informed decisions about connectivity and technology. We publish clear, practical, and unbiased information that prioritizes reader value over commercial interests.Editorial Independence
- Editors and writers maintain full control over story selection, analysis, and conclusions.
- Advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners do not review, approve, or influence editorial content.
- Any content with material support (e.g., sponsored posts) is clearly labeled as such.
Accuracy, Sourcing & Fact-Checking
- We verify claims using primary sources whenever possible (official releases, regulatory filings, technical documentation, and direct interviews).
- Statistics, prices, and availability are time-sensitive; we include context and timing when relevant.
- When we cite third-party research, we attribute it and link to the original source where feasible.
Review Methodology
- Our evaluations combine hands-on testing (where available), feature-by-feature analysis, and long-term usability checks.
- We score and compare based on consistent criteria: value, performance, reliability, coverage, features, customer support, and transparency.
- Loaner devices or trial accounts do not guarantee coverage or a positive rating; they are disclosed when applicable.
Corrections & Updates
- We correct factual errors promptly and note substantial changes in the article or at the bottom of the page.
- Minor updates (e.g., pricing refreshes, plan names) may be made without a formal correction note but with the page’s update timestamp adjusted.
