Internet Providers in Brampton, ON

Despite the cost of its home internet plans, there are plenty of good reasons to choose Bell. After all, as one of Canada’s largest ISPs, its infrastructure is well-established and has good reach. 

In areas where it is able to offer pure fibre connections, Bell’s Gigabit Fibe 3.0 at $140 per month is likely to be the fastest connection you’re able to get. 

For example, Beanfield offers faster pure fibre for less, but it’s only available in a handful of buildings. Bell, on the other hand, serves a far more extensive area. 

For most people seeking fast internet, we recommend choosing Bell’s Gigabit Fibe 1.5.  Its download speeds of 1,500 Mbps and upload speeds of 940 Mbps cost $130 monthly. Extra WiFi pods are hired out at $5 per pod per month. 

However, once we step down to 1,500 Mbps (1.5 Gbps) and lower, Bell faces competition from lower-priced providers, especially if you don’t need to upload large files.

The benefits of choosing Oxio are primarily cost and service-related. The company has excellent reach in Brampton, so most households will qualify for its Internet 1000 plan at $85 per month. 

Oxio is renowned for its transparency in pricing and its website states that it only begins to make a profit once you’ve been subscribed for more than two years. 

Since they don’t lock you into a contract, customer retention matters to Oxio, and this is reflected in the company’s excellent reputation for customer service. 

The downside of choosing Oxio is that its broadband technology relies on cable. In practical terms that means prioritisation of download speeds. Upload speeds are much slower. 

However, this might not be an issue for you unless you need to upload large files on a regular basis.

Teksavvy is Canada’s largest independent ISP, but it appears that the company is facing headwinds, prompting fears that it may have to sell out. For the time being, however, it maintains its foothold as a competitive ISP. 

TekSavvy’s pricing is the top advantage it offers. For example, its 1 Gbps package costs just $68.95 per month. A more modest 30 Mbps plan is priced at $29.95 monthly. 

TekSavvy’s customer service receives mixed reviews. Most critics concede that part of the problem is TekSavvy’s position as a reseller. This means that in Ontario, it relies on Bell’s infrastructure. 

This doesn’t include fibre. TekSavvy provides cable or DSL connections. However, the company remains a viable alternative home internet provider in Brampton.

VMedia provides cable-based internet plans in Brampton. Like Oxio, the company is transparent about its pricing and has a good customer service track record. 

For a fast connection, you can opt for its Internet 1024 plan which offers 1024 Mbps download speeds and 50 Mbps upload speeds at $89,95 monthly. Alternatively, VMedia’s Internet 100 plan at $44.95 (100 Mbps download speeds) could match your usage needs. 

If you choose to bundle internet and TV, through VMedia, a once-off $50 credit is offered. However, although a modem is provided, you must provide your own WiFi router.

Rogers offers “fibre powered” internet in Brampton. However, this is not always the same as pure fibre as can be seen from the asymmetrical download and upload speeds. 

In this regard, it’s not as good as Bell, but if you are willing to sign up for a 2-year contract, you have the advantage of fixed pricing for that period. This contrasts with Bell’s policy which states that pricing can change without notice. 

However, this may come with a caveat since many users appear to be dissatisfied with Rogers’s reliability and customer service. 

Plans to look out for include its Ignite Internet 1.5 Gigabit plan (1,500 Mbps downloads and 150 Mbps uploads) priced at $199.99 with a 2-year contract. 

A plan offering full fibre to the home (FTTH) and symmetrical 150 Mbps download and upload speeds has a price tag of $79.99 per month provided you sign up for 24 months.
