Best Internet Providers in Edmonton, AB

Telus delivers faster speeds and better bandwidth to its clients in Edmonton using 100% fibre optic technology.

Their fastest internet plan is the PureFibre X Internet 3G which has a symmetrical download and upload speed of 3000 Mbps. It costs $145 per month or $130 per month for a two-year plan. This plan uses a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) connection which offers higher bandwidth and reduced latency, as the fibre cable connects directly from the network to the customer premises.

Their cheapest plan is the PureFibre Internet 250 which has a symmetrical download and upload speed of 250 Mbps. The plan costs $105 per month or $90 per month for a two-year plan.

You can use the self-install program to install Telus Internet or get it professionally installed at a fee. The monthly charge of the internet plans includes that of the WiFi equipment.

For customer assistance, you can use the 24/7 virtual assistant, community forum, or the Telus App.

Telus Internet is slightly more expensive than other competitors for similar speed offerings, while their fastest plan is not available in all households.  

Big news is coming in 2025! The CRTC recently ruled to expand competitor access to major fibre networks like TELUS. Starting in February, TELUS, Bell, and SaskTel will be required to provide access to their fibre networks for independent providers. In theory, this should increase competition in the market and potentially push the dominant players to lower their fibre internet prices.

However, the biggest question mark remains the wholesale pricing. We’ll have to wait and see how the situation evolves.

We will update our database as soon as other ISPs begin offering fibre plans using TELUS infrastructure.

Oxio uses Rogers’ cable network infrastructure to connect residents in Edmonton to the internet.

Oxio stands out from other ISPs’ because of its transparency with the prices of its internet plans. They show how the money is spent by breaking it down into profit, payroll, network, logistics, hardware, and marketing.

The Internet 100 is a budget-friendly internet plan that costs $57 per month and has a download speed of 100 Mbps and an upload speed of 10 Mbps.

Their fastest internet plan is the Internet 1000 which costs $90 per month and has a download speed of 1000 Mbps and an upload speed of 100 Mbps.

Oxio offers free installation and a free Eero 6 router, and their internet plans have no contracts. You can chat with their support team via Instagram, SMS, Messenger, or email for customer support.

Their biggest downside is their broadband technology. Oxio has yet to adopt fibre optic technology so can’t compete with rivals in terms of pure internet speed.

Lightspeed uses VDSL, cable, and fibre to deliver internet services to its clients in Edmonton. Their internet plans have a flat rate pricing and no contracts.

Their fastest fibre internet plan is the Home Fibre 1000 which costs $150 per month and has a download speed of 1000 Mbps and upload speed of 1000 Mbps.

For fibre plans, a set-up fee of $100 applies. Also, you need to pay a $100 deposit for a WiFi router which will be returned upon cancellation of the service.

Rogers delivers high-speed and reliable internet to residents in Edmonton using its fibre network. In 2023, Rogers acquired Shaw and this enabled it to lower its home internet prices, expand its footprint, and bring more competition.

Our recommended plan by Rogers is the Ignite Internet Gigabit which costs $130 per month or $110 per month for a 2-year plan. This plan has a download speed of 1000 Mbps and an upload speed of 150 Mbps.

Their fastest plan is the Ignite Internet 1.5 Gigabit and it costs $140 per month or $120 per month for a 2-year plan. It has a download speed of 1500 Mbps and an upload speed of 150 Mbps.

You can rent the Ignite WiFi Pod (Gen 2) for $10 per month if you want to increase your WiFi coverage. For customer support, you can message Rogers’s customer team on Whatsapp, iMessage, or chat online.

One downside of Rogers is that to access their plans at an affordable price, you should sign a 2-year contract.

TekSavvy uses DSL technology and coaxial cables to deliver value-heavy internet services to residents in Edmonton. What appeals most about TekSavvy is its pricing as it offers budget-friendly plans.

Also, their internet plans have $0 activation, $0 shipping, $0 hardware loans, and zero contracts. You can easily reach them if you need customer assistance through the live chat feature on their website or call them at 1 877 779 1575.

Their cheapest internet plan is the 30 Mbps Unlimited which costs $29.95 per month and has a download speed of 30 Mbps and an upload speed of 5 Mbps.

Their fastest internet plan is the 1 Gbps Unlimited which costs $74.95 per month and has a download speed of 1000 Mbps and an upload speed of 100 Mbps.

One disadvantage of TekSavvy is that they have not adopted fibre technology to deliver internet services like its competitors.

However, this might change soon due to a recent CRTC ruling that is finally forcing dominant players like TELUS and Bell to provide independent providers like TekSavvy with access to their existing fibre infrastructure.

One caveat is that the ruling applies only to fibre infrastructure built up to now. For any new fibre infrastructure, TELUS and Bell will retain exclusivity for five years.
