Internet Providers in Vancouver, BC

Novus is the largest independent service provider in Metro Vancouver. Novus uses Fiber Optics internet technology to deliver reliable and lightning-fast speeds.

All internet plans offered by Novus come with symmetrical speeds and unlimited data, making them perfect for productive individuals working from home, as well as for streamers and gamers.

The best internet plan is the Internet 1000 which offers 1000 Mbps download and upload speeds for only $50/month.

If you want even faster speeds, Novus Internet 2500 for $95/month is a great choice.

Additionally, you get free installation. Plus, you receive a WiFi 6 router rental-free for two years.

From my personal experience, Novus customer service is top-notch, and you can use their live chat to talk to an experienced technician if you encounter any technical issues.

You can also rent a mesh satellite from Novus for $5/month if you want to extend your WiFi coverage without losing internet speed.

The only downside of Novus is its availability, limited to selected buildings across Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Richmond, Surrey, and West Vancouver.

Oxio delivers a straightforward internet service that is 100% focused on clients and their needs.

They use cable networks to deliver their internet services to most parts of Vancouver. Oxio offers many budget-friendly plans that start at $40/month for a 25Mbps download speed.

Selected locations can enjoy plans as fast as 1000 Mbps for $90/month. Oxio is very transparent with its pricing, showing where your money goes.

They break it down into network cost, logistics, hardware, marketing, payroll, and profit. They offer free Eero 6 routers, free installation, and no term contracts, giving you a lot of flexibility.

The biggest con of Oxio is its broadband technology. Oxio still relies on coaxial cables to deliver internet to your home, while most competitors offer Fiber internet with symmetrical speeds.

Telus has the best broadband coverage in Vancouver, and it offers the fastest internet technology with its 100% fiber network.

Telus offers the fastest home internet plan that is available to Vancouver residents in selected buildings.

The PureFibre Internet X 3G plan has symmetrical speeds of 3000 Mbps, no data caps, and is available for $130/month if you sign a 2-year contract.

The most popular internet plan is the PureFibre Internet Gigabit, which offers 1000 Mbps download and upload speeds for $110/month (2-Year plan) or $125/month (month-to-month).

The WiFi router is included in your monthly fee. You can self-install the Telus internet as the equipment can be shipped to your door or pay a fee for professional installation by an expert technician.

Some newer apartment buildings have the Telus router pre-installed, so all you need to do is give them a call to activate the internet for you.

The biggest downside of Telus, in our opinion, is the pricing, which is a bit expensive.

Additionally, their customer service is not always as good as its competitors’ support.

TechSavvy offers many value-heavy home internet plans with unlimited data and no contracts.

They use coaxial cables and DSL technology to deliver the internet to your home. They currently offer the cheapest internet plan available to Vancouver residents.

The 30 Mbps Unlimited plan only costs $29.95/month, making it a great value option for budget-conscious families.

On the other side of the spectrum is their 1 Gbps UNLIMITED internet plan that offers 1000 Mbps download speed and 100 Mbps upload speed for $74.95/month.

We like the fact that TechSavvy offers over 12 different home internet plans at consumer-friendly prices, ensuring accessibility for everyone.

However, they don’t currently use Fiber technology and only rely on older cable and DSL broadband connections.

Rogers delivers high-speed, reliable, and unlimited internet using a fiber network.

After acquiring Shaw in April 2023, Rogers has expanded its footprint in Western Canada, bringing more competition and lowering home internet prices in the region.

The fastest plan currently available to Vancouver households is the Internet 1.5 Gigabit, which is capable of 1500 Mbps download speed and 150 Mbps upload speed. Priced at $110/month if you sign up for a 2-year contract.

Rogers also offers lower priced plans such as Ignite Internet 75 for $60/month (2-Year plan) that delivers 75 Mbps download and upload speed.

You can also rent their Ignite WiFi Pod (Gen 2) for $10/month if you want to extend your WiFi coverage.

What we don’t like is the fact that to get access to their competitive pricing, you need to sign a 2-year contract.
