Best Internet Providers in Vernon, BC

Oxio is our top pick in Vernon thanks to its fair pricing, simple setup, and transparent model. Their 100 Mbps plan for $57 per month includes unlimited data, no contracts, and a high-quality eero 6 mesh router at no extra cost.

They operate on Rogers network through the TPIA system, which gives you the same physical infrastructure but with friendlier Canadian-based support. 

Prices stay locked in and there are no surprise fees. If you want a no-nonsense internet experience, this is it.

TELUS owns and operates its own fibre-to-the-home network across BC, including many areas of Vernon. Their speeds go up to 1.5 Gbps and are often faster and more stable than cable, especially for upload speeds.

The listed prices can be high, but if you call in, it’s often possible to negotiate a better monthly rate, especially if you are willing to sign a two-year term or bundle with mobile or Optik TV. 

That said, customer service is hit or miss, and the sign-up process can sometimes be more complicated than with smaller providers.

TekSavvy is a well-known TPIA provider that also uses Rogers network in Vernon. They have been around for years and are known for decent prices and simple, contract-free plans. 

You can often get better value than going directly with the big telecoms, though the hardware (modem and router) is not as modern as what Oxio includes.

Speeds range from 30 Mbps to 1000 Mbps depending on your location, and they offer unlimited data on all plans. It’s a solid choice if you want to save money and don’t mind doing a bit more setup yourself.

LightSpeed is a BC-based ISP out of Burnaby and one of the more under-the-radar options in Vernon. They offer both cable and fibre plans depending on availability at your address.

Their Home Fibre 1000 plan gives you symmetrical 1000 Mbps upload and download speeds for $93.95 per month. If fibre is not available, their Cable 75 Mbps plan starts at just $39.95. 

No contracts, good customer support, and consistently positive reviews make them one of the best-kept secrets in the province.

Rogers is one of Canada’s largest internet providers and now has even more reach in BC after acquiring Shaw. 

In Vernon, Rogers primarily delivers cable internet, but they are slowly rolling out fibre upgrades in some areas. For now, though, fibre is mostly limited to larger cities and not yet common in smaller communities.

They are a decent option for bundling if you also need TV or mobile service, but expect higher prices unless you call in to negotiate. Their customer service reputation is mixed and you may need to sign a term contract to get their best rates.
