Home Internet in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Internet Providers, Availability by Address, and DSL Options
Important update: We no longer offer a cable internet plan in Halifax / Nova Scotia.
In Halifax, our service is currently limited to DSL in locations where the home can be reached by Bell Aliant-capable DSL phone lines. The DSL option we can provide is a basic DSL 7 plan (speed and availability vary by address).
To confirm whether your address qualifies, please use the Contact form and include your address. We usually reply within 24 hours.
What Internet Options Exist in Halifax?
Halifax residents may see multiple technologies advertised: fibre-to-the-home, cable internet, fixed wireless, DSL, and sometimes satellite. The key point is that availability depends on your exact address (sometimes even within the same neighborhood).
If fibre or cable is available where you live, those options typically deliver the best performance for streaming, gaming, and households with lots of devices. In areas where those services are not available (or where a low-cost backup line is useful), DSL can still be a workable option for light browsing, email, and basic streaming.
What We Currently Offer in Halifax
- DSL 7 (where supported by Bell Aliant-capable DSL phone lines)
- No cable plans in Halifax / Nova Scotia at this time
- No bundles (internet only)
- Availability is address-based (contact us to confirm)
How to Compare Halifax Internet Providers
When comparing providers and plans, these are the practical things that usually matter most:
- Availability at your address (the #1 filter)
- Reliability (uptime, local congestion, and service quality)
- Speed needs (work-from-home, gaming, streaming, number of devices)
- Total monthly cost (including equipment and any fees)
- Contract terms (month-to-month vs. term contracts)
How Much Internet Speed Do You Need?
- Light use (1–2 people): browsing, email, some streaming
- Moderate use: HD streaming, video calls, multiple devices
- Heavy use: lots of devices, 4K streaming, gaming, large downloads
If you tell us what you do online (streaming, gaming, video calls, number of devices), we can help you think through what makes sense for your situation after we confirm availability.
