Ottawa Home Internet Plans: Speeds, Availability, and What to Compare

Ottawa households use the internet for everything from remote work and school to streaming and gaming. The “best” plan depends on two things: availability at your address and how your household uses the internet. This page explains what to compare, then lists Ottawa plan options below.

Step 1: Confirm Service Availability at Your Address

Internet availability in Ottawa is address-specific. Some homes are wired for coax/cable service, while others may have fibre-to-the-home (FTTH/FTTP) infrastructure where certain cable plans may not apply. If you want to confirm before ordering, use the Contact page and we can check your exact address in our system and reply (typically within 24 hours). There is no charge for an availability check.

Note: We also offer a different set of plans in Gatineau.

Step 2: Compare More Than Just Download Speed

When comparing Ottawa internet plans, don’t look only at the headline download speed. Depending on your usage, these can matter just as much:

• Upload speed (important for video calls, cloud backups, remote work)
• Latency (important for gaming and live video calls)
• Unlimited usage (helps keep monthly costs predictable)
• Total cost including any install/activation fees
• In-home Wi-Fi setup (router placement and quality can make or break the experience)

Which Speed Tier Is Right for Ottawa Homes?

• 100 Mbps: good for browsing, HD streaming, and smaller households.
• 300–500 Mbps: better for busy households, multiple streams, and frequent video calls.
• 1 Gbps: helpful for many devices, heavy streaming, and large downloads.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ottawa Internet

Do these plans work everywhere in Ottawa?

Availability can vary by address. Some properties may be wired differently (for example, fibre-to-the-home). If you want certainty before ordering, use the Contact page to request an address check.

What’s the difference between “Transfer” and “New Activation”?

A transfer generally applies when switching from another compatible cable internet provider at the same address. A new activation may apply when service is not currently active or a transfer is not possible.

Is unlimited data important?

For many households, yes. Streaming, gaming, software updates, and remote work can add up quickly. Unlimited usage helps keep your monthly cost predictable.

How can I improve Wi-Fi performance at home?

Router placement matters. A central location, away from thick walls and interference, often improves coverage. For larger homes, a mesh Wi-Fi system can help.

Do you offer TV bundles?
