Best Internet Providers in Ontario 2026

Internet Providers Available in Ontario

Ontario has the most competitive internet market in Canada, with both major carriers and independent resellers competing for customers. Available providers include Oxio, TekSavvy, Bell, Rogers, Cogeco, and several smaller regional ISPs.

Best Ontario ISP Overall: Oxio

Oxio earns the top spot in Ontario for its flat-rate pricing, unlimited data, and included modem. With no contracts and plans starting at $46/month, it's the best value for most Ontario households. Coverage spans most of the Bell Fibe footprint — including Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, and surrounding areas.

Best for Rural Ontario: Bell or TekSavvy DSL

For rural Ontario communities not yet served by fibre or cable, Bell and TekSavvy's DSL services provide coverage via the copper telephone network. While slower than cable or fibre, DSL is often the only option in smaller communities.

Best for Eastern Ontario Communities: Cogeco

Cogeco serves communities like Kingston, Peterborough, and parts of the Hamilton-Burlington area. Their cable-based internet is solid and their local customer service is well-regarded.

How to Check What's Available at Your Address

The CRTC maintains a broadband availability map at crtc.gc.ca. Individual ISP websites also have address checkers. We recommend checking Oxio and TekSavvy first before defaulting to Bell or Rogers.
