Xplornet plans at the time was $100 for 10MB and 1MB upload with 100GB limit. Lastly I considered Satellite internet and Satellite dish service, this has been around for awhile but the speeds are limited. No collusion in the Canadian cellular pricing happening here, just 3 providers ALL pricing their plans exactly the same… I chose Bell Mobility’s $75/20GB plan and found an unlocked LTE hub on Facebook marketplace to use as my device. I tried calling Bell and Rogers again to see how their plans compared and amazingly they both had the EXACT same plans. At home we use around 150-250GB per month so I wasn’t too excited about paying several hundred dollars for the same sort of data. When talking to Telus support they suggested I could get a Cellular LTE plan for $75 that allows 20GB at month or $115 for 50GB a month. The plans looked great in terms of speeds and data allowance but unfortunately are only available in Alberta and BC despite no region limits on the website. Now looking for greater speed we found the Telus Rural Internet plans. Finally some success but 5MB was pretty slow…

Xplornet indicated they might have 5mb/1mb access and could install Satellite if the Fixed LTE failed. Cottage Country Internet had an online form and promptly responded they had no coverage either. Next we tried Rural Wave, which is has much better service map on it’s own site showing no access for us. Bell Home Internet and Bell mobility kept pointing at each as to why install wasn’t possible. Bell failed us again though and insisted they couldn’t install access. Bell again looked like a likely candidate as one of our neighbours had it 400m down the road. This is the same technology that cell phones use but on a different band and you can’t move the receiver once setup on a tower outside. Next we started looking at Fixed LTE Wireless. Several attempts to escalate and request a Bell technical investigation failed. Unfortunately after spending weeks calling Bell and trying to order the service they kept insisting it wasn’t available, even though our neighbours have it. Of these the Bell DSL with a history of service in the northern parts of Canada seemed like the easy choice, our neighbours had it on either side of us on the road and the previous owners had service in the past. Service options, according to CRTC, included:įixed LTE Wireless ( Rural Wave, Cottage Country Internet, Xplornet, Bell Fixed Wireless )Ĭellular LTE ( Telus, Rogers and Bell all list LTE support ) One of our goals was to be able to work at the cottage so getting internet access and high speed internet was KEY! Initially it looked like several options were available on the CRTC’s Internet Service Availability Map. We’d been looking on the lake for a while and we were excited to close on a cottage. Earlier in year ( right when COVID was happening ) we purchased a cottage on Lake Koshlong.
