Our Eastlink Review
Eastlink is the dominant internet provider across Atlantic Canada — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland — where it competes directly with Bell and Rogers but holds a home-field advantage through stronger local relationships and more competitive pricing. All Eastlink plans include eero 7 whole-home Wi-Fi mesh networking at no extra charge, saving the $10–15/mo equipment rental fee that Bell and Rogers typically add. At a promotional $85/mo for 350 Mbps, Eastlink undercuts Bell Fibe's equivalent Atlantic Canada tier. The trade-off is plan selection (only two speed tiers) and the regular rate after the promotional period ($118–123/mo), which is steep. For Atlantic Canada households wanting reliable cable internet with whole-home Wi-Fi from day one, Eastlink is typically the best deal — especially in the first year.

Eastlink Coverage — Where It Actually Operates
Eastlink is primarily an Atlantic Canada provider with a growing presence in Ontario and Alberta. Core coverage: Nova Scotia (Halifax, Dartmouth, Truro, Sydney), New Brunswick (Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton), Prince Edward Island (Charlottetown, Summerside), and Newfoundland and Labrador (St. John's and surrounding communities). Ontario: select smaller markets. Alberta: Grande Prairie, Red Deer, and Lethbridge — cities where Eastlink expanded as a direct challenger to Telus. Eastlink does not operate in BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, or Quebec. Use the postal code lookup to confirm availability at your specific address.
Eastlink Internet Plans by Province — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland
Eastlink is the incumbent cable provider across all four Atlantic provinces, but the competitive picture differs slightly by region. Nova Scotia: full cable coverage in Halifax, Dartmouth, Truro, and Sydney, competing directly with Bell Fibe DSL and fibre. New Brunswick: Moncton, Saint John, and Fredericton are all fully served, with Bell as the main fibre alternative. Prince Edward Island: Charlottetown and Summerside — Eastlink is the dominant cable option, with Bell offering DSL and limited fibre in the larger centre. Newfoundland and Labrador: St. John's and the surrounding metro area have full Eastlink cable coverage; Bell's presence in Newfoundland is comparatively thin, which is a large part of why Eastlink holds such a strong position on the island specifically. Across all four provinces, Eastlink's Gig Internet tier is available in the named cities above; smaller towns nearby typically get the Internet 350 tier only. Use the postal code lookup to confirm which tier reaches your specific address.
Eastlink's Real First-Year Cost — Promo Price, Regular Rate, and What the Free Wi-Fi Is Worth
On the Internet 350 plan, the promotional $85/mo runs for the first 12 months — a $1,020 first-year total. After that, the rate jumps to $118/mo ($1,416/year), a $33/mo increase with no price-lock protection, so budget for it or call retention before renewal. Where Eastlink genuinely saves money regardless of the promo/regular gap is equipment: the eero 7 whole-home Wi-Fi system is included at no extra charge, where Bell and Rogers typically charge $10–15/mo for a modem/router — that's $120–180/year Eastlink customers never pay, on top of whatever the plan itself costs. There is no separate installation fee disclosed for standard cable hookups in existing Eastlink service areas; confirm at signup if a technician visit applies to your specific address.
Eastlink vs Telus in Atlantic Canada and Alberta
In Atlantic Canada, Eastlink and Bell are the primary competitors — Telus does not operate there. Eastlink wins on equipment (eero 7 Wi-Fi included vs Bell's $15/mo ONT rental) and competitive promo pricing. In Alberta — particularly Grande Prairie — Eastlink competes directly against Telus PureFibre. The key difference: Telus PureFibre delivers true symmetrical speeds (equal upload and download), while Eastlink's cable plans cap upload at 10–15 Mbps even on the gigabit tier. For households that need upload speed — remote work, video conferencing, large cloud backups — Telus PureFibre has a significant technical advantage. For download-heavy households focused on streaming and price, Eastlink's promo pricing is competitive during the first year.
Eastlink — Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does Eastlink serve?
Eastlink primarily serves Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador, where it is the dominant cable provider. Eastlink is also expanding into select Ontario and Alberta markets. Use our postal code lookup to confirm availability at your specific address.
Is Eastlink cheaper than Bell in Atlantic Canada?
During the promotional period, yes — Eastlink's promo rates ($85–90/mo) typically undercut Bell Fibe on comparable speed tiers in Atlantic Canada. Check the regular rate carefully: after the promotion ends, Eastlink rates rise to $118–123/mo, which erases much of the initial savings.
Does Eastlink include a free modem?
Eastlink includes eero 7 whole-home Wi-Fi mesh networking with all internet plans at no extra charge. This is worth $10–15/mo compared to Bell and Rogers, which charge equipment rental fees on top of the advertised plan price.
Is Eastlink cable or fibre?
Eastlink offers both cable and growing fibre infrastructure in Atlantic Canada. Most current plans run on cable (DOCSIS) technology. Fibre availability is expanding in select communities. Use our postal code tool to see which technology is confirmed at your address.
Does Eastlink have data caps?
No. Eastlink includes unlimited data on all internet plans. There are no data caps, overage charges, or throttling based on usage.
Is Eastlink available in Grande Prairie?
Yes. Eastlink serves Grande Prairie, Alberta, as part of its western Canada expansion into select Alberta cities. Coverage also extends to Red Deer and Lethbridge in Alberta. Use our postal code lookup to confirm availability at your specific Grande Prairie address — Eastlink's Alberta footprint is more limited than its Atlantic Canada presence and not every neighbourhood in these cities is covered.
How fast is Eastlink internet?
Eastlink currently offers two speed tiers: Internet 350 (350 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload) and Gig Internet (940 Mbps download / 15 Mbps upload). Both run on Eastlink's cable network, so upload speeds are a fraction of download — typical for cable versus fibre. For most households streaming, browsing, and video calling, 350 Mbps is more than enough; the Gig tier mainly benefits large households with many simultaneous 4K streams or big file downloads.
What does Eastlink cost after the promo ends?
Eastlink's promotional rates ($85/mo for Internet 350, $90/mo for Gig Internet) apply for a limited period, after which the regular rate applies: $118/mo and $123/mo respectively — a $33/mo increase either way. Unlike Fizz or Oxio in Quebec, Eastlink does not offer a price-lock guarantee, so budget for the higher rate at renewal or call to negotiate before it kicks in.
