Internet Providers in Quebec
Quebec has Canada's most competitive urban internet market. Videotron and Bell compete directly in Montreal and Quebec City — and budget sub-brands Fizz, Oxio, and TekSavvy offer the same infrastructure at significantly lower prices, often 30–40% below what the incumbents charge directly.

Is Fibre Internet Available in Quebec?
Fibre internet is available in 100% of Quebec postal areas according to CRTC National Broadband Data. Bell Fibe and Telus PureFibre both operate in Quebec — making Montreal and surrounding suburbs one of the few Canadian regions where two major fibre networks compete directly. This drives better pricing and availability than most other provinces.
Outside urban areas, Videotron cable covers much of suburban Quebec, while rural areas rely on Bell DSL, Xplornet, and Starlink. The CRTC data we use reflects what ISPs actually filed as their coverage — not what they claim in marketing materials.

Quebec Internet — Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best internet providers in Quebec?
In urban Quebec (Montreal, Quebec City, Laval), Videotron cable and Bell Fibe fibre are the primary incumbents. For budget options, Fizz (Videotron's sub-brand) offers 100 Mbps for around $45/month with no contracts, and Oxio offers a guaranteed lifetime price lock. TekSavvy resells Bell infrastructure at lower prices. The cheapest reliable option is typically Fizz or Oxio for households comfortable with app-only support.
Is fibre internet available in Quebec?
Yes — Bell Fibe is available across most of Montreal and surrounding municipalities, as well as Quebec City. Telus PureFibre also operates in parts of Quebec, primarily in the Montreal area. According to CRTC National Broadband Data, fibre coverage varies significantly by neighbourhood — areas near downtown Montreal have near-complete fibre coverage, while some outer suburbs still rely on cable or DSL.
Is Videotron available everywhere in Quebec?
Videotron is primarily a cable provider serving urban and suburban Quebec — Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, and major surrounding communities. Videotron is not available in rural Quebec or in areas outside its cable footprint. Enter your postal code to see if Videotron or its sub-brand Fizz is confirmed at your address according to CRTC filings.
What is the cheapest internet in Quebec?
Fizz Internet 100 ($45/month, 100 Mbps, no contract) is typically the cheapest reliable option in urban Quebec where Videotron cable is available. Oxio offers comparable pricing with a price-lock guarantee. TekSavvy is another budget option on Bell or Rogers infrastructure. All three are significantly cheaper than Bell or Videotron direct at equivalent speeds.
Who provides internet in rural Quebec?
Rural Quebec has fewer options than urban areas. Bell DSL covers much of the province via phone line infrastructure, though speeds are limited by distance from the exchange. Xplornet fixed wireless and satellite cover many rural areas. Starlink satellite is available province-wide at $120/month, typically delivering 50–220 Mbps — the best-performing option for remote Quebec addresses.
