Compare internet plans
Put the offer beside the bill
A promoted price is useful only when you compare it with the service and bill you already have.
Copy your current recurring subtotal first. Then add the exact offer available at your address: download and upload speeds, price after discounts, required equipment, physical installation, and term. If a detail is missing, ask for it in writing before deciding.
Bring one recent bill and the written offer you are checking.

How this page was built
How we compare plans: We used the disclosure fields in the CRTC Internet Code to make a bill-first comparison sheet. A promoted price is kept separate from the ongoing bill.
One sheet, same details
Compare each line on the same basis
Use pre-tax with pre-tax, and recurring cost with recurring cost. Leave a field marked unknown until the provider confirms it.
Compare the first year and ongoing year
Enter the bill and offer amounts to compare them.
Why these fields are here
The contract should carry the detail
For providers covered by the Internet Code, the written contract and Critical Information Summary provide the strongest comparison record.
- 01
During and after the discount
The Internet Code requires covered contracts with a time-limited price to show the minimum monthly charge during and after that discount.
CRTC Internet Code, simplified (external source) - 02
One-time costs should be itemized
The Code requires covered contracts to list one-time costs separately and the Critical Information Summary to include one-time charges and additional fees.

Activation and plan-change fees changed in 2026
For home internet providers subject to the Code, the CRTC prohibition on activation or modification fees took effect June 12, 2026. Reasonable physical installation and expressly chosen extras are treated separately.

Rules behind the comparison
The Internet Code supplies the contract fields; the fee decision separates prohibited plan fees from physical installation and chosen extras.

Before you decide
Questions a plan grid usually skips
What number should I copy from my current bill?
Use the recurring subtotal for the comparable services. Keep taxes, one-time adjustments, and unrelated mobile or TV services separate.
Should I compare only the first 12 months?
No. Calculate the first year and a full year at the ongoing price. They answer different questions.
What if an offer detail is missing?
Mark it unknown and ask for the written contract or Critical Information Summary. Do not fill a blank with an assumption.
How should I save an address-qualified plan?
Keep the address, date, plan name, download and upload, promotional period, ongoing price, equipment, and written terms together.
