Edmonton has more independent choice than most Alberta cities, so check the independents before you sign anything with Telus or Rogers. Telus is the only fibre-to-the-home incumbent, from $90/mo† for symmetrical 500 Mbps. Rogers sells cable. A long list of smaller providers, some local to Edmonton, fill the gap below both.
Plans we track for Alberta
Read this before the table. These are plans we track for Alberta, cheapest first. We have not separately re-checked each one against an Edmonton address, and availability in Canada is decided street by street. The rows with city-locked availability elsewhere (Calgary, Winnipeg and so on) are excluded.
Who serves Edmonton
Telus and Rogers are the two incumbents, and the independents we track are covered below.
Edmonton also has smaller providers we don’t track yet, including CIK Telecom, NetJOI and FlashNet. We have not verified their Edmonton prices or availability, so treat them as names to check at your address, not recommendations.
Telus. Telus PureFibre is the only fibre running into Edmonton homes from an incumbent, and our tracked prices are $90/mo† for 500 Mbps, $105/mo† for 1.5 Gig, $120/mo† for 3 Gig and $140/mo† for 5 Gig, symmetrical on all but 1.5 Gig. Ask for the all-in price, including any bill credits, and the term in writing.
- Good for: the fastest, most symmetrical connections in the city.
- Bad for: anyone who might move. Telus sells on a two-year term. In our Calgary guide, Telus’s Calgary terms put a declining early-cancellation fee of up to $480 on its 1.5 Gig plan. We have not confirmed the Edmonton figures, so ask.
Rogers. Rogers’ former Shaw network is cable, not fibre, in Edmonton as in Calgary. We track $130/mo for 500 Mbps and $160/mo for 2 Gbps, sold on terms. Upload speeds sit well below fibre’s.
- Good for: bundling with Rogers mobile or TV.
- Bad for: price. It is among the dearest options for the speed, and the sticker is not the end of it: ask about introductory pricing and the term.
TekSavvy. Fibre at 1.5 Gbps tracks at $129.95/mo and 100 Mbps cable at $80.95/mo, month to month. TekSavvy quotes by address, and we have not verified its availability in Edmonton specifically. Don’t assume the fibre tier reaches you.
Wakey. Wakey’s tracked Alberta cable ladder starts at $29/mo, but that Starter tier is 5 Mbps down and 0.5 up, well below the CRTC’s 50/10 objective, so skip it. Its Pure Fibre gigabit plan is tracked at $89/mo, but Wakey ties fibre to Telus PureFibre territory, and Edmonton fibre availability is unverified here.
oxio. oxio’s Alberta entry tier is $49/mo for 75 down and 50 up, and its gigabit is $90/mo, both month to month. oxio quotes after an address check, these are Alberta figures rather than an Edmonton quote, and its Edmonton coverage is unverified here.
How to actually cut your Edmonton bill
- Get two or three real quotes. With Telus fibre and a field of independents, “I have a cheaper quote at my address” is a real negotiating position.
- Do the 24-month maths. A month-to-month independent at a slightly higher monthly price can beat a two-year term once the exit fee is included.
- Watch reversion. Intro credits end after 12 months at several providers.
- Don’t buy speed you won’t use. Most households are well served by 500 Mbps.
- Renters: ask your building; some towers have a preferred provider.
FAQ
Who has the fastest internet in Edmonton? Telus, on paper: PureFibre goes to 5 Gbps symmetrical. Check your address.
Can I get gigabit in Edmonton without Telus or Rogers? Possibly. We track fibre plans from TekSavvy and Wakey, and smaller providers such as CIK Telecom and FlashNet are worth an address check. We have not verified availability at Edmonton addresses.
Did the CRTC fee ban make switching free? It removed activation and modification fees, including for home internet. It does not appear to remove early-cancellation charges on internet terms, so read the contract. See our explainer.
How does Edmonton compare with Calgary? Same Telus and Rogers lineup, a different independent mix. See our Calgary guide and Alberta guide.
