Best Internet Plans in Quebec (2026)

Just like phone plans, Quebec has the best internet market in Canada — and for the same reason. Videotron is a strong regional player, so Bell has to actually compete, and a wave of cheaper brands (EBOX, oxio) resell those same lines for much less. The result: gigabit fibre for prices the rest of the country doesn’t see.

The short answer

Worth knowing up front: EBOX is owned by Bell, which lists it among its family of companies, so “EBOX versus Bell” is a choice between two Bell price points rather than a challenge to it. It is still much the cheaper one — but if you are switching to get away from Bell, that is the thing to know.

For most Quebecers, EBOX is the standout value — its 1 Gbps fibre is $60/mo$65, against $100+ for the same speeds from Bell. If you want the highest-rated experience with simple month-to-month pricing, oxio is the safe pick.

Why Quebec internet is cheaper

Videotron’s presence forces real competition in Quebec that doesn’t exist in most provinces. On top of that, resellers like EBOX and oxio buy wholesale access to Bell’s fibre and Videotron’s cable, then resell it without the retail overhead. You get the same physical connection into your home for a fraction of the price.

EBOX delivers Bell fibre speeds at a discount — its 1 Gbps plan, at $60/mo$65 for 1000 Mbps down and 750 Mbps up, is one of the strongest pure-fibre values anywhere in Canada. oxio runs on Videotron’s cable in Quebec, with a free eero router and no annual price hikes.

The full picture

What to look for in Quebec

• Watch the upload speed, not just the download. Bell’s fibre is symmetrical, and EBOX’s gigabit tier uploads at 750 Mbps — either is far ahead of Videotron’s cable if you take video calls or work from home.
• Watch the promo cliff on the big providers. Bell and Videotron advertise low intro rates that jump after a year. Independents like oxio hold their price.
• Confirm your address. Fibre availability is building-by-building in Montreal. Always check your postal code before committing.

Before you switch: independents run on the same Bell or Videotron lines, so your speeds are the same for the tier — you’re just not paying the brand markup.

Switching costs less than it used to

The CRTC’s 2026 fee decision amended the Internet Code as well as the Wireless Code. Since June 12, 2026, a provider subject to the Internet Code can’t charge you an activation or modification fee, on the same terms as wireless — so signing up somewhere cheaper no longer starts with a setup charge. Our CRTC fee ban explainer has the detail.

Two things it does not cover, and both matter for home internet: reasonable installation fees at your address are still allowed, and so are fees for optional extras you agree to buy. A promotional rate tied to a term commitment is also untouched — if you leave early, you can still lose the discount.

Sources checked: August 30, 2026. Every Quebec price above was re-verified on that date. Provider ownership, the CRTC fee change above, and our table labelling were checked on August 22. Prices still move without notice and availability varies by address, so confirm on the provider’s site before you sign up.
