What to check
- Confirm service using the exact civic address, not only a city name.
- For apartments and condos, include the unit number when checking availability.
- Compare upload speed as well as download speed.
- Check regular pricing after promotional periods.
- Ask about installation, equipment rental, shipping, cancellation and equipment return rules.
- For rural, cottage or remote service, consider line of sight, power, weather, obstructions and backup options.
