About InternetAdvice.ca
Honest, independent internet advice from people who’ve actually worked in the industry.
Our Mission
Finding the right internet provider in Canada shouldn’t require a telecommunications degree. Yet between confusing promotional pricing, hidden fees, contract fine print, and misleading speed claims, most Canadians end up overpaying for service that doesn’t meet their needs.
We’re here to change that.
InternetAdvice.ca provides independent, research-backed guidance to help Canadians make informed decisions about their home internet. We’re not owned by any ISP. We don’t accept payment for reviews. Our recommendations come from real industry experience and hands-on testing, not marketing copy.
Who We Are
InternetAdvice.ca was founded by telecommunications industry veterans who spent years on the inside, working for Canadian carriers, understanding network infrastructure, and learning exactly how the system works (and where it fails consumers).
Our team writes under pen names due to ongoing professional obligations in the telecommunications industry. But our analysis comes from real experience: years of working with network operations, understanding wholesale pricing structures, analyzing CRTC regulatory filings, and helping countless friends and family escape overpriced ISP contracts.
Michael Latymer
Lead Analyst & Editor
Michael brings nearly 15 years of experience in Canadian telecommunications to InternetAdvice.ca. His career has spanned roles at national carriers and regional providers, working on everything from network capacity planning and infrastructure deployment to customer retention strategies. This insider perspective gives him unique insight into what ISPs actually deliver versus what they promise in their marketing materials. Michael now writes independently to help Canadians cut through the noise and find internet service that genuinely meets their needs. When he’s not testing router configurations or poring over CRTC decisions, he’s probably explaining to someone why upload speeds matter more than they think.

Real Industry Experience
We’ve worked inside telecom companies. We know how pricing actually works, what “up to” speeds really mean, and which promises are pure marketing.
No ISP Ownership
We’re completely independent. No carrier owns us, funds us, or influences our recommendations. Full stop.
Hands-On Testing
We don’t just quote spec sheets. We’ve personally used many of the services we recommend, run speed tests, and dealt with customer support ourselves.
Data-Driven Analysis
We dig into CRTC filings, Ookla speed data, regulatory documents, and verified customer reviews to build a complete picture.
Transparent About Money
We’re upfront about how we fund this site. Some links are affiliate links, but they never influence our recommendations. Learn more →

ISP pricing changes constantly. We review and update our guides quarterly, and immediately when major market changes occur.
