Calgary Internet Providers – Reviewed [2026]

TELUS PureFibre is the gold standard for home internet in Calgary. With true fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) covering over 90% of Calgary addresses, TELUS offers the fastest speeds and lowest latency available in Western Canada. Recent Ookla reports consistently rank TELUS as Canada’s fastest fixed internet provider.

TELUS invested $2 billion specifically in Calgary’s fibre infrastructure, making it one of the best-connected cities in North America. The downside? Pricing is higher than resellers, and you’ll typically need a 2-year contract for the best rates. However, your price is locked for the contract duration.

Rogers acquired Shaw in April 2023, inheriting Shaw’s extensive cable infrastructure across Western Canada. Now operating as “Rogers Xfinity,” they use DOCSIS cable technology to deliver high-speed internet. While download speeds can reach 1.5 Gbps, upload speeds on cable are limited to 100-200 Mbps.

In select Calgary neighborhoods, Rogers is rolling out fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) with symmetric speeds up to 8 Gbps. They offer competitive mobile+internet bundles if you’re also a Rogers Wireless customer. Many Calgarians still know them as Shaw, but all branding has transitioned to Rogers.

oxio is a Quebec-based reseller that’s expanded across Canada, including Alberta. With a 4.5+ rating on PlanHub (among the highest of any provider), oxio has built a loyal following among tech-savvy customers tired of Big Telecom pricing games.

What sets oxio apart: price-lock guarantee (your price never increases), no contracts, no hidden fees, and an excellent app for managing your account. In Calgary, oxio uses Rogers/Shaw cable infrastructure. The catch? Customer service is 100% digital (chat and email only) – there’s no phone support.

TekSavvy is a Canadian-owned reseller with over 20 years of experience and a strong reputation for consumer advocacy. In Calgary, they offer cable internet using the Rogers/Shaw infrastructure, providing up to 1 Gbps speeds at prices lower than the big providers.

TekSavvy is known for transparent pricing, no contracts, and standing up for consumer rights at the CRTC. Gamers appreciate their consistent performance and low latency. Since they use the same physical infrastructure as Rogers, quality is essentially identical – just cheaper.

Moby is Calgary’s answer to Toronto’s Beanfield – a local ISP that builds and operates its own fibre network rather than reselling from the big telecoms. Based in downtown Calgary with a 100% local team, Moby focuses on condos and apartment buildings.

If your building is connected, you can get blazing-fast fibre internet at excellent prices – up to 2.5 Gbps symmetric speeds. Moby offers no contracts, free installation, and 24/7 local support. Their 3-year price guarantee means your rate stays locked. Founded in 2015, they’ve expanded to serve thousands of units in Calgary and Edmonton.

Starlink is SpaceX’s low-earth orbit satellite internet service, primarily designed for rural and remote areas where traditional broadband isn’t available. If you live outside Calgary’s urban footprint – in acreages near Cochrane, Okotoks, or rural Rocky View County – Starlink may be your best option for high-speed internet.

Unlike traditional satellite internet, Starlink offers speeds of 50-220 Mbps with latency low enough for video calls and light gaming. The hardware costs $759 CAD upfront plus $140/month – expensive, but transformative for rural users who previously had only slow DSL or legacy satellite options.
