The Best Internet in Regina – A Local Guide 2026

SaskTel is Saskatchewan’s provincially owned telecommunications provider, serving over 1.4 million customers. As a Crown corporation, profits are reinvested into the province rather than going to outside shareholders. SaskTel returned $32.9 million in dividends to the Saskatchewan government in the 2024-25 fiscal year. Their infiNET fibre network is Saskatchewan’s largest, and it was first launched in Regina in 2011.

In Regina, infiNET fibre is available throughout most of the urban area. SaskTel also offers interNET DSL plans for the few remaining addresses where fibre has not yet been installed. All plans include unlimited data, free basic installation, one Wi-Fi gateway, and 24/7 local support. For the 2025-26 fiscal year, SaskTel is investing $111.5 million in wireless infrastructure and rolling out 5G+ in Regina.

Access Communications is a 100% Saskatchewan owned, not for profit co-operative based right here in Regina. Founded in 1974 as Regina Cablevision Co-operative, they have grown into the province’s largest cable provider, serving over 235 communities with internet, TV, phone, and home security. Because Access is a co-operative, every dollar of profit is reinvested into service improvements and community initiatives rather than going to outside shareholders.

In Regina, Access offers their HyperSpeed internet plans over cable and fibre infrastructure, with speeds up to 1 Gbps. They also provide NexTV Stream television, digital phone, and AccessSmartHome security. Access has strong new customer promotions, student discounts, and CAA member deals that make their pricing very competitive.

*Access pricing varies by promotion. New customer promos start as low as $34.48/mo for 4 months. Student pricing available on HyperSpeed 175, 350, and 1 Gig. CAA members get significant 24 month discounts. Check myaccess.ca for current offers.

Rogers entered Saskatchewan through its April 2023 acquisition of Shaw Communications. In Regina, their presence is more limited than in Saskatoon, but they offer cable internet through the former Shaw network in some areas. Rogers uses Xfinity branding in Western Canada with speeds up to 1.5 Gbps on cable, though upload speeds are significantly lower than SaskTel’s fibre.

If Rogers is available at your address, they can be a decent option for bundling with Rogers mobile plans. However, most Regina residents will find better options with SaskTel or Access Communications given their broader local coverage and Saskatchewan based support.

FlexNetworks is a Saskatoon based telecom company building one of Saskatchewan’s most impressive independent fibre networks. They acquired Redbird Communications and now serve 68 communities with 18 more planned for 2026, bringing their total to 86. They offer residential speeds up to 2,500 Mbps, which is significantly faster than SaskTel’s current 940 Mbps maximum.

In the Regina area, FlexNetworks serves communities like Craven, Regina Beach, and Buena Vista. They are not yet widely available within urban Regina itself, but for residents in surrounding communities they are worth checking. FlexNetworks received Universal Broadband Fund support to continue expanding across Saskatchewan.

oxio is a Quebec based independent ISP that has expanded across Canada, including Saskatchewan. They resell internet service over major cable networks in Regina and offer something no other provider does: transparent, locked in pricing with no contracts and no price increases ever. The price you sign up at is the price you pay for as long as you are a customer.

With a 4.5+ star rating on PlanHub and Google, oxio has earned a strong reputation for customer satisfaction. Their approach is digital first, which means no phone support, but chat and email responses are fast and helpful. They include an eero 6 mesh router with every plan.

TekSavvy has been a consumer advocate in Canada’s telecom industry for over 25 years, based in Chatham, Ontario. They are known for fighting for fair wholesale rates at the CRTC and offering transparent pricing with no contracts. In Saskatchewan, they resell over major cable and fibre networks.

Starlink uses thousands of low Earth orbit satellites to deliver internet anywhere with a clear view of the sky. Unlike traditional satellite internet with 600ms+ latency, Starlink achieves 25 to 60ms latency, making it usable for video calls and even gaming.

For most Regina addresses, Starlink is not the best choice since SaskTel fibre and Access cable offer faster speeds at lower prices. But for acreages in the RM of Sherwood, rural properties near Lumsden or Regina Beach, or anywhere outside the cable and fibre footprint, Starlink is transformative. Saskatchewan gets Regional Savings pricing, which drops equipment costs to just $99.
