Bell is one of the biggest internet service providers in the country, offering fibre and DSL internet to millions of Canadians. The company competes against several regional internet service providers, meaning prices can vary depending on the province. It also means customers can find some excellent deals if they know where to look.
We've been studying the telecom space since 2008, learning how to spot the best deals on internet plans. We keep an eye out for low prices and high speeds, but we also consider what the average users actually needs, rather than what an ISP will say they need.
Read on to find the best Bell home internet plans available now.

Best Bell
Internet Plans
Bell offers high-speed fibre plans, providing some of the best internet service available in Canada. We've ranked the best Bell internet plans below, including all the relevant information you'll need before activation.
Cheapest Bell
Internet Plan
The fastest plan may technically be the best available, but it may not be the best for you. Sometimes, the cheapest option is the best. We've ranked the cheapest Bell internet plans below so you can score a deal before firing up your Wi-Fi.
Bell DSL internet plans
DSL internet is generally slower than fibre, though many DSL plans can reach speeds that are considered high-speed. Bell uses DSL internet for areas where they have not yet installed fibre. You can check whether your neighbourhood has Bell fibre by using the “check availability” feature on Bell’s website.
Bell internet bundles and deals
Bell offers a number of options for bundling its services, including discounts for those who pair their internet plans with Fibe TV.

Methodology: How WhistleOut rates internet plans
WhistleOut evaluates phone plans based on the following criteria:
- Price & value: Not all cheap plans are “bad,” and not all expensive plans are worth it. We look at everything a plan includes and compare it both to other plans from the same ISP, as well as similar plans from competitors in the market, to determine whether the value is consistent with the price.
- Speed: We judged a plan's download and upload speeds to determine the kind of experience you'll have. Importantly, though, we've considered what the average Canadian household needs for home internet rather than giving preference to the fastest speeds available.
- Coverage & network reliability: The breadth of each ISP's network determines your service.
- Plan extras and perks: In addition to the basics—speed, data, and coverage—some plans throw in freebies like free modems, entertainment subscriptions, or service discounts.
Our internet experts leveraged proprietary data and real-world customer feedback to evaluate the best internet plans from Bell. We considered plan-specific elements, including perks, premium data allowances, and speed. After performing hands-on testing and extensive research, including customer feedback, we picked the plans we feel meet the needs of most people.
