Best Edmonton Internet Providers
Telus
The best internet service provider in Edmonton is Telus, thanks to its fibre network's strong performance and reliable connectivity. Fibre presents multiple advantages over the more common cable, including faster download and upload speeds, lower latency, and better overall connectivity over Wi-Fi and wired connections. Telus' fastest offer is a brand new plan that features 2.5Gbps download and upload speeds—the fastest we've seen from any major residential ISP in the country.
- Up to 2.5Gbps download and upload speeds
- Both contract and no contract options are available
- Can bundle with TV service, home phone, cell phone, and home security services
TekSavvy
If you're looking for an alternative to Telus and Shaw, TekSavvy is your best choice. We love that you can get everything from blazing-fast gigabit maximum speeds to simple DSL connections if you're doing basic online tasks like email and some light browsing. The company has many connection options available to ensure that everyone can find the perfect internet plan to fit their needs.
- Up to 1000Mbps download speeds
- No contract internet service
- Can bundle with TV service and home phone
Shaw
Alberta is lucky and has some of the nation's fastest internet providers, including Shaw. Reaching 1.5Gbps download speeds places Shaw among the fastest internet providers out there. But Shaw isn't just fast—it's also a well-known brand with reliable service and great performance. These values are true even at lower than gigabit speeds for gaming, streaming, and more.
- Up to 1.5Gbps download speeds
- Known for high-quality internet service
- Can bundle with TV service, home phone, and cell phone services

We mentioned Telus' new 2.5Gbps plan earlier, and it's just one of the high-speed internet plans that Telus offers.

You could download most things near instantaneously with the max 2.5Gbps offered here. Beyond this fastest plan, there are 1.5Gbps and 940Mbps options available.

While you'll find Shaw's headquarters in Calgary, the internet performance that it offers is just as fast in Edmonton. It's not 2.5Gbps, but 1.5Gbps is still faster than most Edmonton residents will be able to truly take advantage of. The connections that Shaw uses are very capable and reliable, making them a great choice for high-speed internet service.

The Cable 100 Unlimited plan could be a better value option if you're only streaming on a single device with a handful of other devices using some bandwidth.

Distributel
The final entry in our fastest providers section doesn't reach the same gigabit speeds that the others do, but there is still plenty of value and speed to be had from Distributel. The 300Mbps download speed that you can get from the top plan is enough to connect about 15 devices over Wi-Fi without any slowdowns. Distributel internet packages are often discounted for a limited time when you sign up, making them a great short-term internet option.
