Get connected with broadband

From: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada

All Canadians should have access to high-speed Internet service and extensive wireless coverage, no matter where they live. The Government of Canada offers numerous programs and initiatives to make the vision of a truly connected Canada a reality as part of the High Speed Access for All: Canada's Connectivity Strategy.

Help build the future of high-speed Internet in Canada

By taking two minutes to complete a quick internet speed test, you'll be helping us collect data to ensure that we expand high-speed networks to rural, remote, northern and under-served communities across Canada.

Submit Feedback and CIRA's Internet Performance Test Results

ISED welcomes feedback and comments about Internet service availability. Feedback about the Internet speeds available at your address can be provided by performing an Internet performance test with CIRA. Your current location will be used when performing the test. For more information, visit How the CIRA Internet Performance Test Works.

No personal information will be retained by ISED. Anonymous information collected will be used to improve ISED's National Broadband Internet Service Availability Map and will be used to guide and assist in the delivery of ISED programs.

Building the new program together

To help every Canadian access high-speed internet at minimum speeds of 50/10 Mbps, the Government of Canada announced Canada's Connectivity Strategy, a plan to deliver up to $6 billion in investments in rural broadband over the next 10 years.

Universal Broadband Fund

A key tool in developing high-speed internet across Canada will be the new Universal Broadband Fund (UBF), which will support broadband projects across the country. Designed to meet the unique needs of rural and remote communities, the UBF will be informed by feedback from Canadians as part of the Government's roadmap for supporting strong and resilient rural communities through economic development.

How Canadians can get involved

• Canadians can help by completing a quick Internet speed test.
• In addition to completing the Internet Speed Test, we welcome your feedback via email about Internet service availability. Our National Broadband map provides a useful tool to see internet coverage, projects under way and providers available in your area.

How Internet service providers (ISPs), municipalities, Indigenous organizations and communities can get involved

• Verify the coverage information on our National Broadband Map
• Is your organization considering applying for a project under the Universal Broadband Fund? Before the process is launched, submit your proposed project area(s) using our feedback form and we will get back to you about existing services in the area to help you refine your final proposal.
