Methodology
We compare categories of service on criteria anyone can check, using providers’ published information and regulator pages. We did not run lab speed tests, and we do not publish star ratings.
The total you pay in CAD, what the price covers, and whether it rises after a promotion.
HD as a baseline, real 4K where offered, and how the service behaves at peak times.
Which TVs, sticks, boxes, phones and computers are supported, and whether you need special equipment.
Which channels and events are available in your region. Rights are sold by territory, so this varies.
Contract length, automatic renewal, and how easy it is to stop.
How you reach a person (WhatsApp, phone, email, chat) and how quickly they answer.
Whether the provider publishes its terms, refund policy and business details, and avoids claims it cannot back up.
Canadian TV distributors such as the big carriers are regulated by the CRTC, and TV service complaints can go to the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS). The CRTC also requires an entry-level basic package priced at no more than $25 a month (CRTC).
Canadian courts have ordered internet providers to block services that stream content without permission, including the GoldTV order upheld in 2021. That is why we tell you to check what a provider is allowed to show, wherever you buy.
