What kind of internet can I get in the country?
Xplore offers 5G fixed wireless, fibre and satellite internet. The best choice depends on where you are, so we check what is available at your address and recommend the plan that fits.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No. Xplore Internet plans are no-contract. Installation fees may apply.
Is the data unlimited?
LTE/5G and fibre plans include unlimited monthly data. Satellite plans include 350 GB to 500 GB of data a month.
Can I pause my internet at the cottage?
Yes. Xplore service can be paused for seasonal properties, so you are not paying all year for a place you only use part of it.
Can you get internet out to my barn or shop without digging a trench?
Yes. A wireless bridge beams your connection from the house to the barn, shop or second house, even over long distances, and access points give you strong Wi-Fi indoors and out.
Can I keep my phone number with Xplore Home Phone?
Yes. Xplore Home Phone lets you keep your current number, works with any regular or cordless phone and comes on the same bill as your internet. It starts at $21.99 a month for Xplore Internet customers.
