I've experienced slow internet for a few months, usually around 2-7MB per download while it should be 10MB. The connection quality has dropped so much that even my daughter can't stream properly. Technical support has been working on this for over a month without results. It seems I might be getting cable access through a reseller since the cable company doesn't offer TV and phone services together. I tested with my Samsung S10 using the Bell network and got speeds over 100Mbps. I'm also checking nearby towers from Telus and Rogers. Anyone knows if Broadband Internet is becoming popular in Canada? I'm considering buying an LTE-A Broadband router to connect it with my current modem instead of the cable one.

When you choose an LTE plan, you automatically get the slowest connection available from the nearest tower. If the network is busy, your internet will feel very slow.

Cellular companies in Canada provide home internet options. In the US, T Mobile does too, offering a gateway device for connection across 4G and 5G networks. You should check their specific plans since T Mobile’s home internet includes unlimited data but may prioritize you if network congestion occurs. Hotspot services via mobile devices usually have stricter data caps, even with unlimited phone data.
