Oh wow I had no idea Canada did municipal broadband and $32 a month is insanely cheap compared to what shaw/telus charge in the west. Which city do you live in and what's your city-managed ISP called? Would love to know more



New Westminster, BC.

The city-managed part of the service is called Bridgenet. Internet service is provided by Novus, Urbanfibre and a couple of other ISPs. Urbanfibre is the cheapest, and just as reliable as the others.


I live in Surrey and had no idea New West was doing this, it's like 15 minutes away. We need this idea to spread across Metro Vancouver, I'll definitely do more research into how it came about.

ps: this is a very good reason to move to new west!


Looks like probably Moncton, New Brunswick.
