What internet can I get at this property?

Providers report to the federal government (ISED) which speeds they offer at homes and along roads across Canada. A report gives the best speed recorded within about 1 km of the lot over a wired line and over fixed wireless, whether LTE reaches there, and how far the nearest 50/10 Mbps service is.

The report opens at this answer, with the lot drawn on the map and every other check alongside. A PID (on the tax notice or title) always finds the lot; an address works when it's an exact match.

What the answer means

The speeds
Bands are download/upload in Mbps: under 5/1, 5/1, 10/2, 25/5 and 50/10 or faster. 50/10 is the CRTC's target for every Canadian home and ISED's top band, so a place in it may get much faster service.
Wired and fixed wireless
Wired means cable, fibre or DSL along the road. Fixed wireless is an antenna on the house aimed at a tower; hills and tall trees between them can block it, so a neighbour's service doesn't prove yours.
Reaching the lot
A line that serves homes nearby may stop short of a rural lot. Bringing it further can cost the owner: ask the provider for the address, not the area.
Satellite
Low-orbit satellite service works almost anywhere in BC with a clear view of the sky, so a lot with nothing recorded nearby can still get internet. It isn't counted in these figures.
Mobile
LTE coverage is recorded where a carrier reports it; signal inside a house, in a valley or under forest can be weaker than the map.

These are the speeds providers report to ISED, not a quote or a promise for any address. Confirm with the internet providers who serve the area before you buy or build.

Across BC

97.6% of BC's 2021 homes have 50/10 Mbps or faster recorded, wired or fixed wireless; 1.4% have nothing at 25/5 Mbps or faster (ISED data released May 2026). The homes without fast service are mostly in rural electoral areas and on the coast; each BC place page gives its own share.
