With Rogers investing in Starlink.

And I don’t trust Telus and Bell neither.

Is there a list of various internet and mobile providers in different regions in the country?

    Internet: I’ve used teksavvy in the past and had a good experience. It’s not independent infrastructure (nothing is) Mobile: freedom (formerly wind) has it’s own network. It was acquired so isn’t quite the scrappy underdog standing up to oligopoly it used to be, but it still seems like the best option. My phone prices have actually gone down over time with them

      That’s simply not true. There are independent providers who do own the lines however it’s not that common around Canada. People need to stop applying black or white thinking to everything in general.

        I haven’t heard of any in the context of internet. Can you share any examples? If there’s a way to get out of the oligopoly I’d love to learn more about it

        Edit: saw beanfield in another comment. I’m happy to stand corrected!

      I can also recommend Fizz (mobile, they essentially resell Freedom plans). They allow you to “make your own plan” and have fair prices, especially when it comes to roaming.
