Rogers vs Beanfield Internet plans in Canada (2026)

Rogers and Beanfield are two Canadian fibre internet providers that serve overlapping but very different footprints. Rogers owns and operates its Xfinity fibre network across seven provinces -- Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and Saskatchewan -- but has no fibre presence in Quebec. Beanfield builds and owns its own fibre-to-the-unit network exclusively inside dense urban residential buildings, serving select properties in Montreal (Quebec), the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area (Ontario), and Metro Vancouver (British Columbia). This page focuses on fibre plans only. Beanfield fibre plans start at $50/month in BC and $65/month in Ontario and Quebec, all no-contract with a two-year price guarantee. Rogers Xfinity fibre plans start at $70/month in BC and $75/month in Ontario, on 24-month promotional terms. Rogers has no fibre plans in Quebec; Beanfield is the only fibre option of the two in that province.

Plans and pricing

Rogers Xfinity fibre plans are sold on 24-month promotional terms that revert to a higher regular price at the end of the term; modem rental is included on all Xfinity fibre plans. Rogers does not offer fibre in Quebec. Beanfield offers no-contract symmetrical fibre plans with a two-year price guarantee and an autopay discount of $5/month already reflected in the listed prices. The plan cards below show Rogers fibre plans by province alongside Beanfield fibre plans across all three provinces it serves.

On a direct fibre-to-fibre comparison in the shared markets, Beanfield holds a significant price and speed advantage. In Ontario, Beanfield offers 1 Gbps symmetrical for $65/month on a no-contract basis versus Rogers Xfinity Starter 150 at $75/month for 150/150 Mbps on a 24-month term -- Beanfield delivers over six times the speed for $10/month less with no term commitment. In BC, Beanfield 1 Gbps fibre is $50/month no-contract versus Rogers Xfinity Starter 100 at $70/month on a 24-month term. Beanfield also reaches 8 Gbps symmetrical in both ON and BC, a tier Rogers does not offer in either province on its fibre network -- the Rogers top fibre tier in ON and BC is 2 Gbps. In Quebec, Rogers offers no fibre; Beanfield serves select Montreal buildings with 1 Gbps symmetrical fibre at $65/month, making it the only fibre option of the two in that province. Rogers counters with modem rental included on all Xfinity fibre plans, a $100 bill credit on Ontario plans, a $50 bill credit on BC plans, and a $10/month bundle discount for Rogers mobile plan holders on BC internet plans.

Network and coverage

Coverage is the defining difference between these two providers. Rogers owns and operates its Xfinity fibre network across seven provinces but has no fibre presence in Quebec. Beanfield builds and owns its own fibre-to-the-unit infrastructure but serves exclusively dense urban residential buildings in three cities: Montreal in Quebec, the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, and Metro Vancouver in British Columbia. Where Beanfield serves a building, it is available only through that building's own in-building fibre connection. Availability must be confirmed at the individual building level.

Rogers covers a far larger geographic footprint with fibre, reaching urban and suburban households across seven provinces. In the three provinces where Beanfield operates (QC, ON, BC), Rogers serves Ontario and BC with Xfinity fibre but has no wired network in Quebec -- meaning Beanfield is the only fibre option of the two in Montreal. Where both offer fibre in the same province, Beanfield delivers fully symmetrical speeds at every tier; Rogers caps uploads at 200 Mbps across all Xfinity fibre plans regardless of the download tier. Beanfield also reaches 8 Gbps symmetrical in Ontario and BC, a speed Rogers does not match on fibre anywhere. Beanfield availability is building-specific and must be confirmed at the address level.

Contract and pricing details

Beanfield internet plans are all available on a no-contract basis with a two-year price guarantee across Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. The listed prices reflect an autopay discount of $5/month; customers should confirm whether the listed price requires autopay enrollment. The two-year price guarantee locks the current promotional rate for the guarantee period -- there is no revert to a higher rate during that window. Quebec and Ontario plans start at $65/month for 1 Gbps symmetrical (was $70). Ontario also offers 3 Gbps at $75/month (was $80) and 8 Gbps at $90/month (was $95). BC plans are priced lower: 1 Gbps at $50/month (was $55), 3 Gbps at $65/month (was $70), and 8 Gbps at $80/month (was $85).

Equipment and installation

Rogers includes modem rental in the monthly price on all Xfinity fibre plans. Self-installation is free. A professional installation fee may apply; customers should contact Rogers directly to confirm whether self-install is available at their address and whether any fees apply.

Beanfield includes hardware rental on all plans in Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia at no additional charge, and offers free installation. The Wi-Fi hardware tier varies by plan: Wi-Fi 6 is included on the 1 Gbps plans; Wi-Fi 7 (Nokia WiFi Beacon) is included on the 3 Gbps and 8 Gbps plans in Ontario and BC. Wi-Fi spec for the Quebec 1 Gbps plan is not specified in available plan data -- confirm directly with Beanfield. Given that Beanfield serves residential buildings with its own in-building fibre infrastructure, the installation process may differ from a standard home installation.

Perks and add-ons

Rogers includes modem rental in every Xfinity fibre plan. Ontario Xfinity fibre plans include a $100 bill credit as a sign-up incentive; BC plans include a $50 bill credit. A $10/month bundle discount is available on BC plans when paired with a Rogers mobile plan, and a $5/month automatic payment discount applies on most Xfinity plans. Rogers also offers a 5G Backup Home Internet add-on providing 50 GB of data at plan speeds -- after which data continues at reduced speeds with no overage charges -- designed to keep customers connected during outages on their primary connection.

Beanfield includes a two-year price guarantee on all plans across Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia, locking the current promotional rate for the guarantee period with no revert pricing. Hardware rental is included on all plans, with Wi-Fi 7 available on the 3 Gbps and 8 Gbps tiers in Ontario and BC. Beanfield does not list streaming bundles, loyalty perks, sign-up gift cards, or bill credits in available plan data.
