Rogers and Eastlink overlap in more of Canada than most head-to-head matchups on this site: both providers show up in the plan data for Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, PEI, British Columbia and Alberta. Rogers additionally reaches Quebec, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in the data used for this page, regions where Eastlink does not appear. This page compares Rogers' Xfinity fibre and 5G Home Internet fixed-wireless lineups against Eastlink's cable-based "Fibre Link" plans, province by province.
Where each provider is available
Rogers and Eastlink overlap in seven provinces. Rogers additionally shows up in three regions -- Quebec, Saskatchewan and Manitoba -- where no Eastlink plan data is available for this comparison.
| Province | Rogers Internet | Eastlink Internet |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario (ON) | Yes | Yes |
| New Brunswick (NB) | Yes | Yes |
| Newfoundland & Labrador (NL) | Yes | Yes |
| Nova Scotia (NS) | Yes | Yes |
| Prince Edward Island (PE) | Yes | Yes |
| British Columbia (BC) | Yes | Yes |
| Alberta (AB) | Yes | Yes |
| Manitoba (MB) | Yes | No data |
| Quebec (QC) | Yes | No data |
| Saskatchewan (SK) | Yes | No data |
Ontario
In Ontario, Rogers' cheapest wireline (Xfinity fibre) plan runs well above Eastlink's cheapest cable plan, though Rogers also offers a cheaper capped 5G Home Internet wireless tier starting at $60/mo. At the top end, Rogers' Xfinity Premier 2G plan reaches speeds Eastlink cannot match -- Eastlink's fastest Ontario plan tops out at 940/15 Mbps.
New Brunswick and Newfoundland & Labrador
NB/NL is Rogers' strongest region on paper: its Xfinity lineup runs all the way up to a symmetrical 3000/3000 Mbps, and three of its five wireline tiers here are fully symmetrical, unlike the asymmetrical uploads Rogers offers elsewhere. Eastlink's NB/NL lineup is unchanged from its other regions, topping out at 940/15 Mbps.
Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is the one region in this comparison where Rogers has no Xfinity fibre or cable plans in the data -- only 5G Home Internet fixed-wireless. That makes Rogers dramatically cheaper to start ($35/mo vs Eastlink's $85/mo), but the two cheapest Rogers tiers here are data-capped at 200GB and 600GB, while Eastlink's cable plans are unlimited.
Prince Edward Island
PEI mirrors Nova Scotia for Rogers -- 5G Home Internet only, no Xfinity wireline plans in the data. The same trade-off applies: a much lower Rogers entry price against Eastlink's unlimited cable usage.
British Columbia
In BC, Eastlink undercuts Rogers' Xfinity fibre at the entry level, but Rogers' 5G Home Internet Essentials tier is cheaper still, if the 200GB cap works for the household. At the top end, Rogers' Xfinity Premier 2G plan far outpaces Eastlink's 940/15 Mbps ceiling.
Alberta
Alberta pricing follows the same Rogers lineup as BC (Rogers prices Xfinity and 5G Home Internet identically across AB, BC and MB), but Eastlink's Alberta prices run higher than its BC prices at both tiers, narrowing the gap between the two providers.
Where only Rogers is available
Rogers offers 5G Home Internet only in Quebec (no Xfinity fibre in the data): Essentials 100/10 Mbps at $35/mo (200GB cap), Popular 300/10 Mbps at $45/mo (600GB cap), and Ultimate 500/30 Mbps at $60/mo (unlimited), all no-contract with a 30-day risk-free trial. No Eastlink plan data is available for Quebec.
Rogers offers 4 Xfinity fibre plans in Saskatchewan on a 24-month term: Starter 100 (100/100 Mbps) at $50/mo, Popular 500 (500/200 Mbps) at $60/mo, Ultimate 1G (1000/200 Mbps) at $70/mo, and Ultimate 2G (2000/200 Mbps) at $80/mo -- all unlimited. No Eastlink plan data is available for Saskatchewan.
Rogers prices Manitoba the same as BC and Alberta: 4 Xfinity fibre plans from $70-$110/mo (24-month term) plus 3 5G Home Internet wireless plans from $60-$100/mo (no contract). No Eastlink plan data is available for Manitoba.

Equipment and bundles
Rogers includes modem rental in the price of its Xfinity plans, plus a $50 bill credit on most Xfinity fibre tiers and a $5/mo discount for enrolling in automatic payment. In Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba, Xfinity customers can also save $10/mo by bundling with a Rogers wireless plan. Rogers' 5G Home Internet plans come with a 30-day risk-free trial and no contract, but are not eligible for the same bill credits as Xfinity plans in the available data.
Eastlink includes whole-home Wi-Fi powered by eero 7, along with eero Secure, on select plans across its footprint. Eastlink also offers a customizable Family Bundle, letting customers combine internet with TV, Mobile, and/or Home Phone for additional savings. Which specific Eastlink plan tiers include the eero 7 equipment, and the exact savings available through the Family Bundle, should be confirmed directly with Eastlink, as this detail was not itemized in the uploaded plan data.
Customer support
Eastlink offers a wider range of published support channels, including text message support and an online outage status checker. Rogers offers phone, chat, app, and retail support. Rogers' Topicks.ca customer rating stands at 2.6/5; Eastlink's is not confirmed for this comparison.
Who should choose which?
- You're in Quebec, Saskatchewan or Manitoba, where Eastlink has no presence in the available data
- You want the fastest possible speed -- Rogers reaches up to 3000/3000 Mbps in NB/NL and 2000/200 Mbps in ON, AB, BC and MB, well beyond Eastlink's 940/15 Mbps ceiling
- You're in NS or PE and want the lowest possible entry price, and 200-600GB of usage is enough for your household
- You want a bill credit and, in AB/BC/MB, a bundle discount with Rogers wireless
- You want unlimited usage on every plan -- Rogers caps its two cheapest 5G Home Internet tiers at 200GB and 600GB
- You're in NS or PE and want a wired cable connection rather than fixed wireless
- You want no contract regardless of which speed tier you pick -- Rogers' Xfinity fibre plans require a 24-month term
- You want whole-home mesh Wi-Fi included -- Eastlink bundles eero 7 and eero Secure on select plans
- You want to bundle TV, Mobile, and/or Home Phone into a single customizable Family Bundle
There's no single national winner -- the right choice depends on where you live and how much data you need. Rogers reaches three provinces Eastlink doesn't (Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) and offers the higher top-end speeds almost everywhere the two overlap, led by a symmetrical 3000/3000 Mbps tier in NB/NL. But Rogers' cheapest plans in several regions -- including all of Nova Scotia and PEI -- are capped, data-limited 5G Home Internet, not unlimited wireline service. Eastlink, by contrast, is unlimited and contract-free on every single plan it offers, though its top speed of 940/15 Mbps is well below what Rogers' Xfinity fibre can deliver.
Rogers' case rests on reach and raw speed -- more provinces covered, faster top-end fibre tiers, and a rock-bottom wireless entry price where Xfinity isn't available. Eastlink's case rests on simplicity and inclusions -- unlimited data on every plan, no contracts anywhere, included whole-home eero 7 Wi-Fi, and a customizable Family Bundle.
