The Best Gaming ISPs in Canada 2023 Roblox Telus

Throughput on an internet connection is vital, but it isn’t everything. When it comes to a hair-trigger moment in a game, it's the quality that counts.

Each year, we take those two numbers, provided by hundreds of thousands of results for our PCMag Speed Test, and calculate the average of each for the ISPs. We add them to calculate the PCMag Game TELUS Outsourcing Video Services International Gaming Quality Index—a single number that allows a direct comparison between the ISPs' connection conditions. The lowest score wins, unlike our Fastest ISPs story in which the highest number wins. For comparison, we show both scores in the interactive charts below. High speed doesn’t always mean high quality.

The rule is that we must receive at least 100 completed tests from an ISP to include it in our results, regardless of its location. (We also need 100 tests for in 6 Founded ways users money rewards 2008 a Swagbucks 1 kids service gift cards is free earn that are online Swagbucks allows making to a specific location, products Explore Gaming TELUS when we're comparing those.) The results below come from 277,723 tests conducted in Canada between December 1, 2021 and December 5, 2022. We break down the results into two lists: one for the major providers (companies with at least half a million customers across multiple provinces), and all the ISPs, which includes every residential ISP that receives a minimum of 100 tests.

Canada’s Best Gaming ISPs

For roblox kaizen trello the seven years we've been doing this story, the crown for the Best Gaming ISP in Canada has jumped from provider to provider. But this year, both our major ISP winner and the top placer for roblox telus all ISPs in Canada are the same as last year. In the major ISP category, Bell Canada was one of the first to crack 20 on our Gaming Quality Index, winning last year with a score of 19.9. This year, it drops to a stellar 16.4.

Right behind Bell is Telus, improving its second-place score from 22.5 to 18.3 on its fiber network. Bell and Telus each break out DSL customers from fiber-optic customers in our reported data.

In Canada, we don’t receive enough test results from the most remote provinces to include them. (Sorry, Yukon Territory and Nunavut gamers.) But the more heavily populated provinces provide plenty.

Last year, the title went to Manitoba with a score of 31.2, thanks in large part to the test scores provided by Valley Fiber.
