Internet availability across Burnaby
Burnaby's infrastructure is generally excellent throughout the city. The Metrotown area, with its dense high-rise development, has multiple provider options and modern connectivity. Established neighbourhoods like Brentwood, Lougheed, and Edmonds also have solid cable and increasingly fibre infrastructure.
The SFU area on Burnaby Mountain has unique considerations due to its geography, though the main residential areas below the mountain have standard Metro Vancouver options.
Burnaby's mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and condos means varied infrastructure situations. Newer developments often feature fibre, while older housing stock may be limited to cable or DSL.
★ Why oxio suits Burnaby's diverse population
Burnaby's diverse population, including significant immigrant communities, students, and families, values straightforward services without complicated terms. oxio's transparent pricing and online-first model work well for residents who prefer clarity over promotional complexity.
The city's substantial film and tech industries mean many residents work non-traditional hours or from home. Reliable internet that doesn't require phone calls during normal business hours to manage fits this lifestyle.
SFU students living off-campus appreciate flexible terms that align with academic schedules. Unlike incumbent contracts that assume year-round residence, oxio's approach works for September-to-April housing situations.
Availability in Burnaby is generally good, but always verify at your specific address using the official checker.
