5 best family Internet deals in Quebec

How did we choose the following Family Internet plans?

As all families are different, not one package could fit them all. Depending on how many people are at home, and on the Internet usage of each, the speed you might need might be different. To suggest Internet plans that would fit families with moderate Internet usage, we turned to Internet packages with speeds varying between 75 to 150 Mbps as it would be sufficient for most usage with many devices. We also tried to select plans that had the best price for the speeds.

Therefore, if you know your family does not use the Internet a lot, you could opt for a package of 75 Mbps or even less. However, if multiple devices are often used at the same time, or if a member of your family works or studies from home, you might benefit from a faster Internet speed.
