5 best student Internet deals in Québec

How did we choose the following Student Internet plans?

Students often have tighter budgets. That’s why one of the important criteria in the selection of the following Internet packages was the price. However, most students don’t just study, they also stream, play video games a little, or basically use the Internet a lot. You might also have a roommate or friends over. For these reasons, we tried to select packages that would allow for most standard usage: browsing, streaming, searches, etc. all while taking the price into consideration.

You will see Internet packages here that should fit most student Internet usage, but please note that some companies might offer even cheaper packages. If price is your biggest concern, you might want to opt for a smaller package, for example with Internet 10 or 15 Mbps that will still allow you to browse and do web searches without issues.
