A locally-owned fibre network for Quinte West. No introductory rate that doubles in month thirteen. No bundle requirement. No equipment fee. The price you sign is the price you pay, year five.
"Switched from Bell in November. Same fibre socket, same speed, thirty-five dollars less. Brad answered the night our service went down."

No introductory rate. No bundle bribe. No equipment fee. No retention department, because we do not need one.
All taxes included. The price you sign is the price you pay, year five.
Bell built the fibre cabinets across Quinte West. The wire from your street to the central office is the same wire we run on. What we have removed is the introductory pricing, the equipment rental, the bundle requirement, and the retention department.

"Same fibre, same socket, thirty-five dollars less per month. Brad answered the night our service dropped. Bell would still have me on hold."
"I work from home. Fourteen video calls a day. Bell's upload kept tanking my Zoom. BOQ's symmetric 500 fixed it in one afternoon. No script, just a tech who fixed it."
"Run a small accounting practice. Static IP was included on the 1 Gbps plan. Bell wanted thirty dollars a month extra for the same thing. I am paid for the year already."
None of these requires technical innovation. All of them require deciding that a customer is not a quarterly extraction target.
The founder is also the on-call. Outage at 11pm goes to his mobile, not a queue. PT Corp truck on site by morning if it needs digging.
No introductory rate that flips at month thirteen. No bundle requirement. No phone-line rider. The number you see is the number you pay, year five.
Our 500 Mbps plan is 500 down, 500 up. Bell Fibe 500 averages around 92 Mbps upload in Quinte West. If you work from home, you notice.
The technician is dispatched from Trenton, not subcontracted to whoever bid lowest on the regional contract. Brad knows the crew, by name.
If you want to leave, you give 30 days notice and the modem stays where it is. We never call to "see if we can do better." No clawback, no early-exit fee.
The single-mode fibre we sell on top is the same fibre we have been installing for Bell, Rogers, Cogeco, and Eastlink since 2003.
"I spent 22 years pulling fibre for Bell, Rogers, and Cogeco. I watched the same homes get billed three different ways for the same wire. BOQ is what the engineer would sell, if the engineer was allowed near the price sheet."

Actual single-mode fibre, ONT in your wall, glass all the way back to the cabinet. We will not call something fibre that is copper for the last 200 metres. If your address is on a copper run, we tell you up front and we do not sign you up.
Nothing. The price you sign is the price you pay, year five. We do not have an introductory rate or a renewal cycle. If we ever raise prices for new customers, existing customers stay on the price they signed on.
The contract says they cannot raise your locked price, even after acquisition. If a transfer ever happens, you keep your price or you walk, no fee. We added that clause because it is the clause Bell will not give.
You text the SLA number. Brad sees it on his phone. If it is a cluster outage we already monitor, he tells you the ETA before you finish typing the second sentence. If it is your gear, a truck rolls Monday morning at 7am. Our 90-day average reply on after-hours: four minutes.
Because the fibre is single-mode and the ONT is configured symmetric. Bell and Rogers throttle the upload so the business plans look better by comparison. We do not have business plans to upsell to, so we ship what the wire can carry.
12 ms p95, Quinte West to a Toronto AWS endpoint. That is roughly half what most cable connections deliver from Quinte West, same datacentre.
No, and no. Bundles exist to make the internet price look lower than it is. We just sell internet. If you want phone, we will recommend a local SIP provider that costs $12/mo and uses our network fine.
If you are lit, you get an install date inside 14 days. If you are not yet on a lit street, we tell you the month we will be. No deposit, no waiting list, no register-interest form.
