About WRS Web Solutions Inc. - Internet Service Provider Division

About WRS Web Solutions Inc. - Internet Service Provider Division. We are a home internet provider in Canada. We want to be your home internet provider. We also offer small businesses our same home internet plans, (except where limited from doing so by the local cable company). We even offer a well priced VoIP Home phone plan, and a VoIP Business phone plan.

We offer unlimited coax cable home internet plans in most urban areas, delivered over rented cable TV company lines. Use of the cable TV line is included in the home internet plan prices. (We do not offer cable TV channels.) Most coax cable (cable TV line) home internet plans require the purchase or rental of a suitable DOCSIS 3.1 standard, cable internet modem at the time the order is placed, (and we provide those purchase and rental options).

That said you may instead provide your own coax cable internet modem if it is on the list of approved modems. If planning to bring your own modem that us fine, we welcome that. When the order is placed through this website, we would ask you to enter the modem model, serial number, and mac ID (all of which would be ona label on the back or bottom of yoru modem) on the order page of the website as the cable company will need to enter that info into their system. It is best to first ask us to check modem suitability, before placing the order. Most modems that people already own (and you cannot use one that you do not own), are not on the cable companies written list of suitable modems, and we have to adhere to those lists. Questions are always welcome, preferably by email or contact form. As a note, it is usually always in the customer's best interest to own a modem rather than to rent it. We do not make any profit on any of the modems that we sell.

In addition, the company offers home internet at rural places if the address can be serviced by DSL capable Telus (in Alberta & BC) & Bell (in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic) phone company lines. DSL internet plans need a DSL internet modem, we sell and rent those or you provide your own. For simplicity sake we use the term 'DSL' but some plans may technically speaking be ADSL or VDSL. Further down this page you will find more information on our home internet plans service areas, and how to see which home internet plans are available where you live, including the option to know by address. (This page supplements the information available on the About Us page of our main Corporate website www.wrswebsolutions.com.)

Place Name Pages

Please note that our home internet plans vary by speeds and prices by place name. This is due to the different wholesale access and wholesale usage costs that we must pay. Added to this are the various technical limitations of each different cable TV network that we use, including modem model limitations by speeds, regions, and networks.

This why our website has so many place name specific pages, grouped by Province. This situation is unique, and unlike for example Amazon Canada which has the luxury of being able to sell the exact same items everywhere at the same prices).

Please note that while we retail 'unlimited' home internet plans, it may come as a surprise to customers to learn that on the wholesale end we do necessarily pay for 'unlimited' usage of our customers, rather often we have to pay for our customers' actual per GB usage, and that rate is different per Vendor and even may vary by Vendor's regional networks, and by the total GB usage for a given month, on top of network access prices which vary by plan, and that is before we even take into account other expenses.

Service Area

Check Availability

Internet plans available vary by Province and network used, which thus means that they also vary by place name, which in turn means that we have a vast number of place name pages on this website, so that people can see the actual break down of what home internet plans are actually available in the place that they live in, rather than having them end up ordering internet plans which are NOT available where they live, (which would likely be preferable to Google, as they do not seem to understand the market place we work in.)

In the Province of Quebec

In a sincere effort to comply with provincial legislation restricting the use of the English language in the Province of Quebec, WRS Web Solutions Inc. has decided for the time being at least, to limit the services it is offering in the Province of Quebec to only residential and business internet plans & modems, plus home phone and small business VoIP phone plans.

Please note that no French version exists for some of the software we offer in relation to our website builder, SSL certificates, and related services, thus they are only offered in the English language at this time, and for this reason we are not currently offering them for sale to Province of Quebec residents.

WRS Web Solutions Inc. is striving to comply with the provincial language laws. In relation to the web based offerings of such residential internet access plans to residents of the province of Quebec, it is the intent of WRS Web Solutions Inc. to provide a complete French language experience, including sales and technical support, for French speaking residents in the Province of Quebec, as well as a complete English language experience for English speaking residents of the Province of Quebec (who choose to use the English language in all communications with WRS Web Solutions Inc.). WRS Web Solutions Inc. welcomes suggestions for improving our services in the French and the English languages to residents of the Province of Quebec.

WRS Web Solutions Inc. is a privately owned, Veteran owned, Canadian company, located in Ontario. It does not have any offices, retail locations, assets, or employees in the Province of Quebec, but the company does collect and remit Quebec sales tax, on sales to Quebec residents, (as well as GST).
