Interactive Maps
The Ontario Broadband Resource Hub contains both mapping published by the Blue Sky Net team and external mapping resources. The connectednorth.ca Ontario Internet Access Map portal contains 4 interactive maps and an option to participate in the CIRA Internet Performance Test: Ontario Internet Access MapNorthern Ontario Speed Test ResultsInternet Service Provider SearchFunded Broadband Projects The portal also includes the CIRA Internet Performance Test. Interactive Maps Ontario Internet Access Map (OIAM) Community The Ontario Internet Access Map has been developed by Blue Sky Net as a publicly accessible interactive GIS map detailing access to premise broadband levels throughout Ontario communities, right down to the neighbourhood you live in. Community leaders, health care professionals, individuals interested in service alternatives, and internet service providers are encouraged to take advantage of the map’s information for their own research and understanding of access throughout Ontario. Launch the Ontario Internet Access Map This section includes external maps related to broadband access. These maps are sourced from Ontario Connects, ISED National Broadband Availability map, CRTC, and other publicly available sources.

Even in 2025, significant gaps in cellular coverage are still an issue in Ontario, primarily in the northern and rural areas. Ontario Cellular Coverage Map (OCCM) The map below was created using the ISED National Broadband Dataset, as it includes information about cellular coverage using the pseudo-household distribution method. The data was last updated in June 2025In this case, each pseudo-household data point was assigned a value of zero or one. These values were summarized using the 2021 Census dissemination blocks (neighbourhood level) and the census subdivisions (community level).The road segment layer follows the major highways in the province, this layer is from the CRTC's dataset. In the map below, the green road segments indicate that the highway has cell coverage, and the magenta road segments indicate there is no cell service covering that stretch of highway.Note: When viewing the neighbourhood level summaries (dissemination blocks), any block with zero dwellings (households) will show up as red. The summaries were calculated using cellular (4G LTE) availability and dwelling (household) counts. Sources: Community & neighbourhood level summaries of cellular availability: - ISED National Broadband Dataset (includes 4G LTE cellular availability data) Highways with and without cellular coverage:- CRTC - Current trends - Mobile wireless Launch the Ontario Cellular Coverage Map Number of Unique Cellular Providers By Hexagon This map includes the total number of unique cellular service providers within each hexagon, across the province of Ontario. Click on a hexagon to see the total number and list of cellular service providers that may be available within. Note: This map does not guarantee cellular coverage, the 25km hexagons provide an estimate of coverage. This map was created using the ISED hexagon mapping.

The estimated 4G LTE cellular coverage file from the CRTC mapping was also included for reference.

Scadacore Canadian Cell Tower Map The Canadian Cell Tower Map allows users to quickly browse through tens of thousands of towers. This map is useful in planning and troubleshooting cellular networks for IIoT / SCADA monitoring applications. SCADACore’s Industry 4.0 solutions include true 3D HMI / Digital Twin and Web HMI that works over the web. The cell tower information on this page is obtained from the Canadian Spectrum Management System Dataset. Note: SCADACore CANNOT assist with any Reception or Cell Tower inquiries. SCADACore has no affiliation with Cellular Providers such as Bell, Rogers, Telus, AT&T, or Verizon.
