Understanding Northern Ontario Broadband Infrastructure in your area using BAIMAP The project known as Broadband and Associated Infrastructure Analysis Project (BAIMAP) was developed by Blue Sky Net and has identified gaps in existing service areas and led to the creation of OIAM. BAIMAP can provide the bandwidth available in serviced areas and clusters of demand for the service in these under- and unserved areas. This has been done by mapping and analyzing the existing bandwidth capacity or gaps in all areas, and by mapping demand based on population data and ‘self-identified’ customers on a Geographic Information System (GIS). We can provide more detailed community broadband maps. The maps combine population and dwelling statistics with known broadband coverage. Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) – Communications Market Reports The CRTC regularly issues the Communications Market Reports that provide updates on the radio-television and telecommunications industries in Canada. These reports provide insights into updates in access, affordability, and usage trends. ISED Broadband Data The Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) provides publicly available broadband data for all of Canada. The National Broadband Data represents coverage information across Canada for existing broadband service providers with their associated technology types. Ontario Connects Data The Ontario Connects map shows where high-speed internet access is currently available in communities across Ontario (defined as 50Mbps download and 10Mbps upload speeds, or 50/10) and where the provincial government is funding new high-speed internet projects. Key Findings From The 2026 Northern Ontario Broadband Report While the percentage of households in Ontario are 96.4% covered with 50/10 Mbps, Northern Ontario connectivity statistics are vastly different.Only 77% of Northern Ontario households have access to 50/10 Mbps.Removing the 5 biggest cities in Northern Ontario (North Bay, Timmins, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Sault Ste Marie), the remaining households that make up just over half of the households in Northern Ontario have 60% of households covered with 50/10 Mbps (up 4% from 2024).Funded broadband projects in Northern Ontario are taking longer for completion than the rest of Ontario.Project completion rate for Northern Ontario as of Oct  2025 is 19%.Project completion rate for broadband projects outside of Northern Ontario as of Oct 2025 is 52.5%. Government of Canada The Government of Canada understands all Canadians need high-speed internet to connect with their families, places of work, education and access to essential medical services. Canada has multiple programs that will help more Canadians connect and have access to high-speed internet. Government of Ontario The Government of Ontario is committed to assisting Ontarians with access to reliable internet and cellular access to help us stay in touch with family and friends, have access to public services like health care and education, and to run our businesses and work from anywhere. Universal Broadband Fund (UBF) The $3.225 billion Universal Broadband Fund supports high-speed Internet projects across the country. These projects will bring Internet at speeds of 50/10 Megabits per second (Mbps) to rural and remote communities. Accelerated High-Speed Internet Program (AHSIP) The Government of Ontario has committed nearly $4 billion to connect every region in Ontario to reliable, high-speed internet by the end of 2025. This is the largest single investment in high-speed internet, in any province, by any government in Canadian history. CRTC Broadband FUND The CRTC’s Broadband Fund will provide up to $750 million over its first 5 years. These funds will support projects to build or upgrade access and transport infrastructure to provide fixed and mobile wireless broadband Internet access services in eligible underserved areas across Canada. Rural Ontario Municipal Association – Resources for Municipalities Broadband Connectivity – A Municipal Primer Broadband Connectivity – A Municipal Roadmap ROMA is the rural municipal voice of the Province of Ontario. It promotes, supports, and enhances strong and effective rural governments. ROMA members work closely with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). AMO is a non-partisan, non-profit association that advocates for Ontario’s 444 municipal governments. Together, these associations work to achieve shared goals and meet common challenges, one of which is connectivity. This Primer provides a foundational briefing for municipal elected officials and their staff on the regulatory and funding regimes for telecommunications in Canada. It describes how these regimes have resulted in a digital divide between communities that are connected and those that struggle to get online. Given this context, it outlines actions that local governments can take to bring connectivity to their communities. The Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) has developed a Municipal Connectivity Roadmap for municipal elected officials and staff. It includes tangible steps and initiatives for councils to consider and implement to improve connectivity if they so choose. Supporting Broadband Advocacy And Data Collection If you are a Northern Ontario community stakeholder, economic developer, researcher or involved with an educational institution seeking to advocate for better broadband and require assistance in the form of informational resources or assistance in forming a data collection campaign, connectednorth.ca can help. Testing Northern Ontario Internet We use the information about speeds at your property to show not only the need and the impact improved Broadband Infrastructure will have, but also track improvements. This helps in supporting applications to funding agencies, show potential business cases for internet service providers to develop their networks and sometimes it can point out that there are networks issues that can be repaired.
