TL;DR

Most homes in Bedford can get cable internet, and if your home can get cable, Purple Cow can get internet to you: 100 Mbps for $60/month, flat, no contract, unlimited data, router included. Purple Fibre isn't live in Bedford yet, but we're wiring many of the new apartment buildings along the Bedford Highway and in West Bedford ahead of time. If your building has Purple Fibre equipment, the service may not be live yet. When it is, we'll let every tenant know.

Bedford keeps growing. New apartment buildings are going up along the Bedford Highway, and West Bedford is filling in with both apartments and new single-family homes. If you're moving to Bedford or you've been here for years, here's what you need to know about home internet.

The quick answer

Across most of Bedford: cable internet is widely available, and fibre to the home reaches some streets. For most households, 100 Mbps covers streaming, video calls, gaming and working from home.
If price matters most: Purple Cow's 100 Mbps plan is $60/month and stays $60/month. No promo that expires, no contract.
Moving into a new building on the Bedford Highway or in West Bedford: check whether it's been wired for Purple Fibre. If it has, you can start on Purple Cow cable now and move to Purple Fibre when it goes live.
Buying a new house in West Bedford: check your exact address before you move in, since new streets sometimes take time to show up in providers' systems.

Bedford's new buildings and Purple Fibre

Purple Fibre is our own next-generation fibre network, with upload speeds that match download speeds. It's live in parts of Halifax today. In Bedford, we're installing Purple Fibre inside many new apartment buildings, especially along the Bedford Highway and in West Bedford, so they're ready as soon as our network reaches them.

Here's what that means if you're moving in: your building might have Purple Fibre equipment in it, but the service might not be live yet. Wiring the inside of a building is only part of the job. We also need the fibre that runs along the street to connect the building to our network, and in Bedford that part is still being built.

As soon as Purple Fibre goes live in your building, we'll let every tenant know. Until then, if the building can get cable internet, Purple Cow can get you online right away. Purple Fibre's entry plan is also $60/month (for 2 Gbps, with 2 Gbps upload), so moving from our cable service to Purple Fibre later doesn't cost you more.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best internet provider in Bedford, NS?

It depends on your address. Cable internet is widely available across Bedford, and fibre reaches some streets. If you want low, predictable pricing with no contract, Purple Cow offers 100 Mbps for $60/month wherever you can get cable internet, and the price doesn't increase after a promo.

Is Purple Fibre available in Bedford?

Not yet. Purple Cow is wiring many new apartment buildings along the Bedford Highway and in West Bedford for Purple Fibre, and the network that connects them is still being built. When Purple Fibre goes live in a building, Purple Cow notifies every tenant.

My new building has Purple Fibre equipment. Why can't I sign up for it?

Purple Cow installs Purple Fibre inside new buildings before the fibre on the street is finished, so the building is ready ahead of time. Until the outside network connects, the service isn't live. You can get Purple Cow cable internet in the meantime, and we'll let you know when Purple Fibre is ready.

What internet can I get in a new West Bedford home?

Check your exact civic address with each provider, since new streets can take time to appear in their systems. If your new home can get cable internet, Purple Cow can serve it, with 100 Mbps for $60/month and no contract.
