Halifax keeps growing, and so does the demand for internet that actually keeps up. Whether you're in a new Clayton Park West build, a south-end heritage home near Dalhousie, or a condo along the Bedford Highway, what's available at your door depends on what's wired to your street — and that varies block by block in a city this layered. Downtown highrises, peninsula neighbourhoods like the North End and Quinpool, and growing suburbs like Spryfield and Fairview all have different infrastructure stories. Add in thousands of students arriving each fall for Dal, SMU, and MSVU, and reliable home internet has become non-negotiable. Purple Cow offers High Speed Internet across most of Halifax with plans starting at $60/month, and Purple Fibre — our own symmetrical fibre network with speeds up to 8 Gbps — is now live in select Halifax neighbourhoods. No contracts, no promotional rates that expire, no rate hikes. Just Atlantic Canadian support that knows the difference between Armdale and Clayton Park. Pop your address in below to see exactly which plans and speeds are available where you live.

Purple Fibre

We're building our own fibre network.

Nova Scotia is consistently the most expensive province in Canada for internet, and the reason is a lack of competition. The big providers own the infrastructure, so they set the price.

So we started building Purple Fibre: a network that's 100% ours and completely independent of the big guys. Every person who joins the herd helps us build it faster.

Read why we built it
8 Gbps symmetrical

Same speed up as down, with ultra-low latency. Built from scratch, not rented from someone else.

Fibre from $60

Charging less for more is the whole point. When we do it, the big guys have to follow.

Built to stay live

Our Wi-Fi modem doubles as a router, and band-steering keeps every device on the best signal in the house.

Is it on your street yet?

Purple Fibre is on the poles in Fairview and Fairmount today, and we’re building outward from there. Everywhere else still gets our standard plans, on the same support and the same fixed price.

On Purple Fibre: zero contract, zero install fee, zero setup fees

Run the address check and we’ll confirm what’s available in Halifax. If Purple Fibre reaches you, we’ll set that up with you directly.

  • Purple cow is the only internet provider you need, and the only one you should consider. The internet service itself is fast and reliable - I don't have issues streaming, working from home, etc. Also, the customer service is unmatched. They connect by phone call, text, or video call. That connection is quick, so no long wait times on a phone. I always feel like positive reviews read as generic, but this is the truth. Purple Cow is the best. A+, 10/10, 💯.

    Adam G, Halifax, Nova Scotia

  • Honestly, the internet is just as good as any other service in Halifax. In my experience it matches Bell and Eastlink. The customer service has been spectacular for me. That was the real winner. Try calling Bell and it’s a mess of being transferred and wait times… I found it so easy to communicate with Purple Cow customer service.

    Monica R, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

  • Easy to set up. Quality is excellent! I wish I would have switched years ago!! Spent soooo much over the years!! My husband is happy because he can still watch all the sports he wants 👍🏻

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Purple Fibre and your other plans?
Purple Fibre is our own fibre-to-the-home network offering symmetrical speeds from 2 Gbps to 8 Gbps. It’s currently available in select Halifax neighbourhoods. Outside Purple Fibre areas, we offer High Speed Internet with speeds from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps. The address checker confirms which is available at your home.
How does Purple Cow compare to other Halifax providers?
The biggest difference is honest pricing. We don't run promotional rates that expire and jump after a year, and we don't raise rates on existing internet customers — the price you sign up at is the price you keep. No contracts, no bundling pressure, and Atlantic Canadian–based support. Most customers switch to save money long-term, not just for a 12-month introductory window.
Do you service apartment buildings and condos in downtown Halifax?
Yes, we service most multi-unit buildings on the Halifax peninsula. Some buildings have wiring restrictions — the address checker will confirm.
How fast can I get installed in Halifax?
Most Halifax installs happen within 5–7 business days. Self-install kits ship faster if your home is already wired.
Can I keep my email address if I switch?
It depends on your current email. Carrier-specific addresses (like ones tied to your old provider) will stop working when you cancel that service. We recommend migrating to a free platform like Gmail or Outlook before switching, so your email is yours no matter who you get internet from.
