Internet Service

In today's world, high-speed internet service has become as vital as other utilities; like water and electricity. It is the gateway for everything from news to education, dining, and all matters of entertainment, from music to gaming - and even what we used to call "TV". For most Canadians, a reliable and high-speed internet connections is now a foundational part of both work and family life. 

The Town of Erin is making a concerted effort to bring High Speed Internet to our community. The following programs and providers are helping us do that. 

Government of Canada Internet Performance Test

The government of Canada is looking for feedback about internet service availability nation-wide. 

The information will be used to help improve Innovation, Science and Economic Development's (ISED) National Broadband Internet Service Availability Map and guide and assist in the delivery of ISED programs. 

To provide feedback on broadband access, one of the community's top priorities, contact ISED Canada via email or take the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) speed test at performance.cira.ca. Learn more about how the speed test works.

Building better internet service and connectivity in Wellington County.

Most of Southwestern Ontario is not served by fibre optics today. A lot of rural areas don't even have access to internet.

Where can I access public computers and Wi-Fi in Erin?

In a 2012 study, a reported 14% of Wellington County residents did not have access to the Internet in their home. Increasingly, information can only be found online, with students, job seekers, and small business owners relying on access. The public computers and free Wi-Fi already available in our library branches continue to see increased use every year.
