Same Internet, Better Price.
Being a third-party ISP has its advantages. We bring you the same internet as the big companies, but for a fraction of the price — because we believe the internet should be affordable and fast.
Saving money on home internet wasn’t always possible, until third-party ISPs changed the game. Read on to find out why third-party ISPs like Babbl are awesome.
How Third-Party Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Work in Canada
We purchase access to the big companies’ (ISPs) ‘last-mile’ network infrastructure and offer a competitive service under a different brand, Babbl Internet. Using the pre-existing cables in your neighbourhood, Babbl brings you the same high-speed internet they provide, but at a better price. Amazing, right?
As a third-party ISP, we handle branding, marketing, provisioning services, billing, and operational logistics such as supply chain, network, and customer experience. In simpler terms, the big guys handle the pipes or the wires, and we take care of everything else that goes into creating an excellent internet experience for our customers.
Why Do Third-Party ISPs Exist?
Several years ago, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) mandated that telephone and cable companies sell access to their networks to independent Internet service providers (ISPs) at regulated wholesale prices. The purpose was to enable other smaller companies to enter the market, providing consumers with more choices and increasing competition.
Yes, you read that right — giving consumers more choice. It’s a good thing!
Babbl Communications is one of those smaller companies, and our signature brand, Babbl Internet, is an additional option in the marketplace. For customers who want fast, reliable and affordable internet, Babbl is the way to go!
