Waterloo home internet that suits the school year.
Fast unlimited home internet for a student place near UW or Laurier, an Uptown apartment, or a family home in Beechwood. No contract, unlimited data.
Internet for two universities and a lot of moving boxes.
Waterloo runs on an academic calendar. Between UW, Laurier and a co-op system that has students bouncing between terms and cities, half the town seems to move every four months. A long internet contract makes no sense. Netcrawler is month to month by design and runs on the cable network already serving the city.
It’s all unlimited and the gear is free, so it’s easy to split with roommates and easy to hand off when a lease ends. Families in the quieter neighbourhoods get the same fair promo rate.
Coverage runs street by street. The fastest way to know what you can get is to check your Waterloo address.
Why Waterloo students and families switch.
For students it’s the freedom: sign up for the term, cancel when you move for co-op, no penalty, easy to share four ways. For families it’s the clear promo rate and unlimited data. The no-contract terms and quick human support fit a town that lives online.

Reviews, awards and support people mention by name.
PlanHub named Netcrawler Best Onboarding in 2025 and Best Customer Service in 2026. The rest comes from customers who wanted internet to feel a little less like dealing with a utility.
