In light of the new CRTC wholesale access framework, CipherKey Exchange Corporation is proud to announce the expansion of its wholesale internet and network partnership program to ISPs across Canada. This initiative opens new opportunities for independent providers to leverage CipherKey’s proven infrastructure, extensive network reach, and 20+ years of industry experience in delivering reliable, carrier-grade connectivity.
Empowering ISPs Under the New Regulatory Landscape
The CRTC’s latest direction on wholesale access is designed to increase competition and improve affordability for Canadians by making it easier for smaller ISPs to access last-mile networks. CipherKey fully supports this mission.
As part of this framework, CipherKey is extending its wholesale fibre, DSL, and cable access to new regions — including partnerships with Bridge Net, Q Net, and other regional carriers — to provide ISPs with greater reach and flexibility in building their own broadband offerings.
What This Expansion Means for ISP Partners
CipherKey’s enhanced wholesale program allows ISPs to:
- Access new last-mile connections through expanded partnerships across Canada, from Western regions to Ontario and beyond.
- Transport traffic to the Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) for free peering with top global content providers including Google, Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon.
- Deliver high-quality internet, bonded connections, and IPTV services under their own brand using CipherKey’s network backbone.
- Host and manage operations within CipherKey’s downtown Vancouver datacenter, offering redundant fibre loops, direct VANIX and SIX connectivity, and carrier-grade infrastructure.
CipherKey’s growing list of network and wholesale partners ensures that ISPs can compete effectively in a rapidly changing marketplace — offering faster speeds, broader coverage, and lower costs to end users.
A Shared Commitment to Connectivity
Through partnerships with providers like Bridge Net and Q Net, CipherKey strengthens its role as a unifying force in Canada’s ISP ecosystem — connecting independent carriers, rural networks, and community-based providers into a nationwide framework of shared connectivity.
This collaborative approach not only expands network access but also ensures greater diversity, redundancy, and resiliency in the Canadian broadband landscape.
