Connecting Where We Live
Xplore's technicians and dealers live and work in the small-town & rural communities across Canada that they keep connected to Internet and the world. We're neighbours, connecting neighbours.
Meet the People Behind the Connection
From field technicians and network leaders to local dealers and support teams, Xplore is powered by Canadians who know rural & small-town life — because it’s where they live.
It all starts with team members like Joel, who helps expand and maintain Xplore’s network across Ontario — from backroads to main streets. And when the workday ends, he heads home to his family’s maple farm, powered by Xplore Internet.
Joel’s story reflects something true across Xplore: the people building the network are the same people who rely on it at home, at work, and in their communities.
We’re neighbours, connecting the communities where we live.
Truly local. At your service.
With Xplore, there’s always someone nearby - ready to answer the phone, climb a tower, or show up at your door when you need help.
This local presence means help is never far away - and service is delivered by people that know and care about the community.
Local People. Real Impact.
Across Canada, Xplore teams and dealers are local heroes - bringing faster, more reliable Internet to communities that have historically been underserved.
From Xplore Dealer, Arthur Taillon supporting customers across Ontario and Quebec, to northern Manitoba communities gaining better access to education and healthcare, Xplore Internet helps rural communities stay connected and move forward.
Supporting Local Business
Choosing Xplore means supporting local businesses and the people who work alongside them.
Authorized Xplore dealers like Troy from Cumberland Satellite in Atlantic Canada play an important role in connecting homes and giving back through community events and sponsorships. At the same time, Xplore’s own employees work behind the scenes — monitoring, upgrading, and maintaining the network 24/7.
Together, they help create jobs and strengthen rural economies.
