About Us

DiFFER is a facilities-based, CRTC-registered non-dominant carrier and broadcast distribution undertaking. This means that we build our own fibre and infrastructure to reach buildings that we service — we don’t wholesale or resell other carriers’ services, providing wholly DiFFER services, end-to-end. Because we own all of the infrastructure, we are able to offer best-in-class services for the lowest price. This extends to our own television broadcast infrastructure, a wholly in-house DiFFER service, not a white-labelled off-the-shelf IPTV service like some other small players do.

History

DiFFER was founded in 2022 by a small group of multi-family building owners and building developers in Atlantic Canada as a means to provide differentiated telecommunications services aimed at the multi-family building market. After spending more than a year in regulatory processes, establishing and constructing industry standards and best practices for Internet service infrastructure, broadcast television infrastructure and content owner connectivity, and building fibre cabling infrastructure, DiFFER started offering services to multi-family buildings in 2023.

Today, DiFFER remains locally owned in Atlantic Canada between a small group of investors, and continues to expand our geographic reach and serviceability map.
