Does Public Mobile have any home internet plan?

No, they do not.

@ss22 : That's a broadly written question. You can insert a Public Mobile SIM into those wifi/cell hubs like the Telus SmartHub. But you can also just hotspot off your phone.

Using pm for home internet would be very expensive when comparing it to the price per GB that home internet plans offer. Using a service like telus smart hub mention by @Anonymous can be a more affordable option if you cannot access traditional wired internet services.

Public Mobile’s model wouldn’t work well for internet even if they had internet services which they don’t. The cheapest internet options I saw are offered by gemstelecom.

In the maritimes, there’s Xplornet. They work similar to how Public would with a smart hub but the towers are for use only with smart hubs so they wouldn’t be as high load.

Hi @ss22 no, Public Mobile does not have home internet plan. But Public Mobile family Telus and Koodo do in Alberta, BC and Quebec.

Have a wonderful day

Yes, pm plans are very expensive to use as home internet. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for letting me know how can I use pm sim into wifi/cell hubs. However all the plans look very expensive comparatively to available home internet plans. I appreciate your help.
