New Brunswick-based rural telecom Xplornet announced on Tuesday it has rebranded to Xplore.
According to Xplore, the rebrand reflects its “commitment to being Canada’s fibre and 5G broadband company for rural living.”
New logos for its consumer and business division show new green shades, which it says are inspired by Canada’s northern lights.
“For nearly 20 years, we have chosen to focus on providing broadband to Canadians who have opted to enjoy rural living,” said Allison Lenehan, President and CEO, Xplore Inc., in a statement. “Today, Xplore is committing to the relentless pursuit of an improved broadband experience for the better everyday living of rural Canadians. We have already started with the rollout of Xplore’s new fibre-to-the-premise and 5G broadband services.”
Xplore says it continues to roll out its fibre network, which is currently available in select areas of Alberta, Ontario and Prince Edward Island, with more projects underway in seven provinces. The company is also rolling out the nation’s first rural 5G standalone network, set to offer speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
“This is the next era of our company’s story – a new name, new brand, new world-class technologies, and a renewed commitment to supporting and improving rural living for our customers,” concluded Lenehan.

No more “net” then. Maybe they can rent videotapes to people.
They are the only major ISP in Canada that does not offer a public IP address. They have no clue about networking, and despite lack of available IPv4 address space, they still don’t offer IPv6 as an alternative. At least on LTE plans. Their Double NAT nonsense is a huge headache.
There are populated places all over Canada where Xplore is the only option. Starlink also practices this Double NAT nonsense. Neither of them should be regarded as legitimate options.
Keep Xploring. Maybe one day Xplore will figure out how to do proper networking, or at least offer the public IP option to customers a la carte. What a joke.
headache is an understatement for Xplore’s multi-nat’d service.
