Internet access is a monthly subscription to access a physical infrastructure. Modern internet connections use cable such a COAX or fiber optics to deliver TV and internet to homes across Canada. Once the cables are in place and the installation is complete, customer interactions or maintenance outside of accidents and the degradation of cables over time is typically not needed. The average life span of a fiber-optic cable ranges from 20 to 40 years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Yaméogo |first=Banti Laure Mathilde |last2=Charlton |first2=Douglas W. |last3=Doucet |first3=David |last4=Desrosiers |first4=Christian |last5=O’Sullivan |first5=Maurice |last6=Tremblay |first6=Christine |date=25 Jan 2021 |title=Detecting Performance Degradation in Fiber-Optic Cables |url=https://www.etsmtl.ca/en/news/detecting-performance-degradation-fiber-optic-cables |url-status=live |access-date=14 May 2025 |website=www.etsmtl.ca}}</ref> | |||
