IPTV Aurora

Aurora sits in central York Region, between Newmarket to the north and Richmond Hill to the south, and it had 62,057 people in the 2021 census. Its cable network has a local history, and one of its neighbourhoods has fibre built through a York Region program. For streaming live TV, what matters is the line into your home and the Wi-Fi inside it. Here’s who owns Aurora’s wired networks, what speed streaming needs, and how to test Boom TV on your own connection before you pay.

A York Region town on the moraine

Aurora is a town in York Region, with its downtown at Yonge and Wellington. It’s partly on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and it covers about 50 square kilometres.

It’s also growing. Aurora’s population rose 11.9% between the 2016 and 2021 censuses, from 55,445 to 62,057.

Aurora’s cable used to be local

Aurora once had its own local cable company, which provided cable, internet and phone service in the town and in Oak Ridges, in Richmond Hill. In February 2008, Rogers agreed to buy it, subject to CRTC approval.

Today, Rogers is the only cable owner on the network-owner map for Aurora.

Who owns the wires in Aurora

An independent coverage map built from CRTC network-owner filings (the CRTC is Canada’s telecom regulator) splits Aurora into 7 zones. Here’s what it shows:

• Rogers cable is mapped in all 7 zones, and Rogers fibre-to-the-home in 4.
• Bell fibre-to-the-home is mapped in all 7 zones, with Bell’s older DSL listed in all of them.
• telMAX, a GTA-based fibre company, is mapped in 6 of the 7 zones. In September 2026 it listed Aurora among the communities its network spans.
• Vianet, an independent provider with its head office in Sudbury, is mapped as a fibre owner in 4 zones.
• Fixed wireless from several companies, and satellite from Xplore, are mapped in every zone.

These are shares of mapped zones, not homes. Check your own address.

Boom TV is an app you install and sign into, so nothing is installed on the line. Boom TV doesn’t change anything on your internet account.

A York Region fibrehood in Aurora

York Region owns a fibre company, YorkNet. It builds “fibrehoods”, neighbourhoods equipped with fibre so that eligible residents can get high-speed internet under the federal Universal Broadband Fund, and it works with a partner, Galaxy Fibre, to connect eligible homes.

One of YorkNet’s connected communities is in Aurora, around Leslie Street and Westview Drive, where home connections started in fall 2025. If you live there, it’s one more line to compare. Eligibility is set by the program, so check your own address.

How much speed you actually need

Boom TV’s recommended speeds, per stream:

That coverage map lists Aurora’s cable at up to 1.5 Gbps and fibre at up to 8 Gbps, far more than a few streams need. Bell DSL is listed at 5 to 100 Mbps, so if you’re on DSL, test your speed before relying on 4K.

Add up your screens. A 4K TV in the living room and an HD stream on a tablet upstairs need about 35 Mbps between them.

Boom TV works on any home connection that meets the speeds above. Test it on your own line with the free trial.

When a fast connection still buffers

The cause is often inside the house:

• Use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, not 2.4 GHz.
• Run Ethernet to the main TV if you can. A wired connection takes Wi-Fi out of the picture.
• Move the router out of the basement or utility room, or add a mesh point for upstairs TVs.
• Count everyone on the network. Video calls, game downloads and cloud backups share the same connection as your TV.
• Test in the evening, in the room with the TV, when everyone at home is online.
