IPTV Dieppe

Dieppe sits on the Petitcodiac River, next to Moncton, and it’s growing: the 2021 census counted 28,114 people, up 10.8% in five years. It’s also an officially francophone city, where 63.8% of residents have French as their mother tongue. For streaming live TV, the useful local fact is that Dieppe has two fibre networks mapped right across the city. Here’s how home internet works in Dieppe, and what Boom TV needs to run well on your connection.

A village, a town, then a city

Dieppe became a town on 1 January 1952 and was designated a city on 1 January 2003. It covers about 77 square kilometres, and the region’s international airport, opened in 2002, sits about 6 km from downtown Dieppe. French is the majority mother tongue, and a majority of residents report being bilingual.

Dieppe is its own municipality, but it’s part of the Moncton census metropolitan area, along with the town of Riverview. That metro counted 157,717 people in 2021. On 1 January 2023, Dieppe also annexed parts of two neighbouring local service districts, so the 2021 figure was counted before that change.

Two fibre networks across the city

An independent coverage map built from CRTC network-owner filings splits Dieppe into 8 zones. It lists:

• Bell fibre in all 8 zones, and Bell DSL in 7.
• Rogers fibre in all 8, and Rogers cable (coaxial) in all 8 as well.
• Differ Communications, a smaller fibre owner, in 2 of 8.

These are shares of mapped zones, not of homes, so ask the providers which technology serves your own address. Still, on the map, every zone in Dieppe shows both big networks.

Boom TV runs over any of these networks. It’s an app you install and sign into. Nothing is installed on the line, and Boom TV doesn’t change anything on your internet account.

Wireless and satellite options

That coverage map also lists fixed wireless from Xplore and Rogers in all 8 zones and from Bell in 5, plus satellite from Xplore. It lists fixed wireless at 25 to 250 Mbps and DSL at 5 to 100 Mbps.

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

How much speed you actually need

Boom TV’s recommended speeds, per stream:

When a fast plan still buffers

On fibre or cable, the slow part is often inside the home:

• Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi, not 2.4 GHz. It’s faster and less crowded.
• Run Ethernet to the main TV if you can. A wired connection takes Wi-Fi out of the picture.
• Keep the router in the open, not in a cabinet or behind the TV.
• Count everyone else on the network. Video calls and downloads share the same connection.
