Your family is looking forward to unwinding and having fun at the cottage.

To help free up more of your time,

Enjoy a slow pace and fast internet
Stay connected at the place you go to disconnect. After a long drive, you need access to Wi-fi as soon as you arrive. Give your family fast, reliable, rural internet with Smart Hub, powered by the TELUS 5G and LTE Network.
Your family can watch, browse, shop, game and stream, on all their devices in any room. It’s more fun for your kids to make and share TikTok videos with internet that’s reliable. When you work remotely, you won’t have to worry about lagging, being dropped from calls and poor video quality. Your kids can finish their homework and attend summer school virtually.
Take in the view and view your favourite entertainment
You want to be able to watch all the things you love at your home away from home. Stay on top of the latest news, watch live TV, catch a game or binge watch a popular Netflix series on your big-screen TV, tablet or smartphone any time you want. Take your pick of movies for every age and genre. You’ll have plenty of things to choose from on family movie nights, when it’s raining or when you need to retreat inside from the bugs.
Optik TV lets you customize your TV favourites, streaming services, apps and much more so you don’t miss out on anything. Plus, you can bundle your streaming services with Stream+ and save.
Let your smart home do the work for you
Simplifying everyday tasks frees up more time for you and your family to sunbathe on the dock or take selfies on floaties.
Smart home solutions
give you the flexibility and convenience to schedule your lights, open doors remotely and adjust your home’s temperature, all from an app.Play it safe with smart lights that turn on before you arrive at the cottage when it’s dark. Create the ideal ambience when entertaining guests at your dinner party on the deck. Set up a bright space to focus on work or a warmly lit, cozy area to read, depending on your activities and mood. If you’re walking the dog and forget to lock the front door, or need to let in your kids, no problem, smart locks allow you to do it with a tap of an app. Easily control your garage door from anywhere with your phone. Don’t worry about watering your lawn, kick back and relax with an automated lawn irrigation system. This conserves water and saves you money. Spend more time on the boat than at home some days? An energy and money-saving smart thermostat can adjust your vacation home’s temperature when you’re gone and gets the temperature just right when you’re there.
