Pause Your Internet While You’re Away – Save Money, Stay Connected

At Netspectrum, we know that many of our customers spend part of the year away from home. Whether you’re heading south for the winter, closing up the cottage, or simply taking a seasonal break, our Seasonal Standby options let you put your internet service on hold at a significantly reduced rate while keeping a basic connection active.

For our business customers, we understand that businesses sometimes need to scale operations seasonally, closing a seasonal location, adjusting for off-peak months, or temporarily pausing services, our Seasonal Standby options allow you to put your internet service on hold at a reduced rate while maintaining essential connectivity.

Two Seasonal Standby Options to Fit Your Needs

✔ Seasonal Standby
Stay connected at a reduced speed of 0.5Mbps for just $10/month + tax.
Perfect for keeping smart home devices like lights, thermostats, or remote access systems running while you’re away.

✔ Seasonal Standby Plus
Need a little more speed? Upgrade to 2.5Mbps upload/download for just $25/month + tax.
Ideal for keeping a more stable connection for additional smart devices or remote monitoring needs.
Only available where technology allows.

How It Works

• Flexible Duration – Pause your service for 1 to 6 months per year.
• Flat Monthly Fee – Pay a reduced rate while your connection remains active at a standby speed.
• Easy Activation – Submit your request before the 24th of the month for activation starting on the 1st of the following month.
• Seamless Reconnection – When you’re ready to return, your regular plan will resume without hassle.
