Backup Internet for Hamilton Businesses.

Reliable backup internet for Hamilton businesses that can't risk downtime.

Downtime Doesn't Discriminate.

The average internet connection goes offline 43 minutes every month—and it rarely happens when it’s convenient. Whether you’re ringing up a sale or answering a client call, every minute offline costs you.

From Locke to Ottawa Street, Hamilton’s retail and services businesses rely on Fidalia’s OnePort™ backup internet to keep calls, payments, and cloud systems running without fail.
