Cancelling Bell Internet takes one phone call, but a few details decide whether you walk away cleanly or get a surprise on your final bill.
Bell does not offer a self-serve cancel button in MyBell, so you will need to speak to an agent. Before you call, it helps to know your rights under the CRTC Internet Code, what your contract says about early cancellation, and how to return your equipment so you are not charged for it. This guide walks through each step.
Quick Answer: How To Cancel Bell Internet
Find your Bell Internet account number (it starts with b1) and check whether you are on a term contract.
Call Bell at 1-866-310-2355 (1-866-310-BELL), or dial #611 from a Bell mobile phone, and ask to cancel your Internet service.
Tell the agent the date you want the cancellation to take effect, and ask for a confirmation or reference number.
Return your modem, Home Hub and any Wi-Fi pods within 30 days using Bell’s prepaid return label.
Check your final bill, which should be prorated to your last day of service.
Before You Call: What To Have Ready
Your account number. Your Bell Internet account number starts with b1 and appears on your bill and in MyBell. You will also need it for the equipment return label.
Your contract details. Check in MyBell or on your bill whether you have a commitment period and when it ends, since that determines any cancellation charge.
Your cancellation date. You can choose the day you want service to end, for example the day your new provider is installed.
A list of your other Bell services. If you have TV, home phone or mobile bundled with Internet, cancelling Internet may change what you pay for the rest.
Step-By-Step: Cancelling Bell Internet By Phone
1. Call The Right Number
Call Bell customer service at 1-866-310-2355 (1-866-310-BELL). If you have a Bell mobile phone, you can also dial #611. Bell’s support line is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Say you want to cancel your Internet service so you are routed to the right team.
2. Confirm Your Identity And Your Cancellation Date
The agent will verify your account and ask when you want service to end. Under the CRTC Internet Code, large providers such as Bell must cancel service on the day you request, so you do not need to give 30 days’ notice. Bell’s terms of service also say charges are prorated to your last day of service.
3. Expect A Retention Offer
Most people who call to cancel are offered a lower price or a promotion to stay. If you have already decided to leave, say so politely and repeat that you want the cancellation processed. If the offer is genuinely better than your alternative, it is worth considering before you hang up.
4. Ask About Your Other Services
If your Internet is part of a bundle, ask the agent exactly what your remaining services will cost once Internet is removed. Bell’s terms note that changes to your services can affect credits or offers you currently receive.
5. Get A Confirmation Number
Before the call ends, ask for a confirmation or reference number and the effective cancellation date, and write down the agent’s name and the time of the call. This is your proof if anything goes wrong later.
Can You Cancel Bell Internet Online?
Not at the moment. MyBell lets you change speeds, manage billing and temporarily suspend some services, but cancelling Internet requires contacting Bell directly by phone. Returning your equipment also does not cancel your service on its own, so make the call first.
Switching Providers? Your New ISP Will Not Cancel Bell For You
When you sign up with a new Internet provider, it does not cancel your Bell account on your behalf. You still need to call Bell yourself. A simple way to avoid a gap in service is to book your new installation first, then set your Bell cancellation date for the day after it is complete.
Early Cancellation Fees For Bell Internet
If you are on a month-to-month plan, you can cancel without a cancellation charge. If you signed up for a term with a commitment period, Bell’s terms say you must pay the cancellation charge set out in your service details. The CRTC Internet Code limits how those charges work:
If you received a subsidized device, the early cancellation fee cannot exceed the value of that subsidy, and it must decrease by an equal amount each month until it reaches $0 by the end of 24 months or your contract term, whichever is shorter.
If you did not receive a subsidized device, an early cancellation fee can only apply for the shorter of 24 months or your contract term, and must reach $0 by the end of that period.
New customers on contracts with early cancellation fees get a trial period of at least 15 calendar days (30 days for customers with disabilities) to cancel without paying that fee, as long as usage stayed within normal limits and the equipment is returned in near-new condition.
Ask the agent to tell you the exact cancellation charge, if any, before you confirm, and check it against your contract summary.
How To Return Your Bell Modem, Home Hub And Wi-Fi Pods
Rented Bell equipment must be returned within 30 days of cancelling, or non-return fees apply. That includes your modem or Home Hub, Wi-Fi pods, and any TV receivers, remotes, power adapters and cables that came with your service.
Go to Bell’s equipment return page and enter your Internet account number (the b1 number) to print a prepaid shipping label.
Pack the equipment securely. Do not put Bell home equipment in the same box as Bell Mobility devices.
Drop the box at a Purolator location or a Canada Post outlet, or book a Purolator pickup.
Keep your receipt or tracking number until the return shows on your account, which usually takes 7 to 10 days.
Do not return rental equipment to a Bell store. If a non-return fee has already been charged, the credit can take one or two billing cycles to appear once the return is processed.
Bell Equipment Non-Return Fees
Bell publishes its one-time fees, which can change. At the time of writing, these were the charges for equipment that is not returned:
Equipment
Non-return fee
Home Hub 1000 or 2000
$0
Home Hub 3000
$99
Home Hub 4000 or Giga Hub
$199
Giga Hub 2.0
$249
Wi-Fi pod, Gen 1
$50 per pod
Wi-Fi pod, Gen 2 or Gen 3
$49 per pod
Wi-Fi pod, Gen 4
$149 per pod
Wi-Fi pod, Gen 5
$99 per pod
Your Final Bell Bill
Your last bill should be prorated to your final day of service, with a credit if you paid for part of a billing period you did not use. It can take several weeks to arrive after you cancel. Check it carefully for any cancellation charge or non-return fee, and compare the service end date with the date on your confirmation.
Moving Instead Of Leaving?
If you are moving and Bell serves your new address, you may not need to cancel at all. Bell can transfer your services to the new address, and you bring your modem and receivers with you. Call before you move so the transfer can be scheduled, and if Bell cannot serve your new home, ask to cancel effective the day you leave.
Cancelling Bell Internet For Someone Who Has Died
Bell allows a family member or estate representative to cancel TV, Internet and home phone accounts, or transfer them to a new owner. Bell may ask for the account number, the account holder’s name, your relationship to them and a copy of the death certificate. Early termination fees are waived at the time of cancellation, but the estate remains responsible for charges until the service is cancelled or transferred.
Regional Differences: Quebec, Manitoba And Other Bell Brands
Quebec: Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act adds extra protection. For a fixed-term Internet contract with no discount, the cancellation fee cannot exceed the lesser of $50 or 10% of the price of the services not yet received.
Manitoba: Bell MTS customers have separate terms of service and a separate support line, 204-225-5687.
Atlantic Canada: Bell Aliant customers also have their own terms of service, so check your contract summary for the right contact details.
Virgin Plus: Virgin Plus Internet is a separate brand. Cancel through Virgin Plus, not Bell, and return equipment through Virgin Plus’s own modem return process.
What To Do If Bell Will Not Cancel Or Keeps Billing You
Start by calling Bell again with your confirmation number and asking a supervisor to correct the account. If that does not work, you can file a free complaint with the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS), Canada’s independent telecom complaints body.
You must give Bell a chance to fix the problem first.
File online through the CCTS complaint form, or call 1-888-221-1687.
CCTS refers your complaint to Bell, which has 20 days to respond, and can move to conciliation or investigation if it is not resolved. It can award remedies of up to $5,000.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cancelling Bell Internet
Do I have to give Bell 30 days’ notice to cancel Internet?
No. The CRTC banned 30-day cancellation notice policies for Internet, home phone and TV in 2015, and the Internet Code requires providers to cancel on the day you request.
Can I cancel Bell Internet in a store?
The reliable way to cancel is by phone at 1-866-310-2355. Bell also asks customers not to return rental equipment to stores, so use the prepaid shipping label instead.
What happens if I do not return my Bell Home Hub?
If equipment is not returned within 30 days of cancellation, Bell charges a non-return fee that depends on the model, ranging from nothing for older Home Hubs to $249 for a Giga Hub 2.0.
Will cancelling Internet affect my Bell mobile or TV bill?
It can. Bundle discounts are often tied to having several services, so ask the agent what your remaining services will cost before you confirm the cancellation.
Cancelling Bell Internet comes down to one call, one confirmation number and one prepaid box. Know your contract terms before you phone, pick the date you want service to end, and send your equipment back within 30 days.
If something goes wrong, your confirmation number and the CRTC Internet Code are on your side, and the CCTS is there as a free last resort.
