About Oxio Internet
A Cogeco-owned Canadian internet provider built on transparent pricing, no contracts, and a digital-first customer experience
Oxio is a Canadian independent internet service provider founded in Quebec City in 2019 with a simple goal: make internet billing transparent and get rid of the fees, contracts, and price surprises that define the incumbent telecom experience. In February 2023, Oxio's internet business was acquired by Cogeco Communications (TSX: CCA) for roughly $100 million, giving Oxio the backing of a company with over 1.6 million broadband customers and decades of network experience, while keeping its no-contract, transparent-pricing model intact.
As a wholesale-based ISP, Oxio does not own last-mile infrastructure. It purchases network access from Videotron (Quebec), Cogeco and Rogers (Ontario), Rogers, formerly Shaw (BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan), and Bell DSL in select areas, then resells connectivity at meaningfully lower prices than the carriers charge directly. This model lets Oxio focus its resources on customer experience, itemized billing, and its self-serve app rather than physical infrastructure.
Oxio has built a nearly five-star average across 500+ customer reviews, a rare result for a Canadian ISP. Its core differentiators: a free eero 6 WiFi 6 router with every plan, no data caps, no term contracts, a 60-day money-back guarantee, no activation fees (now also CRTC-mandated as of June 2026), and itemized bills that show exactly what you're paying for. In Cogeco-served pockets of Ontario and Quebec, Oxio also offers what is currently one of the cheapest gigabit internet plans in the country.
Historically Stable Pricing
Oxio has a documented track record of keeping prices stable for existing customers, and has lowered prices in some cases rather than raised them. There are no promotional rates that quietly expire and no annual "market adjustment" hikes like the Big Three. Wholesale cost changes set by the CRTC can still create pressure over time, but Oxio's public commitment is to avoid surprise increases and pass on savings where it can.
Digital-First, Canadian-Based Support
Support runs through chat, email, and phone, staffed in Canada in English and French, with the Oxio app handling most self-serve needs: plan changes, device management, parental controls, and speed tests. No robotic call-centre scripts and no long transfer chains.
Free eero 6 WiFi Router Included
Every Oxio plan includes a free eero 6 (WiFi 6) router in the monthly rate, with no rental fee ever. Additional eero 6 units are available for mesh coverage in larger homes for a small monthly add-on. Note that the included router is WiFi 6, not WiFi 6E, so gigabit subscribers chasing max wireless throughput may want a supplementary router.
Free Self-Installation
A pre-configured modem and router ship by courier, and most customers are online in under 20 minutes with no technician visit and no installation fee. Where a technician is genuinely required (some DSL activations), Oxio coordinates it at no extra charge.
Itemized, Transparent Billing
Oxio's bill shows the wholesale network cost, its own service margin, and applicable taxes as separate line items, with equipment already included in the total. No unexplained "network access fee" or "regulatory recovery charge" padding the bill like the incumbents.
No Contracts, No Credit Check, 60-Day Refund
Month-to-month service, no early termination fees, and no credit check at signup. New subscribers also get a 60-day money-back guarantee, the longest trial window of any major Canadian ISP, so switching carries essentially no risk.

Understanding Oxio's Pricing Model
- • Historically stable, itemized pricing: Oxio has a track record of keeping prices flat for existing customers and, in some cases, lowering them. There is no promotional rate that quietly resets and no annual "market adjustment" like the Big Three carriers apply. Every bill shows the wholesale cost and Oxio's margin separately.
- • All-inclusive rate: The monthly price includes internet service, the free eero 6 router, unlimited data, and digital support. No separate equipment rental or activation charge, and as of June 2026 the CRTC bars all Canadian ISPs from charging activation fees anyway.
- • Address-specific availability and pricing: Plans and prices vary depending on whether Videotron, Cogeco, Rogers, or Bell DSL infrastructure serves your address. Use the address checker through our link to see the exact plans and prices for your home.
- • TOPINTERNET promo code: New customers who sign up through our link and use code TOPINTERNET get their first month of Oxio internet free. No obligation and no contract extension, and it stacks with the standard 60-day money-back guarantee.
Oxio Coverage Across Canada
Oxio operates in six Canadian provinces through wholesale access to Videotron, Cogeco, Rogers, and Bell networks, with its strongest presence in Quebec and Ontario
Provincial Coverage
Oxio provides internet service across six provinces using wholesale access to multiple carrier networks. Coverage is strongest in Quebec and Ontario, with a growing footprint in Western Canada:
Quebec (Primary Market)
Comprehensive Quebec coverage: Montreal, Quebec City (headquarters), Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Trois-Rivières, and most Quebec urban and suburban areas. Service runs primarily through Videotron cable, with Bell DSL and pockets of Cogeco cable in some communities. Quebec customers typically have the widest plan selection and most competitive pricing, plus full bilingual support.
Ontario (Major Market)
Strong Ontario presence: Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Windsor, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, and hundreds of Ontario communities. Service runs through Rogers cable across most of the GTA, with Cogeco cable in parts of the Golden Horseshoe and Eastern Ontario delivering the cheapest gigabit plan on offer, and Bell DSL where cable is unavailable.
British Columbia
BC market: Vancouver, Victoria, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, and other major BC communities. Service runs over Rogers cable, which absorbed Shaw's Western Canadian network following the 2023 merger. Coverage is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island urban areas.
Alberta
Alberta operations: Calgary, Edmonton, and select communities, delivered through Rogers (formerly Shaw) cable infrastructure. Coverage is expanding but still more limited than Quebec and Ontario, with urban centres having the best availability.
Manitoba & Saskatchewan
Prairie provinces: Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, and select prairie communities through Rogers wholesale arrangements. Coverage is more limited than central Canada but growing, so address verification matters more here than anywhere else in Oxio's footprint.
No Atlantic or Northern Coverage
Coverage limitations: Oxio does not currently serve the Atlantic provinces or the northern territories. Service is limited to six provinces: Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Atlantic Canada residents should consider Bell, Rogers, or regional independent providers instead.
Oxio Service Features & Benefits
What every Oxio plan includes, and where the service has genuine trade-offs
Unlimited Data on Every Plan
No monthly caps, overage fees, or throttling on any Oxio plan. Stream, download, and work from home without monitoring usage. One fixed monthly fee regardless of how much data you use.
Historically Stable Pricing
Oxio has consistently avoided the annual price hikes that come with Big Three plans, and has lowered prices in some markets rather than raised them. No promotional pricing that expires after 12 or 24 months.
Canadian-Based Support
Support via chat, email, and phone, staffed in Canada in English and French. The Oxio app and self-serve portal handle plan changes, billing, and network settings without needing to contact anyone.
Free eero 6 WiFi Router, Always
Every plan includes an eero 6 modem/router combo at no extra cost. Additional eero 6 units are available for mesh coverage in larger homes for a small monthly add-on. Equipment ships back prepaid if you cancel.
Oxio App Network Management
The Oxio app gives full control from your phone: connected devices, usage monitoring, device prioritization, parental controls, guest network, and speed tests, all without the technical complexity of a router admin panel.
Free Self-Installation
Most customers get set up in under 20 minutes with a pre-configured modem and router shipped by courier, and no installation fee. Saves the $50 to $150 typical installation charge from bigger providers.
Itemized, Transparent Billing
Every bill shows the wholesale cost and Oxio's margin as separate line items, with equipment already folded into the rate. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
No Contracts, No Credit Checks
Month-to-month service, no early termination fees, and no credit checks. Reflects confidence in retaining customers through service quality instead of contract lock-in.
1 Free Month With Code TOPINTERNET
New customers who sign up through our link and enter promo code TOPINTERNET get their first month of service free, on top of the standard 60-day money-back guarantee.
Important Service Considerations
- • eero 6 router limitation for gigabit plans: The included router supports WiFi 6, not WiFi 6E, so gigabit-plan customers may not hit full wireless speeds over WiFi alone. WiFi 6's real-world ceiling is roughly 600 to 800 Mbps. Wired ethernet connections reach the full speed regardless, and a separate WiFi 6E router is an option if you want maximum wireless throughput.
- • Dependent on underlying carriers: Service quality depends on Videotron, Cogeco, Rogers, or Bell infrastructure. As with any wholesale reseller, Oxio subscribers may see lower network priority than direct carrier customers during peak congestion, though most customers report performance matching direct carrier service.
- • No TV or home phone bundles in most markets: Oxio is internet-only in the large majority of its footprint. Households that need a bundle should factor that in before switching.
Oxio Technology Overview
Oxio delivers internet through wholesale access to cable and DSL networks with a focus on digital tools, transparency, and customer experience
Wholesale Infrastructure Model
Oxio operates as a wholesale-based independent ISP, purchasing network access from major carriers and layering its own digital tools and customer experience on top:
- • Videotron cable (Quebec): Oxio's primary Quebec wholesale partner, delivering reliable speeds across Montreal, Quebec City, and surrounding areas. Quebec customers on Videotron infrastructure typically see some of the best performance in Oxio's network.
- • Rogers cable (Ontario, BC, AB, MB, SK): Rogers HFC cable, including the former Shaw network in Western Canada following the 2023 merger, delivers most of Oxio's Ontario and Western Canada speeds, from 30 Mbps up to 1 Gbps.
- • Cogeco cable (parts of Ontario and Quebec): Since Cogeco acquired Oxio's ISP business in February 2023, Cogeco-served addresses in parts of the Golden Horseshoe, Eastern Ontario, and select Quebec communities get Oxio's most aggressive pricing, including the $55/month 1 Gbps plan.
- • Bell DSL (select areas): Where cable isn't available, Oxio offers DSL over Bell's copper phone lines, typically 30 to 50 Mbps depending on distance from the network node. DSL is Oxio's least common connection type and mainly a fallback.
- • Digital platform differentiation: Oxio invests in its account portal, app, automated billing, and self-installation process rather than owning physical network infrastructure, a software-first approach to a traditionally hardware-first business.
- • eero WiFi 6 integration: Oxio's partnership with eero (an Amazon company) provides a WiFi 6 router with every plan, app-managed, with mesh expansion available for larger homes.
Oxio vs. Rogers, Bell & Other Providers
How Oxio stacks up against the incumbents and other independent ISPs on price, contracts, and equipment
| Provider | ~120 Mbps (ON) | ~1 Gbps (ON) | Contract | Free Router | Money-Back |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oxio ⭐ Our Pick | $63/mo | $55–$90/mo | None | Yes (eero 6) | 60 days |
| Rogers Xfinity | ~$75/mo | ~$110+/mo | 2-yr for promo | Rental | Limited |
| Bell Fibe | ~$70–$75/mo | ~$110+/mo | 2-yr for promo | Rental | Limited |
| TekSavvy | ~$44/mo (100 Mbps) | ~$69/mo | None | No | No |
| Netcrawler (ON only) | ~$44/mo (100 Mbps) | ~$75/mo | None | No | No |
Against Rogers and Bell directly, Oxio's 120 Mbps plan saves most households $150 to $500 a year, often on the exact same underlying cable network, once equipment rental and post-promo pricing are factored in. Budget independents like TekSavvy and Netcrawler undercut Oxio at entry-level speeds but skip the free router and the money-back guarantee, and Netcrawler's promotional pricing resets after 12 months. Oxio's flat, non-promotional rate is a meaningful difference for anyone who has been burned by a rate reset before.
Frequently Asked Questions About Oxio Internet
Quick, direct answers to the most common questions about Oxio plans, pricing, and the TopInternet promo offer
For most Canadian households, the 120 Mbps plan at $63/month is the best all-round choice, with enough bandwidth for 4K streaming on multiple devices, video calls, and remote work. If your address is served by Cogeco infrastructure in parts of Ontario or Quebec, the 1 Gbps plan at $55/month is one of the best gigabit deals available from any Canadian ISP.
No. All Oxio plans are month-to-month with no term contract and no cancellation fee. New subscribers also get a 60-day money-back guarantee, and as of June 2026 the CRTC prohibits Canadian ISPs from charging activation, modification, or cancellation fees.
Check your address availability and sign up through our link, then enter promo code TOPINTERNET at checkout to get your first month of Oxio internet free. There's no obligation and it doesn't extend or create a contract.
Yes, every Oxio plan includes a free eero 6 (WiFi 6) router at no additional charge, with no rental fee. This alone saves roughly $10 to $15 a month compared to Rogers or Bell, which charge separate equipment rental fees.
Oxio operates in six provinces: Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Availability within those provinces depends on whether Videotron, Cogeco, Rogers, or Bell DSL infrastructure reaches your specific address. The only reliable way to confirm is to enter your full address through the availability checker.
Oxio typically undercuts Rogers and Bell by $10 to $45 a month for comparable speeds, running on much of the same physical cable infrastructure, minus the term contract, minus the equipment rental fee, and minus the promotional-rate reset after 12 or 24 months.
New subscribers who are not satisfied within the first 60 days can get their service charges refunded. It's the longest money-back window offered by any major Canadian internet provider, making a switch to Oxio essentially risk-free.
Oxio has a strong track record of keeping prices stable for existing customers, and has lowered prices in some cases when wholesale costs allowed. It cannot guarantee prices will never move, since CRTC wholesale rate decisions can create cost pressure, but its public commitment is to avoid unexpected increases, unlike Rogers, Bell, and Telus, which raise prices annually for most customers.
Oxio's internet service business was acquired by Cogeco Communications (TSX: CCA) in February 2023 for approximately $100 million. Oxio kept its independent, transparent-pricing brand and model, while gaining Cogeco's network scale and resources.
Oxio ships a pre-configured modem and eero 6 router by courier. Self-installation typically takes under 20 minutes: plug in, connect, and follow the in-app instructions. Where a technician visit is genuinely required, mostly for some DSL activations, Oxio coordinates it at no extra charge.
