π° Pricing & Plans
What internet speed do I need?
For 1-2 people (streaming, browsing, email): OXIO 120 Mbps ($55/month) is perfect. You can stream HD Netflix on 2-3 devices simultaneously.
For families or work-from-home (3-5 people, gaming, video calls): OXIO 400 Mbps ($75/month) is recommended. Handles multiple Zoom calls, gaming, and 4K streaming at once.
For power users (6+ devices, 4K streaming, large downloads): OXIO 1 Gbps ($95/month) gives you maximum speed for everything.
Pro tip: Most Canadian households are perfectly happy with 400 Mbps. Don't overpay for gigabit speeds unless you truly need them.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. OXIO's pricing is all-inclusive:
- β Equipment: FREE (Wi-Fi 6 router included)
- β Installation: FREE (self-install or technician visit)
- β Shipping: FREE
- β Activation: FREE
- β Cancellation: FREE ($0 anytime)
- β Modem rental: FREE (you keep it)
The price you see is the price you pay. Forever. No surprises.
Will my price increase after a promotional period?
No. Unlike Bell, Rogers, and Telus who increase prices after 12-24 months, OXIO guarantees your price forever. $75/month today = $75/month in 2030.
Can I use referral code RH3QN29 if I'm already a customer?
No, referral codes are for new customers only. However, as an existing customer, you have your own referral code! Share it with friends and you both get rewards.
π‘ Service & Performance
Is OXIO internet truly unlimited?
Yes. All OXIO plans include genuinely unlimited data with zero restrictions:
- β No data caps (not even "soft caps")
- β No throttling during peak hours
- β No "fair use" policies
- β No overage charges
Stream 4K Netflix 24/7, download 500GB games, host Zoom meetings all day - OXIO doesn't care. Use as much as you want.
How does OXIO deliver service? Is it reliable?
OXIO uses Third-Party Internet Access (TPIA), which means they lease the same fiber and cable infrastructure used by Rogers, Shaw, Videotron, and Bell.
Same network = same reliability. You get identical quality to the big ISPs:
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- Same fiber speeds
- Same low latency for gaming
- Just 30-40% cheaper because OXIO has lower overhead
What's the difference between OXIO and big ISPs like Bell/Rogers?
OXIO uses the same physical network but operates differently:
- No retail stores = Lower overhead = Savings passed to you
- No TV bundles = No expensive sports licensing fees
- Digital-first support = No call centers = Instant chat/text help
- No contracts = Customer loyalty by choice, not force
π οΈ Equipment & Installation
Does OXIO offer Wi-Fi equipment?
Yes, it's included FREE. Every OXIO plan includes:
- β Wi-Fi 6 modem/router combo (latest technology)
- β Dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi
- β 4 Ethernet ports for wired connections
- β Coverage for most homes (up to 2,000 sq ft)
No rental fees. The equipment is yours to keep if you cancel. Compare to Bell/Rogers who charge $10-15/month ($120-180/year) for modem rental.
How fast is installation?
2-3 days for equipment delivery. Installation options:
Self-Install (93% of customers):
- Equipment arrives with clear instructions
- Takes 10-15 minutes to set up
- Just plug into existing cable outlet (same as Rogers/Videotron)
- Support available 24/7 if you need help
Technician Install:
- Also FREE (Bell/Rogers charge $50-125)
- Usually scheduled within 3-5 days
- Tech sets everything up for you
What if I need a Wi-Fi extender or mesh system?
The included Wi-Fi 6 router covers most homes. For larger homes:
- OXIO sells Wi-Fi extenders (optional)
- You can use your own mesh system (Google Wifi, Eero, etc.)
- Just connect OXIO modem in "bridge mode" and use your own router
π Switching & Account Management
Can I keep my email when switching from Bell/Rogers?
Important: ISP email addresses (like yourname@bell.net or @rogers.com) are tied to your account. If you cancel Bell/Rogers, you'll lose that email.
Solution before switching:
- Set up a free Gmail, Outlook, or Proton email
- Notify contacts of your new email
- Forward important emails to your new address
- Update online accounts (banking, shopping, etc.)
This is standard when switching any ISP - not specific to OXIO.
Do I need to cancel my old ISP before ordering OXIO?
No, don't cancel yet! Here's the correct process:
- Order OXIO and set your activation date
- Receive and set up OXIO equipment
- Once OXIO is working, THEN cancel your old ISP
- Keep old ISP active until OXIO is confirmed working
This prevents internet downtime. Budget for 1 month of overlap if needed.
How do I cancel OXIO if needed?
OXIO has no contracts, so cancellation is simple:
- Contact OXIO support (chat, text, or email)
- Provide 30 days notice
- Keep using internet during notice period
- Service stops on your chosen date
- No cancellation fee, no equipment return required
Moving? If OXIO serves your new address, just update your service location (free). If not, cancel hassle-free.
π Customer Support
What customer support options does OXIO have?
OXIO offers 24/7 support through:
- Live Chat: Average 2-minute response time
- SMS Text: Text your issue, get expert help
- Email: Usually responded within 2-4 hours
- Mobile App: Self-serve for iOS and Android
No phone support. This is intentional - OXIO found chat/text is faster and more convenient for customers. No more waiting on hold for 45 minutes!

What if something goes wrong? How quickly does OXIO respond?
OXIO's support metrics:
- Average chat response: 2 minutes

- Network uptime: 99.9% guaranteed

ποΈ Special Situations
Does OXIO work in apartments and condos?
Usually yes, but some buildings have restrictions:
β Most apartments/condos: If Rogers/Shaw/Videotron cable works in your building, OXIO will too.
β οΈ Some buildings: May have "exclusive" agreements with specific ISPs. However, these are often illegal under CRTC rules. You have the right to choose your provider.
How to check: Enter your full address (including unit number) on OXIO's website. They'll confirm if your specific unit is serviceable.
Can I use OXIO for business/commercial use?
OXIO's residential plans are for home use. For business:
- Home office / freelancers: Residential plans work great (many customers WFH)
- Small business: Residential plans may work, but check OXIO's terms
- Larger business: Contact OXIO to discuss business-grade options
What about gaming? Does OXIO have good ping/latency?
Yes. OXIO uses the same fiber/cable network as Rogers/Shaw/Videotron, so latency is identical:
- Toronto to US East servers: 15-25ms ping
- Vancouver to US West servers: 20-30ms ping
- Montreal to Quebec servers: 5-15ms ping
Many competitive gamers use OXIO with zero issues. No throttling, no packet loss.
