Internet options in St. John's
The internet market in St. John's has historically been dominated by Rogers (cable) and Bell Aliant (fibre), leaving residents with limited alternatives to these major providers. While competition has been restricted in the past, oxio now offers Newfoundlanders a genuinely different choice that prioritizes customer experience over contracts. By using the existing Rogers cable infrastructure, oxio delivers reliable high-speed internet to the entire St. John's metro area without the long-term commitments or confusing promotional pricing that characterizes the big players.
From the colourful row houses of the Battery to the suburban communities of Mount Pearl and Paradise, oxio provides consistent connectivity for everything residents need in their daily lives. The service supports MUN students with demanding coursework, remote workers serving mainland clients across time zones, and families streaming entertainment during the long Newfoundland winters.
★ Why St. John's chooses oxio
Memorial University students particularly appreciate oxio for its flexibility that matches the realities of student life in Newfoundland. The month-to-month plans mean students can head home to other parts of the province or country for the summer, or switch apartments between semesters, without worrying about cancellation fees or contract penalties. This freedom to pause and restart service as needed saves students significant money over their university years.
For St. John's residents who are tired of the annual ritual of calling retention departments to negotiate lower bills, oxio represents a refreshing change in how internet service should work. The price displayed when you sign up is the price you pay every month, with no promotional rate that expires and doubles your bill unexpectedly. The modem and premium eero 6 router are included in the monthly price, and the service offers simple, honest internet without the games.
