Internet options near MUN campus
The areas surrounding Memorial University, including Elizabeth Avenue, Westerland Road, and the Churchill Park neighbourhood, are densely populated with student rentals ranging from basement apartments to full houses. These neighbourhoods have been serving students for decades and have well-established internet infrastructure from both Rogers cable and Bell Aliant fibre networks. The proximity to campus makes these locations highly desirable, and landlords often leave internet arrangements to tenants.
oxio operates on the Rogers cable network throughout St. John's, delivering the same reliable speeds available directly from Rogers but with significantly more flexible terms. This arrangement is ideal for students who may be in St. John's for only part of the year, those participating in co-op work terms elsewhere, or anyone moving between rentals as their housing needs change. The month-to-month structure eliminates the complicated contract break fees that traditional providers charge.
★ Why MUN students choose oxio
The contract-free policy is the primary reason MUN students choose oxio over traditional providers. Students can have internet service for the Fall and Winter semesters and cancel when they head home for the summer, all without paying any penalty fees or early termination charges. This flexibility is particularly valuable for students from outside Newfoundland who return to their home provinces during breaks.
Transparent pricing is another significant advantage, as oxio does not use promotional rates that expire and increase mid-semester. The price you see when you sign up is the price you pay every month, which makes budgeting straightforward and eliminates the surprise of a rate hike during exam season when finances are already tight. The included eero 6 router handles the heavy Wi-Fi demands of shared student houses, where multiple roommates stream, game, and attend virtual classes simultaneously.
