Internet in Halifax: reliable speed, fair prices

Halifax residents finally have a competitive alternative for home internet. oxio is available throughout the HRM, offering a straightforward, contract-free service that respects your time and your wallet. Using the Eastlink cable network infrastructure, oxio delivers reliable speeds without the legacy telecom headaches.

A better choice for Halifax internet

For years, Haligonians have largely been stuck choosing between Bell Aliant and Eastlink. oxio brings a much-needed third option that focuses entirely on user experience and transparency. They believe internet should be a utility you don't have to stress about: no negotiating for better rates, no checking your bill for errors, and no waiting on hold.
With fast cable internet speeds suitable for everything from working from home to 4K streaming, oxio proves you don't need to sign a contract to get reliable service in Nova Scotia.

Why Halifax is choosing oxio

From the student housing of the South End to the family homes in Bedford, Halifax needs internet that is flexible and fair. oxio fits the bill perfectly.
They offer a month-to-month service with no cancellation fees, which is ideal if you're renting or just hate commitment. Plus, the plans include a top-tier eero 6 router, so you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars at Best Buy just to get good Wi-Fi in an old Victorian house with thick plaster walls.
