Internet options near Western campus
The neighbourhoods surrounding Western University have good infrastructure with multiple providers available. Richmond Row, Old North, and the areas around Oxford Street have strong connectivity options typical of established urban areas.
Student housing quality varies significantly in London. Older converted houses along Richmond Row may have different infrastructure than purpose-built student apartments near Masonville. When apartment hunting, consider asking about internet options at potential addresses.
oxio operates on the Rogers cable network in London. If cable service is available at your student housing address, oxio likely is too. The month-to-month flexibility particularly appeals to students on academic-year leases.
Fanshawe College students also find options in London's student housing market, often in different areas than Western students. The infrastructure is generally consistent across the city's core areas.
★ Why Western students choose oxio
Academic-year leases ending in April don't align with traditional 1-2 year internet contracts. oxio's month-to-month model means you can cancel when you move out without early termination fees. For students returning home for summer, this timing flexibility is valuable.
Predictable pricing helps students budget on limited income. No promotional rates that spike mid-year means your expenses stay consistent throughout the school year. The price you sign up at is what you pay.
The included eero router works well for student house layouts. The mesh-capable system handles multi-floor houses common in London's student rental market where WiFi dead zones can be frustrating.
Online account management fits student schedules. No calling during class hours or waiting on hold during exam season. Handle everything through the website when it works for you.
