A fair alternative for the Prairies
For years, Saskatchewan residents have mostly chosen between SaskTel and Shaw. While SaskTel infiNET offers great technology, the prices can be steep. oxio enters the market as a refreshing alternative: utilizing the widespread Shaw cable network to deliver the same reliable speeds you know, but with a completely different business model.
Regulatory context: protecting Saskatchewan internet users
Internet service in Saskatchewan is regulated federally by the CRTC. The CRTC's Internet Code protects you by ensuring contracts are clear and that you have rights to cancel service without unreasonable penalties.
While SaskTel is a crown corporation with a mandate to serve the province, federal rules ensure that competition is possible through wholesale access. This allows providers like oxio to offer alternatives using existing infrastructure.
If you have a dispute with any provider that cannot be resolved directly, the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS) provides an independent recourse for consumers.
