Cheap internet in Regina: Queen City options for every budget

Regina, Saskatchewan's capital city with over 230,000 residents, has long been dominated by the SaskTel and Shaw duopoly. While SaskTel's crown corporation status brings some accountability, prices can still be steep. oxio enters the market offering a refreshing alternative: using Shaw's existing cable network to deliver reliable speeds with transparent, no-contract pricing.

Internet availability across Regina

Regina's infrastructure is generally strong throughout the city. The central neighbourhoods like Cathedral, Crescents, and the downtown core have mature cable and DSL infrastructure. Newer developments in areas like Harbour Landing, The Creeks, and Fairways West often have modern connectivity options.
SaskTel operates the province's telephone network and has invested in fibre through infiNET in some areas. Shaw (now under Rogers ownership) provides cable service throughout the city. This creates the duopoly that has defined Saskatchewan's telecom market for decades.
oxio operates as a wholesale provider on Shaw's cable network. This means the same physical infrastructure, same speeds, but with oxio's approach to pricing and customer service. For many Regina residents, this third option provides real choice.
Availability is generally excellent across Regina, but always verify at your specific address to confirm which services can reach your home.

Why Regina residents are switching to oxio

Regina's practical, value-conscious population appreciates straightforward deals. oxio's transparent pricing resonates with residents tired of promotional games and surprise bill increases. What you see is what you pay, month after month.
No contracts mean flexibility that fits Saskatchewan life. Whether you're a student at the University of Regina, a young professional just starting out, or a family that might relocate for work, you're never locked into a multi-year commitment.
The included Amazon eero 6 router eliminates equipment rental fees that add up over time. Many Regina residents have been renting modems and routers for years, paying far more than the equipment is worth.
oxio's digital-first model means no waiting on hold with customer service. Account management happens online, on your schedule, not during limited call centre hours.
