Internet in Saskatoon: no contracts, no hidden fees, no surprises

Saskatoon's internet market has long been dominated by SaskTel and Rogers (which absorbed Shaw in 2023), leaving most residents with a two-provider choice and contract-heavy pricing. oxio is available throughout the city as a month-to-month alternative that uses the Rogers cable infrastructure already in your neighbourhood, offering the same underlying network reliability with none of the contract lock-in.

Connecting the Hub City

In Saskatoon, the internet market has traditionally been a tug-of-war between SaskTel and Rogers (formerly Shaw). SaskTel offers its own fibre-to-the-home infiNET service in many neighbourhoods, while Rogers provides cable-based internet across a broad footprint of established and newer residential areas. oxio enters as a third option that rides the Rogers cable network, offering the same underlying infrastructure reliability with a simpler, no-contract pricing model.
Whether you are studying at the University of Saskatchewan, working from home in Wildwood, or raising a family in Brighton or Stonebridge, oxio provides plans with unlimited data and a consistent monthly rate. There are no promotional periods, no rate increases after six months, and no term contracts that penalize you for moving or switching. This matters especially in a city with a significant student population that moves frequently and values flexibility over lock-in.

Why Saskatoon is choosing oxio

oxio simplifies getting online in Saskatoon by eliminating the pricing games common with Rogers. There are no promotional periods that expire, no term contracts, and no equipment rental fees. oxio includes the Amazon eero 6 mesh router with every plan, shipped directly to your door, so setup at a new address typically takes under fifteen minutes.
For students at the University of Saskatchewan and renters across Stonebridge, Evergreen, and other neighbourhoods with high annual turnover, this model fits naturally. Activating service takes minutes online; cancelling requires no phone call and no penalty. oxio's billing is the same every month, which matters for budgeting on a student income or a fixed monthly rent.
Saskatoon residents on the Rogers network also benefit from the infrastructure investment made when Rogers absorbed Shaw in 2023. The cable network is well-maintained across established and newer residential areas, which translates to consistent download speeds even during peak evening hours when shared capacity is most in demand.

Local notes

  • Saskatoon's Rogers cable network covers most established neighbourhoods including Nutana, Riversdale, City Park, Stonebridge, Brighton, and Rosewood, making oxio available to a wide portion of the city.
  • The University of Saskatchewan campus area has high rental turnover, and oxio's month-to-month model is a practical fit for students who move each May or August.
  • Saskatoon winters can cause infrastructure stress, including power outages from ice storms. A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for your modem and router keeps your connection up during brief outages regardless of which ISP you use.
  • New construction in south Saskatoon may still be waiting for Rogers cable activation. oxio's address checker confirms provisioning at your unit before you commit.
