# oxio vs. Bell Aliant

Bell Aliant is the biggest name in Atlantic Canada, and contracts tend to be part of the package. oxio is the simpler alternative — same region, no lock-in.

## FAQ

### Is oxio available where I currently have Bell Aliant?
Most likely — oxio rides the same leased cable network as the major providers in your area, so coverage usually isn't the limiting factor. Check by postal code to see the plans available at your exact address.

### Does switching from Bell Aliant to oxio cost anything?
No signup fee, no shipping charge, no equipment fee. The price you're quoted at checkout is the price on your first bill — nothing extra shows up once you're already a customer.

### How long does switching from Bell Aliant take?
Usually just a few days from signup to being online. Keep your Bell Aliant service active until oxio is confirmed working, then cancel — that avoids any gap in your internet.

### What happens to my Bell Aliant equipment when I switch?
Return it through Bell Aliant's own process once you've cancelled — oxio ships you its own equipment regardless, so there's no overlap or workaround needed.
