oxio vs. Novus
Novus runs genuinely fast fibre — if your building happens to be wired for it. oxio doesn't need a specific building, and skips the contract too.
What's actually different
- Coverage is building-specific in BC; oxio is province-wide
- Fibre-only focus vs. reliable speeds everywhere
- No contract, transparent pricing
