Why oxio in Montreal?
Montreal's the biggest market in the province for providers to fight over, and the pitch that actually holds up in a city this competitive is simple: the price you sign up at is the price you keep.
What oxio costs in Montreal
We keep an eye on oxio's prices in Montreal so you don't have to. The postal code we watch here is H2X 1B1. Last time we checked, on October 5, 2026, oxio had 5 internet plans there on the Vidéotron network, from $50 to $75 a month. Your own street can differ a little, so you'll see your exact options when you sign up.
- Network: oxio runs these plans over the Vidéotron network here.
- Lowest price: 30 Mbps for $50 a month.
- Worth noticing: 500 Mbps costs the same $75 as 200 Mbps, so if you were about to pick 200 Mbps, take the faster one.
- Fastest plan: 500 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up for $75 a month.
- oxio's own pick: 60 Mbps is the plan oxio marks "Most popular".
- Bigger home? One Wi-Fi device comes with every plan. A 2-device mesh setup is $6 a month more.
- Upload: from 10 Mbps on the 30 Mbps plan to 50 Mbps on 500 Mbps. If you work from home, compare the upload column, not just download.
- Across Quebec: oxio runs on 2 different networks in the 25 Quebec cities we watch: 15 on Vidéotron, where plans start at $50; 10 on Cogeco, where plans start at $25. Montreal is on Vidéotron.

Vidéotron's hometown, and the network oxio rides
Vidéotron isn't just present in Montreal, it's headquartered here, on rue Saint-Jacques downtown, and its cable network covers the city along with most of Quebec's other major metros [2]. oxio lists Vidéotron as one of the network backbones it rents [1], so in Montreal, switching to oxio typically means the same coaxial line into your apartment, under a different company's pricing.
The other wired option is Bell's fibre network. Bell has been extending gigabit-tier Fibe service across Quebec, including a Wi-Fi 6E hub rollout it confirmed was available province-wide as of its September 2022 Fibe Gigabit 8.0 announcement, made from Montreal itself [3]. Which one is wired into your specific building is the detail that actually decides your options, not the neighbourhood in general.
What changed for Montreal switchers this year, and what the lists get wrong
As of June 12, 2026, the CRTC banned every Canadian ISP and wireless carrier from charging a fee to activate, change, or cancel a plan [4]. That applies to Vidéotron, Bell, and everyone else selling in Montreal — a real, dated change, not a policy that's always been true.
A lot of "best internet in Montreal" roundups still list Fizz and EBOX as scrappy independents next to Vidéotron and Bell. Fizz is Vidéotron's own discount brand [2], and EBOX has been part of Bell since Bell bought it in February 2022 [5]. Neither is a third option on a different network. oxio, for its part, has no term contract and charges $0 for activation, installation and shipping, with the modem lent [6, 1].
