Internet Providers in Hamilton, ON

Oxio runs on Cogeco’s cable network in Hamilton, which allows them to offer some of the best internet pricing in the city. They’re known for transparent, all-in pricing with no contracts, no hidden fees, and friendly Canadian-based support.

Their Internet 1000 plan costs $55 per month and delivers 1,000 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload, making it one of the best-value gigabit options in Ontario.

If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, the Internet 100 plan at $40 per month is a great choice for everyday use, perfect for streaming, working from home, and video calls.

All Oxio plans include free installation, a free eero 6 router, and unlimited data. Customer support is available through Messenger, Instagram, SMS, or email, and based on experience, their team is responsive and genuinely helpful.

The only drawback is that Oxio still runs on cable, not fibre, which means upload speeds aren’t symmetrical. However, for most households, the download speeds and pricing make it a top pick in Hamilton.
