Best Internet Plans in Ontario (2026)

Smaller ISPs like oxio, VMedia and TekSavvy resell the same Ontario cable and fibre lines without a term contract. Here's where the real value is, with verified prices and who owns whom.

Best internet plans in Ontario comparison infographic showing fiber giants, cable network, and independent ISPs.

If you’re in Ontario and paying Bell or Rogers for home internet, there is a good chance you’re overpaying — and a good chance the saving is smaller than the ads suggest. The exact same cable and fibre lines are resold by smaller ISPs — TekSavvy, oxio, VMedia and others — often for less, and always without the term commitment. Thanks to CRTC wholesale-rate changes finalized in 2026, those reseller prices are at their lowest in five years. The table below tracks each provider’s regular rate, so a twelve-month introductory credit does not read as the price.

One thing worth knowing before you pick one: not every cheaper brand is an independent company. VMedia is Videotron — its own site trades as “Videotron Ltd., doing business as VMedia” — and EBOX belongs to Bell, which lists it among its family of companies. oxio has been owned by Cogeco since February 2023. That doesn’t make any of them a bad deal, but if you are switching specifically to get away from an incumbent, the table below labels who owns what.

The short answer

For most Ontarians, a smaller ISP is the smart move, but read the price you will still be paying in year two, not the one on the banner. TekSavvy’s Cable 100 lists at $74.95/mo, within pennies of the $75 Rogers charges for its cheapest Ontario plan during a 24-month term, and well under the $110/mo that plan costs without Rogers’ credit; the $38.95 TekSavvy advertises is a $36/month new-customer credit that stops after twelve months. What TekSavvy keeps once the credit ends is the term: Rogers wants a commitment, TekSavvy does not. The genuinely cheap entry point in Ontario is VMedia at $38.95/mo for 30 Mbps, and if you want the simplest “set it and forget it” option, oxio is a fixed price with no annual hikes and a free router.

Why independents are so much cheaper

The big providers (Bell, Rogers) own the physical cables. But by law they must sell wholesale access to smaller companies, who then resell it to you. That’s why an independent ISP can run the same line into your home for far less — they don’t have the retail stores, the ad budgets, or the bundle-and-upsell machinery. The trade-off is thinner customer support and no TV/phone bundles.

How the big providers compare

Here’s the full Ontario picture, independents and big providers together, so you can see the gap. Rogers’ Ontario ladder starts at $110/mo for 150 Mbps and climbs to $160/mo for 2 Gbps, or $75 to $100 for the first 24 months of a 24-month term with Auto-Pay; Bell’s 1.5 Gbps fibre, which uploads at 940 Mbps rather than the matching gigabit-and-a-half, sits at $110/mo†. Every one of those is unlimited. Bell’s figure is its month-to-month price: a 2-year term takes $15/mo off it for two years, and an eligible Bell Mobility service on the same account takes off $5 more, which is how the same plan gets advertised at $90. Rogers’ lower prices all ask for that term, and the term, not the data allowance, is the real difference between this table and the independents above.

What to actually look for

  • The speed you need, not the biggest number. For most homes, 100–300 Mbps handles streaming on multiple TVs, video calls, and gaming fine. Gigabit is overkill unless you have many heavy users or move huge files.
  • Check whether it’s unlimited. Almost every Ontario plan is, oxio’s included: every tier it sells comes with unlimited downloads. A cap you go over is where a cheap-looking plan gets expensive, so read the Type column rather than assuming.
  • Watch the “promo price” trap. Big providers advertise a low rate that jumps after 12 months. Smaller providers like oxio price the same year one and year three, which often wins over the full period even when the promo looked cheaper.
  • Check your address. Internet availability is hyper-local. A plan that exists in downtown Toronto may not reach your street — always confirm your postal code on the provider’s site.

Before you switch: independents use the same physical network, so your actual speeds are typically identical to Bell’s or Rogers’ for the same tier. You’re paying less for the same pipe, not for a worse one.

Who should pick what

  • Most Ontario homes: oxio or TekSavvy — same lines, no term. With TekSavvy, price the plan at its regular rate, not the first-year credit.
  • Want a fixed price forever: oxio — no annual increases.
  • Symmetrical fibre in downtown Toronto: Beanfield, if it reaches your building.
  • You need a TV + internet + phone bundle in one bill: Bell or Rogers, and accept you’ll pay more for the convenience.

Prices update from our database and can change without notice. Internet availability varies by address — always confirm with the provider before signing up.
