How to cancel Bell internet — 5 steps
- Sign up for Ebox first — go to ebox.ca, enter code OR181, wait for modem (3–5 days), confirm it works
- Check your Bell contract — log in to bell.ca or call to confirm if you're within a 2-year promo contract and what the cancellation fee is
- Call Bell: 310-2355 — say "cancel internet service." You'll be transferred to retentions. Decline offers. Say: "I've set up a new provider. Please cancel effective [date]."
- Get confirmation — ask for confirmation number and effective cancellation date in writing
- Return Bell equipment — via UPS with Bell's prepaid label within 30 days. Keep receipt. Non-return charges: $150–$300.

What Bell will offer to keep you
Bell retentions will offer discounts to prevent cancellation. Common offers: $10–$20/month off for 12–24 months on a new 2-year contract; speed upgrade at same price; bundle discount.
Even with a $20/month loyalty discount, Bell 500 Mbps = ~$85/month vs Ebox = ~$55/month. That's still $30/month more = $360/year more — and you'd re-enter a 2-year contract.
