Why Ebox is the best internet for Canadian students
- No contract: Move out at end of school year without paying cancellation fees. Rogers and Bell require 2-year contracts on promotional prices.
- Cancel anytime: Going home for the summer? Cancel in May, re-subscribe in September. No fee, no penalty.
- Self-install: No waiting for a Bell or Rogers technician. Ebox ships the modem to your address; you plug it in in 20 minutes.
- Cheapest plan starts at $40/month: Split 3–4 ways in a shared apartment: $10–$13/person per month.
- Equipment included: No separate modem rental charge. Rogers charges $15/month extra for modem — Ebox includes it free.
- $25 saving: The $25 off your first month you get with code OR181 effectively pays for your first 2–3 months. Better than any "student discount".
