Most people cross-shopping eBox are coming from one of the big carriers — or from another budget brand like oxio. The pattern is the same either way: the big name leans on a promo price and a bundle, eBox leans on a lower everyday price for internet on its own.
| Feature | eBox | Bell | Videotron | Rogers | oxio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing style | Everyday price — typically about $20/mo less than the big carriers for comparable speed | Discount for 12–24 months, then the regular price applies | Discount for a set term, then the regular price applies | Discount for 12–24 months, then the regular price applies | Everyday price — built its name on stable pricing, with no promo haggling |
| Contract | No contract — cancel anytime | Internet is often no-term, but best prices are tied to promos & bundles | Internet is often no-term, but best prices are tied to promos & Helix bundles | Internet is often no-term, but best prices are tied to promos & Ignite bundles | No contract — cancel anytime |
| What they sell | Internet first — no pressure to bundle TV or mobile | Internet + Fibe TV + mobile bundles | Internet + Helix TV + mobile bundles (Quebec) | Internet + Ignite TV + mobile bundles (Ontario) | Internet only — fully online, self-serve model |

General comparison of typical advertised offers in Ontario and Quebec as of October 2026. Exact speeds, prices and availability depend on your address and current promotions — check each provider for your home before you order. The ongoing saving that matters is month 13 and beyond, once a promo price ends.
The switch most Ontario & Quebec shoppers consider.
Bottom line: Keep Bell if you need its fastest fibre tier or a full bundle. Choose eBox if you just want internet and a lower bill every month.

Bottom line: Keep Videotron if you want Helix TV and mobile in one bundle. Choose eBox if you want internet on its own for less.

They all work the same way — every eBox referral code gives the new customer and the referrer a $25 credit; none gives a bigger or recurring discount. JA698 is the code on this page. What matters is not which code you use, it's where you type it: the Referral Code field under Personal Information, not the Promo Code box.
On your second bill, after your eBox service has been installed and activated. The referrer gets their credit after your installation as well.
No.
No. eBox plans are no-contract and you can cancel anytime, which is most of the reason people switch in the first place.
The code has to be entered during the order to trigger the credit. If you ordered very recently and haven't been installed yet, it's worth calling eBox and asking — but there's no retroactive entry on the website.
No — every eBox referral code is the same one-time $25 credit; there is no recurring-discount code. The ongoing saving is the plan price itself, which runs roughly $20/month below the big carriers for comparable speeds.
They're the two closest competitors on this page: both sell internet on its own, with no contract and everyday pricing instead of promo discounts. oxio (owned by Cogeco) is fully digital and self-serve, and built its reputation on stable pricing; eBox offers more traditional support channels. Check both at your address — and if you go with eBox, code JA698 takes $25 off. The comparison table above breaks it down row by row.
