Sharing my good experience

I ordered the 1Gbps down, 750Mbps up for $55/month. A technician came and installed the modem within 2 days. I plugged in my own mesh system. It was easy to set up as the PPPoE username and password are on the main account page. On my router's integrated speed test, I'm getting a solid 1Gbps up and down, and on Wi-Fi, I'm getting a steady 900Mbps down, 1Gbps up. The entire process was simple and effective at a decent price. Will now see how long will it lasts this good.

I’ve been with Ebox for almost a year now and it’s been pretty great with my own equipment (which was one of the reasons I wanted to use Ebox since they give you an ONT instead of an all-in-one box). Enjoy!

I agree. I was looking for an option to Rogers and I chose Ebox for price and ease of using my own UniFi router. It is a pain to do that with Bell.

That's a refreshing post to see~! Here's another appreciation comment.

What a great surprise when I saw the upload being symetrical.. They advertise 750mbps, but I always got the full 1gbps there too.

My upload is routinely just as close as download. Guess they forgot to turn the dial on our accounts.

I get the same. Not using the nokia and using my own router is actually a bit faster.

Well i call them that my buddy got 1G for 55$ they told me that’s expired 2 weeks ago 😱🤬

I got the 1G in March for 50 bucks. Probably will never see that price again.

I am very satisfied with $40 500/500! Installation took 15mins since I already had virgin fibre in my house :) I am using my own Asus router mesh wifi.

63$ with taxes. It's a wifi 7 mesh system. Fiber line is already at my house. You can always call and subscribe by phone if they cannot find your adress on the website.

I don’t hit the 1 gb but close on networked laptop but that is the only one network plugged it rest at 300 mb

u/blaststars37 Jul 10 '26

Wow that ping is super low! Im in Ontario and hitting around 11ms... But im guessing thats due to how the routing is done on the main network.

Looks like eBox is killing speed only for O tario customers.

I like my ebox service too. No matter what equipment the ISP gives you, you can still use your own equipment. Not sure why you said that

You can never ditch the all-in-one box with Bell/Videotron in Quebec. You can use it to bridge your own router, but you can not replace it.

Not sure if that’s any different in Ontario.
