Nexicom Reviews and Plans

Nexicom is a telecommunications provider whose roots go all the way back to 1898. At that time, the Turner Telephone Company was founded and served the village of Millbrook. At the time, they were the first company to bring the telephone to those areas of Ontario. Eventually, a partnership was formed with Mr. Ed Downs and the company was renamed DoCon Telephones.

When Ed Downs passed away, his sons took over the family-run business and the company was once again renamed to its present name – Nexicom.

In other words, this is a company with deep roots in telecommunications for multiple generations. When you consider that Rogers was founded in 1967, Nexicom has been around for twice as long. They know telecommunications – whether it is telephone or Internet services. Nexicom serves Ontario.

For this review of Nexicom, we will examine their Internet services and see how they stack up in comparison to Gonevoip’s top 3 Internet service providers.

Nexicom offers DSL, cable, wireless dial-up and fiber Internet packages.  

Let’s take a look at their high-speed DSL. All options include unlimited monthly usage and a one-year contract. Nexicom offers five DSL options alone, including the DSL 6, the DSL 10, the DSL 15, the DSL 25 and the DSL 50. They range in price from the cheapest (DSL 6) at $34.95 per month (for the first 3 months, before it jumps to $44.95) to the DSL 50 at $89.95 (for the first three months before it jumps to $99.95). The DSL 6 features download speeds of up to 10 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1 Mbps, while the DSL 50 features download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps.

The DSL packages all feature unlimited monthly usage, 6 email accounts, worldwide webmail access, a modem with a self-install kit provided and an option to upgrade to a wireless modem for $2 per month.  All include a reduced rate for the first 3 months before it rises to the normal rate. Dry loop fees are not included and not listed.

For Cable Internet Nexicom has the following offers:

Promo rate only applies for the first 3 full months of the service - regular rate kicks-in in the fourth month onwards.

If you live in Lakefield, Hamlet, Bridgenorth or Peterborough, Nexicom offers reduced rates for cable Internet, with the same [price ranges and download/upload speeds as the DSL packages. If you live in Ontario but outside of these cities, the price jumps to $44.95 to $99.95 (for the first three months).

Nexicom offers six fiber packages with our recommended option being the Fiber 15 which checks in at $44.95 per month (for the first three months before jumping to $54.95) and offers download speeds of up to 15 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps.

Nexicom Internet also has a bonus student plan for a one-year internet plan at 6 Mbps download speeds; however, you need to pay the full year in advance.

Finally, Gonevoip found out that Nexicom offers two wireless packages, which have none of the promotional pricing seen with the other plans. Their basic wireless package comes in at $44.95 per month with download speeds of 3 Mbps while the other option is $69.95 at 10 Mbps

In Gonevoip's review of Nexicom Home Internet Services, Gonevoip gives them major bonus points for the community service longevity, as well as the ties to the community this implies. Gonevoip likes the plethora of options that Nexicom gives the consumers. Providing numerous options, and while they may not be the cheapest option in town, for unlimited internet usage the internet plans offered by Nexicom are definitely in the reasonable range.
