  @jacquesbegood @Videotron I was told by customer service that updates are being loaded so this may be a problem for a few weeks

  I'm on a train from Toronto to Montreal, and I can't believe we can't get reliable internet for the entire trip with VIA Rail. Onboard wifi dropping constantly and even Videotron's network has terrible coverage over the entire ride. Really wish they could use Starlink somehow.

  4. Allowing vertical integration: The cable companies bought the TV networks, and the CRTC thought this would help give them bigger pockets. Bell bought CTV (and later V/Noovo), Shaw bought Global, Rogers bought Citytv, Videotron bought TVA. But it didn't help the balance sheet.

  @drewlevin IDK if you are able to put me in contact with the right person, but there has been a disconnection problem with all Videotron (Internet provider) users in Quebec, Canada since last patch... We randomly DC for 30 seconds literally every game/few times a game. Only LOL.

  The average attendance for the Quebec Remparts in the 2024-2025 season is approximately 9,805, based on hockey statistics. Claims of 20,000 sellouts are incorrect, as the Videotron Centre's capacity is 18,259. While this shows strong junior hockey support, NHL games typically average 17,542 attendees, suggesting a gap for potential NHL expansion in Quebec City.

  Cllr Ainslie asks why not emulate the model in Montreal? In 2013, Bell, Rogers, Telus and Quebec-based Videotron invested equally in a $50-million project to bring cell service to Montreal’s Metro.

  @frankcain088 @PuckReportNHL @FriedgeHNIC Absolutely, so why do they want to stick with this awful setup? I went to the QMHJL draft last summer, it was the good, old, centralized setup at the Vidéotron Centre in Québec City. That was way, way, way better.

  The absolute worst thing about switching to @Videotron s newest internet/cable is that when your cable goes down now, so does your TV :( (It goes down a lot...)
