  Ya’ll I rarely tweet about companies online but I just feel a simpler option could be easily made available. Videotron has that option. Bell, you can do it too. I believe in you. Please fix this problem. It’s annoying and makes me want to just get rid of the TV option entirely.

  @N_A_Waller @HockeyScribe @AZadarski Pretty sure the Nordique’s issue was primarily le colisee. It was too small for the NHL. The new videotron centre is an NHL sized rink.

  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.

  So Bell, Cogeco, Videotron and CNOC wanted a cartel where everyone must be paying CNOC members to wholesale internet at affordable rates. **** CNOC. For Bell Cogeco, Rogers & Videotron to push this, they sure as hell want protection from another bundle player. No denying that.

  @MarkJCarney 15 min city model lacks adequate internal regulatory mechanisms. Vidéotron breaking CRTC & own regs by allowing unauthorized personal internet/tv account at my location Agora /Villa in Gatineau. Centurion failing to uphold its responsibility as service facilitator.

  " With Rogers shutting its 3G network on July 31 too, it’s likely that Freedom Mobile and Videotron’s 3G shutdown is related, since its wireless customers also roam on Rogers. “Starting July 31, 2025, one of our Canadian partners will begin shutting down their 3G network, beginning with the province of Quebec, as well as Ottawa, and it’s surrounding areas,” says Freedom Mobile. Recently, Rogers and Fido have already started cutting off working phones that were using its 3G networks, in what was deemed accidental. Rogers is also charging a $75 network fee if users continue to use 3G networks. "
