Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Ottawa and nearby locations:

  • 3_punch Gilles Monvoisin (@3_punch) reported from Gatineau, Québec

    So @Videotron sent a collection agency to collect $$ from my 84yr old with ALS for not returning his cablebox. The issue is that the tech who installed the box put a lock on it and we could not remove. I explained to videotron reps but they just want $$ #greedy

  • CdnAvSpotter 🇨🇦Dean Hoisak🇨🇦 (@CdnAvSpotter) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @RSwartz2013 @WeatherLandG I'm with Videotron, no issues except my phone is connected to a tower across the river in Quebec, about 10km away. The Rogbellus tower 1km away is showing offline.

  • penseur_logique Jeff 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 5x Vaxxed (3 Pf,2Mod) (@penseur_logique) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @caiobchi @cmaconthehill @CityNewsKIT Videotron competition lowered prices in Quebec. Much like MTS + Sasktel did in MB / SK. Competition for the big 3. Videotron has service outside of QC, in Ottawa, same prices as QC. The big 3 and their flanker brands would not match prices of Videotron in Ottawa. We switched.

  • Hobbit1969 Front Line Red Shirt (@Hobbit1969) reported from Gatineau, Québec

    @BigBadW0lf4Life @GreatestUncle42 @seanferrick So did I...yeah that's weird. I'm in Quebec, I have Videotron. Maybe your provider lost the signal momentarily

  • johnefrancis johnefrancis🇨🇦 (@johnefrancis) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    Hey @Videotron, the tech support handle shown in the customer centre app @videotron24_7 doesn't seem to exist.

  • ottawadeafgirl Michèle 🏡 😷 🎃 #wearshermask (@ottawadeafgirl) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @Videotron As you can see from my handle I don’t hear very well...telephone service is not great for me.

  • CdnAvSpotter Dziekan Hojsak 🇨🇦 (@CdnAvSpotter) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @itsreallypaulh @myworldtaw I agree Videotron plans and customer service is great. We have 4 phones with them, each with 20GB/month +100GB extra per year, for $45 per phone

  • Christopherprov Christopher provost (@Christopherprov) reported from Chelsea, Québec

    @Videotron seems to be a major outage but not able to contact you.

  • Paul_Morneau Paul Morneau (@Paul_Morneau) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    .@Videotron over the past couple of weeks one of your cell towers in #Barrhaven has been malfunctioning. Despite 2-4 bars of signal strength and “LTE” displayed, no cellular data works. SMS and calls still work though. Same problem on multiple devices. #Videotron

  • AllieKnitNinja Allie MacAlister (@AllieKnitNinja) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @brianjpapineau I went from Wind/Freedom to Koodo and never looked back, but I hear good things about Videotron.

  • MadameDanis Jessica Lavoie (@MadameDanis) reported from Gatineau, Québec

    @Videotron Today my family and I were helped by a young lady by JouJou. She went above and beyond as a customer services representative, my daughter started to be fed up of being in her stroller and Joujou took her played with her watched movies on her tablet with her.

  • fanCRTCProfling Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reported

    @apukwa Yup. Videotron was able to buy spectrum in the area freedom/Shaw-mobile operates because they were selling vpn service or something in Manitoba. Rules are u can't get spectrum w/o facilities. ISED allowed it calling it facilities Was a court fight. Videotron & ISED won.

  • strutswell Nick Hatswell (@strutswell) reported

    @Mae149 @Videotron I am incredibly interested to learn more about not using DNS resolution I thought it was a requirement for ipv6. Is there some other service discovery you are using?

  • CathySt35873400 Cathy Stone.No dms please! (@CathySt35873400) reported

    Mr Champagne. Videotron does not have nationwide coverage re. Is the transfer to Videotron of Shaw now going to allow Videotron full service across Canada?

  • DestroWod Destro WOD (@DestroWod) reported

    @charmer_123 @normal_andy No videotron charmer? Here it was Videotron and Blockbuster along independants. Then later Flash video became huge. Sadly most shut down now. When i lived in Sherbrooke there was a small chain call video-clip. Had one next door litterally neighbor but it closed first year i

  • strutswell Nick Hatswell (@strutswell) reported

    @Mae149 @Videotron Curious what the problem is for the vpn? Is traffic going outside vpn when DNS returns AAAA records?

  • AlsoKnownAs_AA Algis Akstinas (@AlsoKnownAs_AA) reported

    @RogerD416 No actual #MVNO will emerge under these newly detailed old decisions. Doesn't help large regionals as they already have network sharing or roaming deals (Videotron, Freedom, Eastlink). Does not help potential new entrants e.g. Cogeco or Xplorenet either. Nothing-burger. New wrap.

  • noIPv6 👻 spooky ipv6-only networking 👻 (@noIPv6) reported

    @Videotron @Mae149 agreed - if a vpn breaks in the presence of ipv6 (w/ legacy ip remaining intact), that’s a vpn problem, not an ipv6 problem 🤨 ipv6 is coming (34-37% of .ca has it NOW); if your tech falls over when it rolls out, you made implementation mistakes (& should have tested for that)

  • katielowercase lowercase? i hardly know ercase! (@katielowercase) reported

    ok so i’ll be annoyed at myself if i don’t correct this so *technically* the wifi ap in our apartment is fine (bc it’s still broadcasting a signal) and the router is fine (bc it’s assigning IPs) so something is wrong on the videotron side

  • RSmithC2 RS (@RSmithC2) reported

    @What23HasDone That's not what happened. He just gave it to Videotron who will price fix with Rogers like they already do. It's a way to save face to the public and still get Rogers what they wanted. Now Rogers doesn't have to worry about being undercut,while Videotron cause easily raise prices

  • Videotron Videotron (@Videotron) reported

    In support of the Iranian community in Canada, calls to #Iran will remain free of charge for Videotron clients until October 31.
