-
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.

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

Jessica Lavoie (@MadameDanis) reported from Gatineau, Quebec@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.

Front Line Red Shirt (@Hobbit1969) reported from Gatineau, Quebec@BigBadW0lf4Life @GreatestUncle42 @seanferrick So did I...yeah that's weird. I'm in Quebec, I have Videotron. Maybe your provider lost the signal momentarily

Gilles Monvoisin (@3_punch) reported from Gatineau, QuebecSo @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

🇨🇦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.

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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Prof Chris Marsden (@ChrisTMarsden) reported@mediamorphis So hard being No4 in wireless markets, constantly loss making. As a former Fido customer, glad to see Videotron making it work. Rogers still controlling the hockey? That's the premium cable key?
-
Mario Gauthier (@Mario8Gauthier) reported@PKP_Qc @Videotron En retard sur Bell..
-
WindowLinker (@windowlinker) reported@CTVMontreal Scam. Videotron can't even do LTE properly as they still use the old 2100 mhz frequency. Worst signals of any carrier in QC.
-
Rino Fiorilli (@Fioririno) reported@CTVMontreal Videotron is already ripping us off as it is now. You want Helix? Sure, no problem! Pay for 2 months and we'll credit you after. They've totally lost my respect after being their client for many years.
-
Kathy M (@kathym425) reported from Montréal, Quebec@Videotron Thank you for the explanation. Unfortunately, I'm now going to have to pay for another service to be able to access my favourite shows. No savings for me 🙁
-
Catherine (@Cathangel) reportedJust found out today that starting in February 2021, my cable provider Videotron will no longer offer AMC because they were demanding onerous fees. And they’re not alone: Bell & Rogers have also dropped the channel. WTF, @AMC_TV ?!? You no longer like/need international viewers?
-
Hubert Figuière (@hfiguiere) reported@Videotron self-serve? so why do I need to wait TWO HOURS on the phone to get a discount for poor services. That's not self- serve. That's just pretending to care. I couldn't give a damn about what you list here. I only pay for TV.
-
Mark Bourrie (@MarkBourrie) reported@WINDmobile @FreedomMobile Is your service any good? Because, frankly, I've had it with incumbents. Are you a subsidiary of Telus, Rogers, Bell or Videotron?
-
Meghan Amy (@MegsNU) reported@Videotron channel 685 has been pixelating for last two days. Not happening on any other channel or streaming service. Is it safe to assume you are having signal issues again? #mixedsignals

Gary Robertson (@GaryRobertson24) reported@Videotron My internet was down, what is wrong with this damn Helix device!! The whole island is screaming about it I am told it is my devices in my house? Something needs to change!!!
