The best tech for everyone - Videotron will connect even more QuebecersMONTRÉAL, May 21, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - The Québec Ministry of Economy and Innovation has announced the projects that will be funded under the Régions branchées component of the Québec haut débit program, and Videotron will be building new infrastructure to provide residents of Charlevoix, the Lower St. Lawrence, Memphrémagog and Montérégie with high-speed Internet service. "Videotron is pleased to connect families and businesses that do not currently have access to high-speed Internet," says Jean-François Pruneau, President and CEO of Videotron. "We plan to offer them the best service on the market, using the same technology and at the same price as elsewhere in Québec. And we will go further by offering them Helix, our brand new home entertainment and connected lifestyle platform. With 240,000 subscribers to its Internet access and television services, Helix is a resounding success. It is the most technologically advanced solution on the market. "Our goal has always been to connect as many Quebecers as possible and we had submitted a large number of projects to that end. We wanted to do much more and make a real difference for underserved regions. You can count on us to continue putting forward new connectivity projects," Mr. Pruneau added. Videotron welcomes the government's intention to speed up the processing of requests for access to telecommunications support structures and will be pleased to contribute to the discussions on this matter. Highlights
High-speed Internet is vital to Québec's economic recovery and to job creation outside the major urban centres. Bringing all Quebecers into the new digital age is crucially important to our families and to businesses of all sizes. The current pandemic is another example that it is vital to bring all Quebecers into the new digital era. Videotron is building the infrastructure to help make it happen.
