High speed internet (cable) 10mbps up, 15mbps down. 50 GB/Monthly combined data transfer cap. Multiple packages are available. Mine is one of the lower end ones. Cable modem supplied upon subscription. Must subscribe to at least one other service (Digital TV, Phone, Cell) from provider to be eligible to a $15 rebate on the monthly TV package subscription cost. If you take their land line phone option, you get an extra $6 rebate on that package cost (3 services altogether). Major good point: Connection reliability and speed. Major bad points: Very expensive for its overall value when compared to what's available from other ISPs, be it in Canada or compared to what's available in other countries. Latest monthly bill was around $165 for a pretty basic TV package, basic land line phone service and the internet package described above. They usually raise their prices at least once a year, sometimes even twice, so I'm examining local alternatives which ask less money for comparable performance and reliability even if changing our emails all over the place would be a truly painful experience... member for 20.3 years, 2617 visits, last login: 1 day ago updated 2 years ago
15/10 unlimited that mean 70$/month for near 35$/month so a 50% rebate hard to negociate but install is great, order is simple zyxel router and arris cable modem Agent #208450 called Medti was funny, spoken a good french something that some tech support should care about a little more, personalized service with callbacks was nice, I would said that Videotron vastly improved since before independant isps were better, however security is slightly abussive so it's absolutely impossible to negociate anonymously something that could make it hard to get fair reviews from tech journalists, it should be done only after a deal is accepted, that said I still recommend the agent while not a Videotron fan as an hard customer since I'm a sysadmin so it make my review a bit more harsh but I expect that customers like aged people might not be served as they should deserve, the service isn't the most easy on them, take it mostly as a constructive comment, it's overall good but it could improve and that's a good thing, Videotron improved and could still do it, Thanks Medti to have shown me that Videotron could do more than before !!! Rating 9.5/10 from let say 6.5/10 near 15 years ago ... *Update* see my other review member for 12.5 years, 6 visits, last login: 2.6 years ago updated 2.6 years ago
I've been with Videotron for at least 2 years now... connection is always good... speed is up to par. No complaints at all. Technical support is fast. I've got the 5o years anniversary promo... at +/-$47 taxes incl. for a 30/10 unlimited connection, this is a very good deal! Without this deal, I would have stayed with an independent ISP. update January 23rd 2018. After receiving the increase letter, I've decided to call them. I wanted to a least somewhat cancel the increase. No real deal was offered. I've asked them what if I get the highest speed available (200mbits)... best deal was rebate of $7.50 per month... which still end up more expensive than EBox for the same service. So I've canceled my internet with Vidéotron and went with EBox. They've lost a loyal customer... I was paying $360 tx included for my Internet connection, tv and 4 cellphone lines. They will be loosing a lot more than just my Internet connection if they do not come up with something better in the future. update July 2019 I've been back with Videotron for a few months now on the 400/50 plan. The promo price for 12 months end up to be $60+tx for me. if they do not give me a good price after this 12 months, I'll be back in Ebox quickly. Update September 2019 I've switched to Bell Fibe because FTTH is now available in my neighbourhood... I've got Fibe 500. Having more than 50mbits upload speed (limit on the 400/50 I had with Videotron) is great. member for 17.4 years, 7459 visits, last login: a few hours ago updated 4.3 years ago
We offered to stay if they could give us 30 mbps (vs 50 from Diallog) and unlimited downloads. Best they could do is 15 mbps/150 gigs for $46 /mo vs $36 for Diallog,a Bell Fibe re-seller member for 5.7 years, 7 visits, last login: 357 days ago lodged 4.7 years ago
Automne 2007 La première installation a été remise car le propriétaire n'était pas sur place, pourtant il n'y avait aucun cablage à faire.. J'ai eu un autre rendez-vous UN MOIS plus tard (démenagement en novembre donc la deuxième installation s'est fait en décembre... l'installation a pris environ 15 minutes, le technicien sous-traitant était sympathique et poli. --- Printemps 2008 Panne de TPC cette automne, 3 jours sans téléphone. Un sous-traitant de Videotron a effectué une nouvelle installation chez les propriétaires et a "voler" mon câble qui allait au poteau. J'ai perdu mon lien Internet et la TPC, mais la télé fonctionne toujours. 3 jours de délais pour un rendez-vous. Un tech de Vidéotron est venu pour constater la gaffe du sous-traitant. Il a dû faire une 2e drop de la rue au mat électrique. --- Déménagement 1er juillet 2008 RDV 1er juillet en AM, le tech se présente et active les 3 services sans problème. Satisfait du service comme avant. --- Déconnection 1er mai 2009 Connection SHDSL 10Mbps symétrique fournie gratuitement par mon employeur member for 20 years, 614 visits, last login: 11 days ago updated 5.2 years ago
I had heavy problem with my first phone Nexus One (screen digitizer), after 4 exchange and 1 month of negociation I got a Nexus S free if charge. So far I love the Nexus S. Internet service is fast and work well for streaming radio station (with my google nexus S) My speed average is 3.5mbps for download and 2.2mbps for upload I'm pleased with the quality of their signal so far. It work on 95% of place I go Their not better than the Cartel (ROBELUS) for my covering member for 21.2 years, 2998 visits, last login: 5.5 years ago updated 6.4 years ago
UPDATE: I have had Videotron's mobile service for 4 months. Basically... it works, even if I live in a basement! I clearly remember my Bell phone (10 years ago) having trouble catching the signal. They have cheap yet good phones (I chose a Samsung Galaxy Mini, 15$ at the time) and cheap yet good service (I plan to upgrade to Voice 25, which is 100 minutes, unlimited evenings and week-ends, call display, message box and unlimited messaging) soon. I don't get that many calls that are worth answering or returning. I like it! === Ordering Internet (high speed) was easy by phone. When I found out that my antenna got no TV channels, I called back to order TV if possible on the same visit. I was told to ask the technician if he had time. He did it. The modem was a regular cable modem. A year later I ordered land phone (around 39 $/month at the time I think). They changed the modem. The battery is supposed to give 8 hours of service in case of power failure. It stops before 2 hours. I guess I'll have to consider mobile emergency service. The TV channels choice is poor, especially in English. New English channels have time to prosper everywhere else before Videotron will consider adding them. But Internet is trustworthy and the phone quality is excellent when power is available. This company will raise its prices more than once a year. Yesterday (as they were announcing Illico 2.0) they raised the fees for almost all of their TV packages, after raising TV basic service and Internet service by $2 a month on January 1. So be warned. Probably not the best company available, but when your landlord doesn't allow dishes, Videotron is a reasonably good alternative. On the other hand, Fibe is apparently coming up soon, and I will most definitely check on their offer... UPDATE: I bought myself a tablet and decided to lease the Videotron router ($1.99/month) and it works beautifully with my notebook, my tablet and my smartphone. No more wires, YAY! === Another update: When I decided to "upgrade" my cell line (with them) and drop the landline, Videotron offered me so many discounts that I kept the landline (as a backup if I lost my cell phone or something) for $2.55 a month... No call display or voicemail though. === Yet another update: If you are on their "Sur Mesure 30" TV channel package, you may be unable to make any change other than by phone or chat, due to the system insisting on you needing "Classic Videotron" or something. Very stupid bug. I suggested to introduce a 31 or 35 or 40 pack without it, but they're not listening... === VERY bad service today. I ordered TMN (for Game of Thrones) and canceled the useless residential phone line. My mistake. For some reason, and although I had asked for TMN first, they canceled the phone first. Since I had a phone modem and an Internet modem (don't ask me why, my former modem could do both), they figured I had two modems, and I can't have TMN until I bring back the now useless modem. Bye bye Game of Thrones. And bye bye my order, I'll buy the DVDs when they come out. member for 18.3 years, 4552 visits, last login: 4.1 years ago updated 6.6 years ago

We've had Videotron for something like the last 20 years. We've paid through our noses. These last few years, linear TV wasn't being watched any more, and the obscene expense looked more and more ridiculous. It also was not particularly performant, though fast enough for most typical usage cases. A couple of times in all those years, a need for a tech visit would arise and it was always a dreadful experience. Smelly people with huge attitudes and obvious severe retardation issues. Never cared much about trashing the place while doing their work. Of the goods things, I will remember the prompt, courteous and efficient service on the phone, solid uptimes (can't really remember the service going down). Too bad it costed that much. It was good, just not worth that much money. member for 7 years, driveby review (so far) lodged 7 years ago |
