Montréal, March 20, 2015 – Videotron Business Solutions announced today that it is launching 100 mbps Internet access for business customers throughout its service area, confirming its commitment to offering businesses more. The announcement comes one week to the day after Videotron acquired 4Degrees Colocation and its data centre, the largest in Québec, for $31.5 million.
More speed for the same price
Businesses have growing needs for ever faster Internet access, an essential tool for business development today. They want to boost productivity, back up data online efficiently, and optimize communications as they do more and more business remotely.
As of today, Videotron Business Solutions is making 100 mbps Internet access available across its service area. Businesses that had Fibre Hybrid 60 service will automatically be upgraded to Fibre Hybrid 100, at no extra cost. Videotron Business Solutions now boasts speeds that are twice as fast as those of its closest rival in most of its service area, thanks to a hybrid network that contains more than 30,000 km of fibre optic cable and has unlimited potential for future development.
"Today's announcement demonstrates once again Videotron determination to make life easier than ever for its customers, said Jean Novak, President of Videotron Business Solutions. Adding a new data centre in Québec City and enhancing Internet access services for business customers are just two more ways in which Videotron is deepening its longstanding relationship with the approximately 115,000 companies that place their trust in its innovative business solutions day after day. By offering services that meet their needs, Videotron aims to help Québec companies find a comprehensive, integrated business solution.
