Montréal, October 13, 2010 – Videotron is doubling upload speeds on its Ultimate Speed Internet 50TM service for residential and business customers from 1 mbps to 2 mbps as of today, with no increase in rates. The move is another example of Videotron's commitment to meet its customers' needs in the age of social networking, with consumers demanding more and more speed of their Internet Service Providers.
By making Ultimate Speed Internet 50 twice as fast, Videotron is delivering on its promise to listen to its customers, said Myrianne Collin, Vice President, Research, Marketing and Product Development, Consumer Division, of Videotron. With the extra speed, our service is more complete and more advantageous, particularly for self-employed workers, small businesses and plugged-in families in which several users share a single connection.
