Videotron's Internet plans are faster than advertised

Montréal, September 10, 2020 – The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) this week released the results of a study of the performance of the Internet services available to Canadians. The results clearly show that Videotron customers enjoy faster connections than their plan's advertised speeds.

The study conducted by SamKnows for the CRTC found that Videotron's download speeds are 110% of the advertised speed during peak periods and 111% at other times of the day.

“This study demonstrates once again the importance of investing in telecommunications infrastructure across the country,” says Jean-François Pruneau, President and CEO of Videotron. “The current health crisis has shown that Videotron's networks are robust and capable of handling record traffic.”
