Not a fan of Videotron or companies (network or infrastructure owners) that operate under the assumption they can bill whatever they want and change the terms of a contract whenever they want as though there aren't any industry norms or competing services or federal consumer protection provisions to stop them ripping people off.
But the thing was putting on data caps without any upper limit and without cutting services off just so they could rack up a bill? To this day I don't know why they bothered. But given the fight with Bell to offer Fiber to their 3 million potential clients, FTTN FTTH rollouts, and while discussion the situation with the AMR guy I'm like look.. obviously had Videotron treated the certain percentage of their Cable clients like human beings instead of piggy banks they could just smash.. they'd have had so many more of us ready to support their Hybrid Fiber Giga service even at 150$ per month.
Not me though that price is insane. But no. I'd one, never consider Videotron again and will never recommend them. Just get a volume wholesale ISP that will eventually provide an equivalent service MUCH cheaper and without the hassle of dealing with Videotron directly. Those are the guys that popped up because of those federal regulations that allowed other companies to middle man technical support and customer service and billing in a sane and courteous manner.
So.. If Videotron offers the service.. I might eventually be able to consider it at $75 to maybe $100 (for a half gigabit) per month.
If not it will be Bell.. Telus, Rogers.. etc. The bigger fiber networks will wholesale service to smaller ISPs within another 6 months to a year. In the meantime I'm fine with the 25 megabits DSL I have now.
