Videotron: “AWS network is progressing quickly” and final testing has started

By on May 7, 2010 at 1:28pm in Asides, Mobile News, Various News, Vidéotron News

Videotron’s new network is targeted to launch sometime during the Summer and today they’ve given an update on where they stand with the build-out. With millions of dollars invested and over 1,200 employees hired, they state that the “Build-out of the AWS network is progressing quickly” and they’ve started the last phase of testing with 100 individuals in various locations across Québec. So I’m sure those really interested might want to drive around for a while and you could possibly pick up a network signal (MNC is 500,510).

Robert Dépatie, President & CEO said “Consumers know that we are committed to maintaining superior-quality service for our customers. This is why we are already beginning extensive testing, with about a hundred selected individuals, of the entire customer experience, covering both services and products.”

  9. Ontario got Mobilicity and Wind, Quebec got crappy Public Mobil and Videotron!! This is ridiculous Videotron is not better than Rogers in their high prices and crappy customer service and horrendous business practices.

  10. If you’re a WIND customer roaming in Quebec you could catch a signal since they both run on the same bands but won’t be able to use the network.
