Videotron’s discount brand Fizz announced Thursday it has expanded into new areas of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebecor to cover 2.2 million more people.
The new areas include Whistler and Kelowna in B.C.; Lethbridge and Red Deer in Alberta; Portage and La Prairie in Manitoba; and Gaspesie, Cote-Nord and Bas-Saint-Laurent areas of Quebec. The full service area list as of Thursday is available on the Fizz website.
The expansion is made possible by agreements Videotron has with larger mobile network operators under the CRTC’s mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) framework.
“We are proud to expand Fizz’s service area and allow more Canadians to take advantage of customized, innovative, highly competitive wireless plans that truly meet their needs,” Pierre Karl Peladeau, president and CEO of Videotron parent Quebecor, said in a press release Thursday.
Launched in 2018, Fizz is a service that cuts costs in part by being a 100 per cent digital service.
