Videotron celebrates one millionth web subscriber milestone


MONTREAL – Vidéotron has announced that a resident of Montreal’s West Island has become the one millionth customer of its cable Internet service.

The millionth customer, Valérie Ruah, won a one-year subscription to Vidéotron’s “Quattro” package. She will also compete in TVA’s TV program Le Banquier (a Deal or no Deal spinoff), where she will play for one million dollars.

“Reaching the million mark of subscribers to our Internet products is truly a sign of trust from our customers,” says Manon Brouillette, chief vice-president, strategic development and commerce. “But we are also demonstrating the importance we attach to customer satisfaction by offering a complete range of services tailored to Internet users of all kinds.”

Last February, Vidéotron announced the arrival of TGV 30 and TGV 50 Internet in cooperation with Cisco. The two new Internet services allow quicker downloading times and join the company’s four other existing options for Internet access.
