Videotron intros 120Mbps Internet to Quebec
Canadian telecommunications provider Videotron has just introduced the country's fastest Internet service with its Ultimate Speed Internet 120. The plan uses DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem tech to reach 120Mbps download speeds and 20Mbps upload speeds, in many cases beating current fiber. Caps are relatively low for the performance with monthly usage at 170GB for downloads and 30GB for uploads. Going outside of those bounds will cost users $1.50CAD ($1.46) for each extra gigabyte used.
The package will initially be offered in Quebec City, though it's said to arrive in other markets at an undisclosed, later time. Ultimate Speed Internet 120 costs $160CAD ($155) per month and includes a cable modem and a one-month subscription to Videotron's security services. If users already subscribe to Videotron's phone or TV services, the price drops to $150CAD ($146) per month.
