Ratings and reviews

Vidéotron used to be on top. now service is getting worse, wifi is spotty half the time, Tech and customer service can't help, and price keeps getting higher. Enshitfication at it's best, and the app makes is somehow worse. it's pushing promo and "advice" instead of just showing me what I need right away, which is a control panel. it's also slow and unresponsive a third of the time, probably because it's loading another promo for a service I either Don't need nor want.

Range not very strong. This device locks you in. You can't control the DNS you would like to use. I had to purchase a new router to be able to connect to the web with my settings. Not what the company imposes. Oh and the WiFi technology is WiFi 5. Two generations behind.

Literally won't let me sign in with the new update. I'm just stuck in an infinite loop of redirecting to a sign in page, signing in and then being redirected back to the sign in page.
