Videotron continues to demonstrate tremendous market strength in all sectors of the communications industry.
According to a news release issued late on Wednesday, Videotron is growing strongly, offering a counter example to recent stories about cord cutters in the cable industry [see Globe story and ESPN views on other side].
Videotron saw almost 7,000 new subscribers to its basic cable in the past two months, with an increase of 22,500 digital TV subscribers.
Its customer count for high speed internet services grew by 1% to 1.25M in that same 2 month period. It also added 1% to its 1.1M cable-based digital phone subscribers.
Having launched its HSPA+ wireless network in early September, Videotron is adding customers at a pace of close to 1000 per day, with about 75,000 customers already.
Videotron’s CEO, Robert Depatie will be returning to The 2011 Canadian Telecom Summit, talking about his approach to customer focus throughout the organization.
