Videotron Ltd. is planning in 2007 to roll out a new high-speed internet service at least four times faster than current offerings.

The Montreal-based telecommunications provider said on Thursday that it is testing a service that would let its customers achieve internet speeds as high as 100 megabits per second (Mbps).

Well im guessing they are going on the principal that the current speeds are around 25mbit and they are offering 4x that 100mbit?

Is that wrong? I have no idea what services Videotron offer......

Videotron is nice, they've got the best speeds of any Canadian ISP AFAIK.

They're also the only Canadian ISP to voluntarily turn over information about customers to the CRIA...

I'm with the same ISP as Chaos, also one of Canada's best services, from what I can tell.
