The Quebec telecom landscape is growing today as Vidéotron announces the arrival of its Helix platform in four additional municipalities. Drummondville, Magog, Rimouski, and Saint-Hyacinthe will now have access to the operator’s Internet and TV services, a move that brings Helix within reach of approximately 93,000 additional households.
Something tangible for residents
Behind these announcements lie real benefits for residents of these cities. They can now access Helix bundled plans, featuring state-of-the-art Wi-Fi equipment and, most notably, speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps symmetrical in areas where the infrastructure allows. A boon for connected families and remote workers.
This rollout doesn’t come out of nowhere. It is part of a rapid sequence of regional expansions throughout 2025, following successful deployments in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and Trois-Rivières. For residents in these mid-sized markets, it ensures healthy competition against established operators.
A small practical tip, however: it’s best to check availability for your exact address, as speeds and installation times can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. An expansion that confirms the high-speed internet battle is also being fought in the heart of Quebec.
