Videotron is a leader in new technologies with its interactive Digital TV service and its broadband network, which supports high-speed cable Internet access, analog and digitalcable television, and other services.
About 80% of the UK is now able to get broadband access through ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line), while about 40% of the country is covered by cablebroadband connections.
But it may also spark renewed price competition between broadband service providers, such as phone companies like Verizon Communications pushing digital subscriber line service, and cable companies like Comcast and Time Warner offering cable modem service.
