Internet options in Saguenay
Saguenay's internet market features Vidéotron as the primary cable provider, consistent with Quebec's telecom landscape. Bell offers DSL and fibre alternatives in many areas.
The Chicoutimi borough, including the UQAC campus area and downtown, has solid infrastructure. Jonquière and La Baie have their own infrastructure patterns from their pre-merger development.
Resellers like oxio and TekSavvy operate on the Vidéotron network in Saguenay. This provides alternatives with transparent pricing for residents tired of promotional games.
As the largest city in the region, Saguenay has better infrastructure than smaller communities in the Lac-Saint-Jean area. Urban areas are well-served, though rural outskirts may have limitations.
