Search for Montreal internet services with your personal modem setup.
Relocating to Montreal this summer from Quebec City means we’ll have to give up our Fibe1.5. The area we’re moving into doesn’t support FTTH, and their fiber speeds max out around 50mbps, which isn’t enough. Videotron appears to be the top choice for 400mbps with a 50mbps cap, but we only need internet. They seem to require using their modem or router for the connection.
Questions:
1. Are there alternatives to work around this situation?
2. If not, would you mind any ISP suggestions that match these speeds and let you use your own equipment? Thanks!
I've heard that service providers in Canada don't allow customer-owned modems. You could call them directly to confirm, but that seems unlikely. The best alternative is to check if they support Bridge mode. If it does, the modem/router will essentially function as a regular modem, letting you use any router you prefer.
