In 2010, more than ever before, Videotron's pursuit of its corporate mission
yielded highly beneficial results for customers and was responsive to consumer
needs. Examples include the implementation of several major projects, such as
the launch of Videotron's new HSPA+ advanced mobile communications service, the
launch of illico web, and the introduction of the Ultimate Speed Internet
120(TM) Internet access service.


"Not only is it our mission to deliver the best possible customer experience
available today, but we strive to anticipate consumer needs in order to set
ourselves apart from the competition," said Robert Depatie, President & CEO of
Videotron. "I believe the results we are announcing today show we are
succeeding."

mobile service, 41,800 new customers had signed up, bringing the total number of

in the first two months of the quarter. Residents of the Greater Montreal,
Quebec City, Mauricie, Sherbrooke, Bois-Francs, Monteregie and Laurentians

devices available to customers with the addition of three new handsets, the LG
dLite, LG Wink and BlackBerry Curve.
