I have been with EBox as well for many years and I am very happy! Customer service is great!
As Jean-Christophe mentioned, it goes through the Videotron network... I had bell Fibe FTTH back in the day, but that’s before I converted the pc’s and router to Linux.. Does anyone use bell Fibe FFTH with their own router (pfsence) ?? I was actually looking for higher bandwidth connection and only Bell Fibe offers that where I am. Thanks!
