I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your initiative to increase access to poles in my area, Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Inadequate access to poles is one of the main reasons why our area is lagging far behind in terms of connectivity.
According to some service providers, the prices that you charge to your competitors for broadband are the result of questionable tactics. The prices are constantly changing, depending on the seller's wishes, and the parameters are never verifiable. In my constituency, one of the most common excuses for keeping prices high is that Télébec, one of your companies, must update equipment. However, your competitors say that you don't maintain your equipment.
What is a reasonable average price for broadband that Télébec charges to its providers? Is it true that this price is higher than the rate charged by Bell in other parts of Quebec?
