Who can benefit from self-installation?
Self-installation is offered to all eligible customers, whether you are a new customer, a Videotron customer who transfers its current services to Helix services or a Helix customer who moves.
If you are not eligible for self-installation, you will be offered an appointment for an installation by a technician.
