Montreal apartments vs houses
For apartment renters in Montreal: Ebox works in virtually every apartment building because Videotron's cable network was rolled out to most rental properties decades ago. The coaxial wall outlet near where your TV or previous modem was installed is your Ebox connection point. Self-serve installation takes about 20 minutes — no technician visit required.
For house owners: Same coverage applies. If your home has ever had Videotron cable TV or internet service, Ebox can serve it. Properties in newer developments may need a brief cable activation handled during signup.
If you're in a brand-new Montreal condo building under 2 years old, double-check service availability at your specific address before signing up — some new developments take time to be added to the cable network.

Why Montreal customers switch to Ebox
The most common reasons for switching from Bell or Videotron in Montreal:
- Lower monthly cost. Saving $30–50/month over Bell or $25–40/month over Videotron. Over a year, that's $300–600.
- No contract. Montreal renters move frequently. A 2-year contract creates friction when you change apartments. Ebox's month-to-month structure eliminates that.
- Equipment included. Bell and Videotron charge $12–15/month for modem and router rental. Ebox includes both at no extra cost.
- Student-friendly. Montreal's large student population (McGill, Concordia, UdeM, UQAM, HEC) values Ebox's no-contract structure — school terms don't match Bell's 2-year commitment cycles.
- Self-serve setup. No technician visit needed. Ebox ships the modem; you plug it in. 20 minutes and you're online.
