Coalition of Quebec Internet Service Providers

To Protect Consumer Choice

The Coalition of Quebec Internet Service Providers, a group formed of 11 Quebec ISPs, has come together to defend the best interests of consumers and smaller Internet service providers.

The Coalition believes consumers are better served in a market promoting fair competition. The Coalition’s mandate, therefore, is to advocate for CRTC regulations to end the problems encountered by unsustainable competition in the Internet and telecommunications market today, as well as to raise public awareness on issues ultimately affecting us all.
