Forwarding ports in Helix Fi app not actually forwarding them
Hello, I've used my Helix Fi app to forward ports. For some reason, some ports do open and others don't. I.e. on the same device, I have 9443 open (and showing as such on various online tools) but then 443, 80, 82 and 8221 are marked as open by Helix Fi, but the same online tools are showing them as closed. Any reason why? I've looked online and haven't seen a mention of Vidéotron blocking those specific ports. Thank you
How to avoid service interruption when switching to Videotron
I'm currently using another company for my internet service. They are a reseller of the Videotron cable internet service. I would like to know if I need to cancel my service with the other company before signing up with Videotron or will Videotron automatically cancel the other service? I work from home so can't afford to have any interruption in service.
Customer Service
Emailed the VP of customer service of Videotron. No reply. Then re-mailed and advised that I was going to the media. Had someone call me back. The only thing they could say about their customer service is that they will take my comments into consideration. They truly do not know how to resolve an issue. Spoiler: This issue all started because I wanted to increase my services with them! No request for credits, no discounts. Just wanted to increase my services. Hope the media will pick up my story!!

Outage
Poor communication from Videotron on when internet service will be restored. Statements like working on it, and may get to you, or even we are busy with calls just sucks. No platitude please, just real hard facts about when service will be restored in Rockland, Ontario. Forced to use data on phone to continue doing my work is going to cost me lots of money. When will the INTERNET BE AVAILABLE in Rockland, Ontario. Specific known facts pleasecannot access bing.com
Very peculiar problem. 90% of the time I cannot access bing.com via videotron's internet. Happens on all devices. If I switch my cell phone to use it's telus network instead of my wi-fi, all works fine. The funny thing is that sometimes I can access bing.com using edge when at the same time I cannot access it using chrome (when on wifi) at other times it only works the other way around. Short time after that, I can't access it anywhere. And then it starts working again. Again, this strange behavior is on all my devices, including my cell phone when running on videotron's wifi
Blocked ports on Helix
I was surprised when I started looking at my firewall logs and doing test myself that it now seems that Helix is letting through some tcp & udp ports that were previously blocked in the past. Can someone from Videotron check if someone removed an ACL on your side? For example, I'm seeing that ports 80 & 443 are open now as from what I read here they should be blocked: https://forum.videotron.com/t5/internet-telephony/business-internet-port-block/td-p/22929#:~:text=Here%20are%20the%20ports%20that,)%2C%204444%20(BLASTER). Thanks
wifi connection with roku
Hello, I can get my Roku TV set up and working on Videotron data using my cellphone as a hotspot, so I know the Roku television works, but it will not connect to my Videotron wireless network (helix). The Roku detects our wireless network but will not connect. We have done all the resets etc.. the connection is not happening to the Videotron wifi (Helix). Why is this?
