Greetings!
Presently, Videotron's 5G network does not in fact extend to Ottawa. We are constantly expanding our networks with the latest technology available, however, so it is likely that this area will be covered in the future.
In the meantime, you will of course be able to use the best of our LTE network while in Ottawa.
Have a great day!

b) I just switched from an LTE device to a new 5G device. I re-used the SIM card from the old device. Will 5G be supported with the old SIM or do I need to get a new SIM?
Yes, you can get 5G service in Ottawa on Videotron's network. Videotron has launched its 5G network in several cities across Quebec, including Ottawa, and they offer 5G service directly to their customers.
However, if you are outside Videotron's network coverage area, you may be able to roam on partner networks that offer 5G service, depending on your plan and the roaming agreements in place. It's best to check with Videotron directly to confirm the availability of 5G roaming in your area and whether your plan supports it.
