About Quebec

Telephony in the Canadian province of Quebec has a long history and has been provided by a variety of different companies and organizations. The first telephone service in the province was established in Montreal in 1879 by the Bell Telephone Company of Canada, which later became Bell Canada, one of the largest telecommunications providers in the country. In the early years, telephones were only available to a small number of businesses and government offices, but as the province grew, so did the demand for telephone service. As a result, the number of telephone companies operating in the province increased. Currently, Bell Canada and Telus are the main telecommunications providers in Quebec, both companies provide telephone, internet and television service throughout the province.
