Why Quebec performs this way

Quebec sits below the Canada average because subscriber demand is more concentrated, especially during the evening window when shared capacity is under the most pressure. Large urban clusters reduce headroom even though northern regions perform better. Dense urban demand tends to compress speeds first because more subscribers share the same orbital capacity at peak times. Relative to the national reference point of 180 Mbps down, 22 Mbps up, and 36 ms ping, Quebec is a useful benchmark for how local density and terrain affect real household performance in 2026.
