Cogeco boosts Internet speeds in Ontario


MONTREAL – Cogeco Cable introduced a new high speed Internet package to its customers in the Burlington, Oakville, Milton and Halton areas of Ontario on Tuesday.

Called ‘Ultimate 30’, the new package is powered by DOCSIS 3.0 technology, allowing Cogeco’s residential customers access to speeds of up to 30 Mbps for downloads and up to 1.5 Mbps for uploads, with a monthly download cap of 125 GB.

Compared to competitors in its footprint, Cogeco said that its Ultimate 30 package offers the fastest download speed at the most affordable price available today.

“With this addition, our Internet services offer customers more flexibility and choices”, said Ron Perrotta, VP of marketing and strategic planning, in the announcement. “Thanks to technological advancements, we can offer faster Internet access, so our customers can get more out of Internet applications. Today, the whole family can use the Internet at the same time for on-line banking, video gaming, shopping or for downloading videos or films, and all with the same service.”

Customers of Cogeco’s television or home phone service will receive the new package for $59.95 per month, while customers who subscribe only to Cogeco’s Internet service will pay $64.95 per month.  The new package will be rolled out gradually through Cogeco’s service territory, the company said.
