BURLINGTON – Cogeco Cable launched its Wi-Fi Internet access in Ontario Friday with nearly 150 access points spread throughout the Burlington, Oakville and Hamilton areas.
Now, all Cogeco Cable High Speed Internet (HSI) customers in Ontario will be able to take advantage of this new service, at no additional charge. For Cogeco HSI customers, accessing the Internet or their e-mail accounts through their portable wireless devices outside their home or office will now be as simple as logging in with their Cogeco email address and password, around any of these access points.
“Wi-Fi continues to grow in popularity as more and more people need an Internet connection to work, study or surf on the web in many different locations," said Ron Perrotta, vice-president, marketing, in a release.
Wi-Fi access points have been deployed at strategic sites in Cogeco’s footprint such as cafés, restaurants, recreation facilities and libraries. "Like the F-Secure security suite, Cogeco’s Wi-Fi access represents an interesting added value for Cogeco’s HSI customers," says the release.
