MONTREAL – Cogeco Cable has launched its digital phone service in Saint-Hyacinthe, Que., the fifth community to receive it since the company started rolling out the service this June.
Starting today, Cogeco’s high-speed Internet customers in Saint-Hyacinthe can replace their traditional phone service with the cableco’s securely routed private network and keep their existing phone numbers, phones, and outlets.
Customers who already subscribe to Cogeco’s high speed and cable TV services can add the digital phone service for $39.99 a month, while those who get the Internet connection on a standalone basis can subscribe to the phone service for an extra $44.99. The company is offering the first month of service free and free installation as an introductory offer.
The digital phone service includes unlimited calling, voice mail, call display, call waiting, visual call waiting, and call forwarding.
Digital phone service is also available to residents in Trois-Rivières and Drummondville, Que., and in Burlington and Oakville, Ont. Cogeco plans to roll out the service to most of its communities by the end of 2006. It has cable and Internet subscribers in more than 1.4 million homes in Ontario and Quebec.
