MONTREAL – Cogeco Cable today upgraded its high-speed Internet (HSI) service to handle up to 7 Mpbs in all its service areas.
The cableco is increasing the combined upload and download bit cap, so its Pro service limit will triple from 30 GB to 100 GB. The Standard service limit will quadruple from 15 GB to 60 GB, and the Lite (or Mini, in Quebec) limit will quintuple from 2 GB to 10 GB. The improvements will not cost customers extra.
Cogeco is bundling its HSI for $34.95 per month for 12 months when a subscriber gets digital cable as well.
“More and more people are choosing our HSI services. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, more than 17,000 new customers chose Cogeco Cable’s HSI services. In addition, according to Ipsos Reid’s fourth quarter 2005 Canadian inter@ctive Reid Report, people spend more and more time on the Internet. As a result, they download more and more Web pages, documents and audio-visual material. In our continuing efforts to improve our offering, substantially increasing our bit caps and the HSI Standard speed was the logical thing to do,” said Ron Perrotta, Vice-President, Marketing at Cogeco Cable.
