Cogeco VOIP launches in Motor City


WINDSOR – Cogeco Cable expanded its telephony territory in Ontario today with the launch of its Digital Phone service in Windsor, Ont.

This follows the launch this year in Burlington and Oakville, Ont., as well as Trois-Rivières and Drummondville, Québec.

The service is available to approximately 75% of Cogeco’s high speed Internet (HSI) customers in Windsor starting today. Service should soon be extended to the rest of Windsor city homes and will continue to be extended gradually to most cities in Cogeco Cable’s territories by the end of 2006.

The company’s Windsor-based HSI and cable television service subscribers can take advantage of the offer starting at $44.99 a month. The monthly rate for customers subscribing solely to Cogeco Cable’s HSI service is $49.99.

The five key calling features included in the package are: voice mail, call display, call waiting, visual call waiting and call forwarding. The package also includes directory assistance (411), operator services (0), emergency service (911) and technical support (611), as well as a battery to ensure up to eight hours of operation in the event of a power failure.
