I'm running the high speed internet standard package, which is 10 Mbps / 640 Kbps. I'm paying $44.95 for the package, but I'm also getting my digital cable from Cogeco so I'm paying for the TV and internet package.
They have a cap at 60 GB total download and upload, which they are now enforcing. Cogeco used to only monitor your upload bandwidth which was reasonable, now they are enforcing the 60 GB combined download and upload cap which really changes things. You now have to hold back on your internet usage and keep watching how much bandwidth you're using so as to not go over.
Cogeco also is upgrade happy. I started out as a 3 Mbps download when I started using Cogeco. They then upgraded the package to 5 Mbps download and then at 7 Mbps download. I'm now at 10 Mbps connection for download. However, this is now useless with the enforced cap, what's the point of all this speed if it makes you go over the cap that much quicker?
They were on of the best ISP's, but have now started to lose that status with the recent changes they're making.
