Because my old review was removed by "accident" and cannot be retrieved I'm going to make this quick.

St Catharines, ON | Re: Daily review updates? Not bothering me at all (which is a strange reason if that's your cause), just curious as someone else brought up that someone with multiple accounts was reviewing and re-reviewing Cogeco.
Oh well, enjoy your fun. | |

| WOW You pay A LOT for nothing Wow you pay 200$ for that?
Pricey.
I experienced Cogeco for the 1st time while I was away in 3-rivers for a few days. That is the most pathetic TV choice and stations I ever saw. I hope what I saw was basic because it couldn't be worth more than 15$/month. | |

That was for SOHO + TV, got rid of TV a while ago as well as switched to Standard. Haha, $15/month - I wouldn't take it for free, their TV line up is terrible.

| Check with others in your neighbourhood Nothing is all good or all bad, and that includes Cogeco's service. When it works, speeds are fine for my purposes. But, in my neighbourhood, service is sporadic with frequent line signal issues. At least 4 times in the last 15 months I've lost sync for both Internet and Digital phone. The phone tech each time has indicated "signal" issues. Tech's have been to my house three times a year (on average) for the 4 years that I've been a Cogeco customer.
So, my advice would be to check with other Cogeco customers in your area before deciding.
Cogeco service, at least in my neighbourhood in Gravenhurst, Ontario is very hit and miss. | |
