<title>SOHO vs. PRO + Rant</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20497940</link>
<description><![CDATA[Do they use the same line to the switch? Are there any real advantages other then the 200GB CAP? I'm going to get disconnected again on the PRO, it's bullshit. My Cisco router indicates I've only done 98GB this month, Cogeco is saying I'm at 165 GB. My private web server that I use to access stuff when I'm away from my PC states I've used 11 GB of upload which I know is correct, other then that I only use my line for games and porn - I don't download that much porn so that 165 is dead wrong.

I've called them about it and they say it's correct, they told me I'm hogging up all my neighbors internet and that I should upgrade to the SOHO package, lol. That doesn't make an sense at all. Just to be a smartass, I visited 350 houses around my area telling them I was doing a survey, 17 people out of the 350 use Cogeco, 9 of which use Lite, where as the rest are on Standard. I called Cogeco again with this information and again I'm the evil downloader that's screwing it up for everyone, BUT if I switch to a more expensive package, it'll be ALRIGHT! Fucking assholes, I live in St. Catharines, so I have no choice with anyone else. Sad to say, I miss mountain cable, sure it was slower, about 5 Mbits, but I'd pull off 500 gigs a month with no questions.]]></description>

Thus far, the ISPs have not responded to the letters."

<title>[Niagara] Singing Cogeco Blue&#x27;s</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20459214</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just can't win. Cogeco crews did some scheduled rebuild work in my neighbourhood last week, spent better part of the morning and afternoon to complete it. I certainly hope this wasn't the node split because whereas I could get almost HiSpeed's in the wee hours of the morning and middle of the night, now it's slowwwww all the time.







With the slow speeds my internet phone quality sucks!

Now that I am recording shows on the 700 channels the frozen DVR'd program problem has followed me up there also. I had FIVE!! dropped recordings last week, one was a series recording and the other four were manually programmed. The Cogeco tech came to look at my box and pronounced everything nominal. He also thought it was rather curious, when I pointed out to him all the recordings dropped during commercials. In fact as I think about my past history with this problem, I've never had a a freeze during program content. It has ALWAYS!! frozen during commercials or intro to the program. So the other night my wife gave me strict instructions not to screw up her Grey's Anatomy. So being the clever fellow I am I decided to record on both Hi-Def channels, 720 ABC-HD and 281 ABC-HD.

Both recordings FROZE on the intro. So two hours of recorded audio but no video. My wife was not impressed at all. I had forgotten the SimSub momster snatched both recordings over to 713 CITY-HD. To bad we don't have West Coast HD feeds in this area (Bell subscribers do though).

I hate simsubbing. CTV can't make it's mind up if it wants to show Dancing with the Stars or American Idol on the same program, we end up with the first couple of minutes something that resembles Russsian Roulette.

Somebody please tell me the node split hasn't happened yet.

And will somebody please fix the frozen recordings problem!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for simsubbing, well theres always - FTA!]]></description>

<title>Unable to connect to news server</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20483951</link>
<description><![CDATA[I can't seem to connect to mail.cogeco.ca

I tried Grab-It and received the following:
"Error while selecting Group: 281 Authentication Accepted"

Also tried Newsleecher (been meaning to give a try) and got:
"Unable to Logon: Server Response 502 Cannot connect to NNTP Server"

Anyone else having trouble or is it a problem on my end? 

edit: Mozilla is (obviously) working and I am able to access my Cogeco email accounts.    ]]></description>

<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439686</link>
<description><![CDATA[I everybody I'm with cogeco right now ( for two  months now ) And I must say this is a great ISP.  My connection was never down and I have astronomic speeds with my pro connection ( 65$ ) per month compared to near 100$ for 16 megs with Bell.







I have always this speed even in hard traffic time. ( between 13.5 - 15 megs max

what do you think about ? am I lucky not to have any problems or this is really the best ISP ever ? 

THANKS ^^]]></description>

<title>[Windsor] Pages slow to load or not at all</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20459336</link>
<description><![CDATA[Anybody else in Windsor having problems with pages loading slowly or not at all? I don't think it is my equipment, as I haven't changed anything....Started last week when cnn.com took about 2 minutes to load, and my favourite RV forum http://escapees.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x won't load at all..just a blank page , and the loading icon going on and on.
Maybe a DNS server problem somewhere?...It's more than one site that won't load here.
Thanks]]></description>
