<title>Has anyone been cut off for over-usage?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23270507</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well, it's clear that UBB is here to stay. I'm on the standard package and always use my allotted BW limit. I also live in a rural community, meaning I have to drive at least 30 mins + to buy games etc;.

I'll gladly just pay the $30 in overage fees each month for digital delivery of media and games as I would be spending at least this much in gas + time to go out to a brick and mortar. My question is : do I still run the risk of my account being suspended for doing so?

It all boils down to whether Cogeco sees the extra money being charged as a penalty to discourage overages.. or genuine compensation for the 'extra service' you've received. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23322332</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a SD cable box and the guide isn't being updated.  All program listings show up as 'to be announced'

usually this'll happen if the power goes out and it'll fix itself but this has been going on for about 3 days now.

my HD box is working fine, the guide shows all current info.

any ideas?]]></description>

<title>[Windsor] &#x22;Classic Cable&#x22; TV</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23320122</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey.... it's about time that I think we've finally decided to order some cable TV. My understanding that the classic cable tv - gets you about 70 channels or so... channels like cbs, abc, nbc, cw, tsn, etc - can anyone confirm that you in fact do get about 70 channels total from this package? when i hit classic cable on the website, only about 20 channels pop up, then when i click on the tv listings it shows about 70 channels

just trying to determine which package to get

thanks..]]></description>

<title>Strange &#x22;radio&#x22; over the cable?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23316763</link>
<description><![CDATA[we have Cog cable, in Waterdown, and just got a new tv - well, not new it's a couple of years old....

just plugged it into our cable receiver (not an HD one either) and turned on the tv, set to channel 3 as always.

thing is, the tv "plays" a local radio station, that tho low in volume can be heard thru the actual station that we tune in on the cable, no matter which  station we're on.

why is the cable 'adding' this to the stations? how can I 'turn off' this radio station?

this is very strange to me...can anyone here help???

<title>[Hamilton] Mcmaster area connection</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23286552</link>
<description><![CDATA[well its been a year since i last complained about how bad the connection in mcmaster area, across from main, is. It was fantastic for a while, immediately after my last complaint no less, but sadly its gone to shit again. I have the premium 16mb/s package and have never, not once, since turning it on this school year achieved that speed or anything close to that. Even when checked at 7am its only 2mb/s, ridiculous for what i pay. Peak hours i would expect slower speeds, but getting speeds of abound 200kb/s is outragously slow at 70$ a month. 

Cogeco service sucks, save your money and go with someone else. ]]></description>

<title>[Eastern Ontario] packetloss. 2 days now</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23293486</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello, I have cogeco internet in Brockville, ontario
basically this is my problem.
pinging google.....

Ping statistics for 74.125.95.147:
Packets: Sent = 115, Received = 84, Lost = 31 (26% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 33ms, Maximum = 57ms, Average = 39ms

Its not my computers (windows and linux boxes), router is bypassed etc. What can I do? I tried calling tech support but the dude I talked to didn't even know what packetloss was. I have worked phone tech support at a call center before as well so I know the phone techs are not actual techs and they probably cant even escalate something like this.]]></description>

<title>[Eastern Ontario] Belleville issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23309226</link>
<description><![CDATA[ I searched the forums and this topic was not listed....

Belleville customers are experiencing internet service drops say Cogeco. I am located in Montrose subdivision and for the last 3 nights at exactly 5:22pm my internet nose dives to the point of non existence. It stays that way for about the next 4.5 hrs or so, then slowly comes back to life.

Cogeco says that they are aware of the problems in Belleville and the reason is the explosive demand for the internet lately. Hmmm and that happens at 5:22pm evey night?? Yah rite!!

8 years of perfect service and now I only get the internet 75% of the time for a 24hr period. They should take 25% off my monthly bill then...

Techn is coming to the house on Tuesday. I will update this thread with the result.

Oh and I don't download movies and tie up the bandwidth for hours on end.... ]]></description>

<title>[Niagara] Email Issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23296060</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello, I have read and searched and not found the same issue I am having. We are using Outlook and have our smtp going out over the smtp.cogeco.ca. Anything we send out does not get delivered, as well, people sending us emails, we do not receive them.However, using gmail, yahoo or an acanac smtp and dsl line, we can send and receive no issue. Not once is any type of bounce back message received by either us or people sending us emails, it all looks as if it goes through. I did the MX test and see that the IP is listed as blacklisted. Now I am not the type of person to start off blaming anyone, in fact, my first approach is what have I done wrong, although this is a new issue for us and we have not changed nor altered any settings on our network. 

Look forward to any suggestions, thank you, Fonguy

Here is the result of the test-----
