|  [Windsor] Cogeco now working with Cable resellers?
I attended the Windsor Tech Expo these past couple of days. There was a massive Kelcom Pavilion, where a number of Kelcom's divisions had their own booths. One of the booths was a new Kelcom entity that was advertising cable-based internet and VOIP service.
The person in the booth indicated that starting this week, they were reselling Cogeco's cable offering, for cheaper than the prices offered by Cogeco directly!
Is this for real? Has anyone else heard of Cogeco working through resellers in other markets? |

Fort Erie, ON | Cogeco is not working through resellers, resellers work through Cogeco. No different than Teksavvy and Bell, There are a few of them around, I have run across a few third party installs now and then |

Kelcom has it listed on their site.
Last time I had Kelcom for DSL service and cancelled, they accused us here of not returning the modem and threatened to have a collection agency sent.
This was back in 2004.
Good service nevertheless. Their routing was better than Sympatico's, but the speed was still limited by the distance.
Cogeco is still cheaper even if you have Analogue or Digital Cable. However, if have Satellite... |

It didn't stop me from signing up, so I guess it's available everywhere Cogeco is? I dunno. |

Sarnia, ON | It must depend on if you bundle services, as I have 16 Meg and am paying 59.95 through Cogeco directly, just checked my bill. |

| said by urbanriot :What about caps? Exactly. The fact that their caps are identical to Cogeco's makes me wonder if Cogeco either forces resellers to have identical (or more restrictive) bandwidth policies, or if Cogeco unconditionally blacklists a modem at the network level regardless of whether or not they're with a third-party ISP or not.
