I have been having a hell of a time with them in the last few days.
I use giganews, and even though the cogeco speed test shows good speed, I can't break 400k during the day/evening. Only after 2am does the speed get decent. Normally it sits at about 200k or less. This is confirmed on multiple computers, and multiple news providers. Bullshicks I tells ya. |

I am experiencing 14Mbps+ late at night but rarely during the day. |

|  Hey Rudeboy24. Are you still getting crappy speeds? I had told you that Cogeco had fixed me last month and I was getting 14/1 consistantly. But during the middle of last week all of a sudden my speeds are down to 8/1. So I don't know if they broke something or what. I am at Fitch and First in Welland. Let me know if they fixed your problem or not.
Cheers,
Randy |

I live on Wellbrook Blvd, off Fitch. Just moved from the EAST SIDE OF WELLAND. I used to live on Mcalpine ave, and had INSANE speeds there. Would always be around 10 mpbs all day, all night.
I just moved to Wellbrook Bvld, and at night my service gets down to 1 mpbs! If im even downloading a driver, or game demo, its IMPOSSIBLE to surf the net.
I was told myself "Oh thats a bad area we only have 1 node, we are working on another"
I think we shouldnt be charged full pop for a service that isnt running full pop. |

Well it looks like Cogeco has done it again. I am back into the cycle of good bandwidth in the morning (14/1) to this crap at night. They just split my node two months ago and it was been perfect until the last few weeks and not at night time I am down to this again. The only way I could get them to move on the split was to call the BBB then they finally agreed with me that my node is overload. I am so frustrated with this same old thing happening year after year.
Are any of the techs available and willing to check my node to confirm for me that it is again overloaded. I would greatly appreciate it. I will PM you my MAC.

Welland, ON | Yes, i'd like to know when they are planning on upgrading. I mean we are all giving them $45.00+ a month, and giving us sub par service. Would like to see my money go somewhere useful. |

1 edit | there probably never upgrading fitch because they only want our money and don't give a $hit about there customers.
im planing on complaining to the CCTS about them anyway maybe file a complaint to the BBB while im at it. |

| I don't understand why you would tolerate this for nearly six months... why not switch providers? DSL would probably give you better speeds; not 10M or anything but better than that crap... You can even just try it out for a month - i.e. don't sign a contract or anything, and see if its any better... |

Welland, ON | DSL in this area sucks ..i can only get a 2Mbit connection ..probably the reason why cogeco doesn't give a crap about this area. |
