| whew Glad I left back in May as soon as they announced this garbage, but that was simply the last straw. Cogeco managed to go from having a completely satisfied long-time customer to the exact opposite in one short year thanks to dpi, hard caps and repeated rate hikes. Ridiculous price-gouging overage charges are just too much for anybody with a clue about these services and value. And a questionable meter on top is only rubbing salt on things.
Going from 10mbps cable to 3.5mbps dsl is a hit that takes getting used to, but you know what? I don't have to be paranoid about the usage levels on my home network anymore and its a glorious feeling.
You know internet in this country is tanking hardcore when you have to downgrade your speeds just to get back the sort of service you already had in the first place - and even that is being threatened by the clowns in the CRTC now. The same friends in Europe who were jealous of my 10mbit 6 years ago are now cruising by in 100mbit FTTH for $45/month. |
