Down the road certainly possible, but for initial launch we're taking a cautious approach until we see how the traffic patterns differ from what we're used to with DSL. |

I hear ya - we won't be right for everyone, and we do have unlimited on lower speed packages. You never know what might happen down the road though - still working with the CRTC on rate review for capacity rates, that could be a game changer. I just may switch if the standard gets bumped up.I see nothing unlimited on your site thou |

The last thing we want is to deal with slowdowns due to available capacity to Cogeco not being able to handle subscriber load. |

I hope King City will be avalaible, having a hard time finding a TPIA that covers that area with 20+ speed and unlimited |

The new site should do a better job of displaying it, but it's a $5 upgrade to the Basic package - 2nd last column on the grid. |

I saw that you posted earlier that you have a 1Gbps POI link to Cogeco, what's you POI connection to Rogers? |

Also 1Gbps. We're on a 10G CNI though so upgrades are much faster than having to go through a regular build process. |

I would want to switch in; but with teksavvy I have 300GB even though I mostly use only 100GB/month; i just like the extra safety..... but with aggregated probably avoid all these congested nodes;
so this is free install if I have cable with other TPIA? |

Sorry if some of these are already asked....
Can we PRE-ORDER right NOW for Cogeco territory ?
Will Start notify Cogeco of my cancelling with them, or do I have to coordinate that myself ?
How much downtime will there be on a transfer ?
I have an active account with them (to save on your setup fee), but they will of course want THEIR modem back.
Do we HAVE to use your modems, or can we pick up our own (from a list of models which you approve) and just tell you the MAC ?
Will there be a service charge to switch to a different speed or cap later ? (especially to an unlimited which you have not offered so far) |

Ah, that makes more sense. It will definitely speed up the upgrade process and I think they'll need it pretty soon.

So it's a 10Gbps port but you're currently rate limited to 1Gbps? |

| Ahh we were both wrong anyways i envision it as they have a 10g Capable link installed and just need to plug in the other 9g worth of cables basically VS having to install a whole new connection
