FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cogeco’s Business High Speed Internet is faster than ever
Montréal, June 2, 2010 – Cogeco Cable (TSX: CCA) today announced the launch of a new
Business High Speed Internet (HSI) package, the Business Ultimate 50, in Quebec, starting with the
Trois-Rivières area. Starting, today, Cogeco’s customers who currently subscribe to the Business
HSI Enterprise service in those areas will be upgraded to the Ultimate 50 package at no extra cost.
This new package will be equally available to new customers looking to give their businesses a
boost from ultra-fast web internet connectivity. Furthermore, starting June 8, 2010, Ultimate 50 will
also be available in the St-Hyacinthe area.
Powered by DOCSIS 3.0 technology, Business Ultimate 50 offers its subscribers unparalleled
speed and performance, while removing any worry about data transfer limitations. It boasts the
same generous features as the Enterprise package it replaces, such as an unlimited bitcap, but now
includes a faster download speed of up to 50 Mbps, and an upload speed of up to 2 Mbps. In fact, it
is the fastest Business HSI service offered in our markets.
“Made for your business… We can say this because we understand the unique nature of small
business and create services that meet their needs. We offer faster speeds, flexible terms, reliable
connections, extended hours for local support and generous data transfer allowances. We are
continually looking to introduce new products and service enhancements that are made for our
customers, giving them genuine business benefits. This is why our new Business Ultimate 50 truly
stands out in the market,” said Ron Perrotta, Vice-President, Marketing and Strategic Planning at
Cogeco Cable’’
Cogeco’s Business HSI Ultimate 50 is powered by DOCSIS 3.0, a technology of data compression
that allows a more efficient and economical use of bandwidth. Thus, Cogeco Cable is well
positioned to meet the increasing bandwidth needs of today’s small businesses at a very
competitive cost.
Cogeco’s Business Ultimate 50 package costs $189.95 per month with a three-year commitment,
$199.95 per month with a two-year commitment and $209.95 with no commitment. It includes
modem rental, security services, unlimited data transfer, 20 email addresses, and a 100MB capacity
per email addresses. The Business Ultimate 50 package will be rolled-out gradually throughout
Cogeco’s service territory.
