Montreal, January 20, 2016 – Cogeco Connexion is proud to announce that it is improving its high speed Internet services in some areas of the Hautes-Laurentides and Lanaudière regions. The company is rolling out greater download and upload speeds for some of its residential and business Internet packages while also launching its new high speed Ultimate 120 Internet package for residential customers. These improvements are effective immediately.
“Over the course of the past few years, the average download speeds of our customers have doubled every two years, a clear indicator that the current appetite for high speed is trending upward,” says Daniel Boisvert, Vice President, Marketing and Innovation, Cogeco Connexion. “Thanks to the improvement of our Internet network in Lac-Supérieur, Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm, Saint-Faustin–Lac-Carré and Val-des-Lacs, we are very proud to be able to offer our customers even greater speeds, further proof of our commitment to providing them with the best online experience possible.”
Residential customers with a subscription to the packages targeted by this change can already enjoy this service enhancement, at no additional cost. They can also select the new Ultimate 120 package. In the same spirit, new packages with increased speeds are now available for business customers, helping to fuel their business interactions and to boost their performance.
