Montréal, October 5, 2011 Cogeco Cable Inc. (TSX: CCA) today announced the launch of its
Ultimate 40 and Ultimate 60 High Speed Internet (HSI) packages in Mont-Tremblant and Thetford Mines,
Québec, where the majority of residents will be able to benefit from the fastest download speeds at the

We always strive to offer our customers more flexibility, speed and choices. Today, the whole family can

or films, and all with the same service. Cogeco’s HSI packages like Ultimate 40 and Ultimate 60 meet
those needs perfectly,” said Ron Perrotta, Vice-President, Marketing and Strategic Planning at Cogeco
Cable.
Cogeco’s Ultimate 40 and Ultimate 60 are powered by DOCSIS 3.0, a technology of data compression
