Subscribers of Montreal-based Cogeco Cable Inc.'s broadband Internet service are being upgraded from 2 megabits per second to 3 Mbps, the company announced today.
The change affects those who subscribe to Cogeco's Standard High Speed Internet service.
The company said that it wants to continue providing its subscribers with a high-speed Internet service twice as fast as the digital subscriber line (DSL) high speed Internet service offered by Bell Canada's Sympatico, which uses phone lines.
Sympatico is currently wrapping up its own upgrade, which is moving most of its customers on High-Speed Internet service from 1 Mbps to 1.5 Mbps. The changeover is due to be finished by today, July 31.
Cogeco's new download speed will be operational in all areas served by Cogeco Cable by today as well. The company said it is not planning to alter the present cable structure.
"We believe this is the ideal way to continue providing our customers with high-quality service and pursue future development on a solid footing," Cogeco vice-president Ron Perrotta said.
Cogeco Cable is the second-largest cable system operator in both Ontario and QuÃÃâ€*’©bec, after Rogers Cable, and the fourth largest in Canada, with almost 1.4 million cabled households.
Its two-way broadband network provides mostly residential customers with analogue and digital video service and high-speed Internet services.

Unfortunately this will not affect me, since I have the Professional package which is 4 Mbps / 640 Kbps. However, rumors have it that in a few weeks it will be officially upped to either 6, 7, or 8 Mbps. At this time, they're trying various configurations since I've managed to hit anything from 500 to 615 kb/s on some downloads.
