May 18th is when my internet switches over to Start.ca, saving $15 a month with a larger cap and almost the exact same speeds! It's a shame I will be missing this hike... |

Been there, done that, pleased with the results so far. 
However, GOUGEco is jerking START around on speed matching for the 20/1.5 tier (which they offer their OWN end users), and only giving START/us 16/1, even if we have a D3 modem (and I do).
Still, a solid feed, minimal congestion, a 300GB monthly usage cap with a lower UBB rate, good support, and money saved.
Be sure to get a D3 Modem for least local 'hood node congestion.

(2) That they already HAVE !

"We’ve increased our download speeds and monthly Internet usage allowance on most of our packages so you can get the most out of your Internet experience. "
I can't find a summary of what packages increased the Internet usage allowance and by how much (if anything).
Also they need to fix this error :
"We’ve launched two new High Speed Internet packages in the majority of the cities we serve, with faster than ever. Download speeds of up to 30 Mbps and up to 55 Mbps3 depending on your choice of package" |

Saving money, better services. Yeah man.

As my wages are frozen by my employer, so are your increases in my bill Cogeco....
I could care for your rationalization of the price increase....bottom line..my monthly bill will not increase.
As a Bell cell phone user, I expect to cancel the phone outright and reduce services while I'm at it ...
Shame on you for increasing my bill..... |

This is fraking retarded!!
Ultimate 50, Upgraded to Ultimate 55. NO CHANGE in billing.
Ultimate 30, Nothing, BUT I HAVE TO PAY MORE?!?!
What asinine individual(s) at Cogeco think it's a good idea or fair, to make me (the Ultimate 30 subscriber) pay for the upgrade that the Ultimate 50 (now 55) subscribers got?
Am I the only one seeing an error in this logic?

Don't hold back, now - Tell us how you REALLY feel. 
Seriously though - how big of a hike is it for the 30/2 plan ?
I'm curious how much more I saved by leaving them already for START, compared to what I had thought ?
EDIT : 2 more bucks plus HST - That's nearly $20 saved per month, and I get nearly DOUBLE the monthly usage cap too, and half the UBB rate per GB if I ever DO go over.
I can't complain. |

For me it's not that big a deal as they are dropping the HD access fee, so I'll be paying the same, if not a little bit less. They are still better than Bell and Rogers, but that's not saying much. |

I'm currently on promo pricing, and Cogeco has verified that their increases do not go into effect until after my promo period ends. |

I rec'd my letter via email. I haven't read it to see if my rates are going up yet but I've already decided my Cogeco bill is too high and am evaluating my options.
Options:
1. Drop home phone (ultimate LD is kinda nice but...)
2. Buy Apple TV
3. Get netflix
I want movies and TV programs without commercials and when I want them so I've always loved my PVR. I'm not a heavy TV watcher but when I want to 'check out' I don't want to be subjected to crap which is honestly 90% of what I'm paying for.
I want HD
I want uninterrupted movies
I want uninterruped TV shows (including Top Gear and 30 Rock)
What I get:
A lot of garbage
A lot of sport
A lot of reality tv (see garbage)
A lot of commercials
Nothing on when I want to have down time.
