100% uptime when your modem is down?

Uptime means uptime, just because you see lights on your modem doesn't mean 'uptime'..... uptime is when service is available.... you said 100% uptime when you said you'd had such crap luck with them....

Re: 100% uptime when your modem is down?

You obviously don't read very good I said the light has a 100% uptime it's always flashing ! It's got better as of late but it's still seems like they're guessing why my signal is so wacky

cogeco speeds

cogeco ping rates have always been great according to other
reviews. i've heard of problems with the p2p and torrents
though and thats pretty much hit and miss. some people say its traffic shaping and that can be countered by using azereus with encryption turned on. before u make a decision
i would suggest trying the same service with another pc or
borrow a laptop.

good luck.

Agreed

Only the hick small served cities have the full caps. I have the 16Mb/1Mb tier, and I am lucky to get 8Mb down (I do get pretty close to 1Mb upload though.

Cogeco sure didn't do the proper forecasting of bandwidth usage once the new speeds were implemented..

I guess they wanted to be able to advertise they have 10Mb and 16Mb tier. I cant wait until they start packet shaping the downloads........................................ ROFL....

Oh well, I guess they are marginally better than crappy Sympatico.. I'm literally stuck between between buying a Douche or a Turd Sandwich.

Re: Agreed

the guys name is warez zealot? oh lord...

well cogeco's real problem is that they've offered new speeds, and their backhaul from toronto (where they aggregate their downstreams, which sadly consist of cogent communications and peer1 now ;() to burlington (where they actually aggregate the cable modems) is an overloaded oc48. they are working to fix this afaik. not that this means anything to most people whining on forums

having said that cogeco delivers relatively good service, i was a beta tester for cablenet's wave 10 years ago, and have been loyal since then. face it, bell's atm cloud is congested, and their network is wellfare :P the other little dsl resellers varry in quality, so read wisely before signing.

praise the lord for inventing the p-cube, and allowing them to throttle p2p because of this, i get ~1080KBytes (not bits) sustainable almost around the clock, but I live in a pretty sparse area (large lots, fewer homes per docsis bottleneck) in the GTA.

cheers kids,

Small CAPACITIES

I recently got cogeco high speed lite and did not know there was a capacity for high speed. I was not told there was a cap nor was i even told that i needed to download the security i paid for!! . All the information is on the web site and not 1 PERSON told me this.The cap for lite is 1gb upload and 1gb download 2gb combined. This cap cost me 80$ EXTRA! Apparently though the cap is now 10gb combined although my usage still says 2gb and i don't know if you get charged extra after 2gb or 10gb??I emailed tech but they didnt explain if i get charged extra after 2gb or 10gb. So confusion with cogeco?Yes lots of it and although the tech support is friendly and the speeds are approx 624kbps down 134kbps up im switching to mountain cablevision for unlimited for 5$ more. »www.mountaincable.net/
