@cogeco.net | 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.... | |

| 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. | |

| 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,
