Cogeco Cable is now offering its DOCSIS 3.0-based Ultimate 30 and Ultimate 50 data tiers in Shawinigan, Quebec.
Cogeco, which launched the tiers yesterday, said the new offerings were the fastest download speeds in the area.

“We always strive to offer our customers more flexibility, speed and choices.

Cogeco’s HSI packages like Ultimate 30 and Ultimate 50 meet those needs perfectly,” said Ron Perrotta, vice president of marketing and strategic planning at Cogeco Cable.
For Quebec customers of Cogeco’s video or phone services, the Ultimate 30 package is offered at $54.95 per month for the first 12 months, a savings of $5 per month, while Ultimate 50 is offered at $89.95 per month.
