PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release
Cogeco Cable digital phone service now in Waterdown
Montréal, March 21, 2006 – Today, Cogeco Cable launched its digital phone service in
Waterdown, Ontario.
Territories and clientele
Like the residents of regions already served in Ontario and Québec, the majority of Waterdown
residents will be able to enjoy this attractive offer, starting today, whether or not they already
subscribe to a Cogeco Cable service. Currently, 36% of homes passed in the Corporation’s
territories have access to digital phone service. Service will continue to be rolled out to most cities
in Cogeco Cable’s territories by the end of 2006.
A comprehensive, accessible, and competitive offering
Cogeco Cable’s unique and all-inclusive digital phone service package includes unlimited
calling – routed on Cogeco Cable’s private network – in Canada and the continental US, the five
most popular calling features (Voice Mail, Call Display, Call Waiting, Visual Call Waiting and Call
Forwarding) as well as basic operator assistance and information services.
Waterdown residents, along with those of areas already served in Ontario, can now take
advantage of this offer for as little as $44.99 per month if they subscribe to Cogeco Cable’s high-
speed Internet and cable television service. They can also benefit from a highly attractive
promotion: $10 off their monthly bill for one year. This represents savings of up to 50% for a
similar combination of traditional services at regular rates offered by the incumbent telephone
company in those cities.
