Cogeco Ultimate 30 and Ultimate 50 High Speed Internet:
New, Fast, Affordable and Now in Drummondville
Montréal, July 6, 2010 – Cogeco Cable (TSX: CCA) today announced the launch of two new
High Speed Internet (HSI) packages, Ultimate 30 and Ultimate 50, in Drummondville, Québec.
Powered by DOCSIS 3.0 technology, the two packages enable Cogeco to offer its residential
customers the fastest download speed at the most affordable price available today compared to
competitors in its footprint. The Ultimate 30 package offers speeds of up to 30 Mbps for downloads
and up to 1.5 Mbps for uploads with a monthly download cap of 100 GB. For the Ultimate 50
package, speeds can reach 50 Mbps for downloads and 1.5 Mbps for uploads with a monthly
download cap of 150 GB.
“We always strive to offer our customers more flexibility, speed and choices. Today, the whole
family can use the Internet at the same time for online banking, video gaming, shopping or for
downloading videos or films, and all with the same service. Cogeco’s HSI packages like Ultimate 30
and Ultimate 50 meet those needs perfectly,” said Ron Perrotta, Vice-President, Marketing and
Strategic Planning at Cogeco Cable.
Cogeco’s Ultimate 30 and Ultimate 50 are powered by DOCSIS 3.0, a technology of data
compression that allows a more efficient and economical use of bandwidth. Thus, Cogeco Cable is
in a very good position to meet the increasing bandwidth need at a very competitive cost and to
offer access to a higher data rate, a better video configuration and an increased level of safety.
For customers of Cogeco Television or Home Phone service, Cogeco’s Ultimate 30 package costs
$59.95 per month, and Ultimate 50, $89.95 per month. Cogeco customers who subscribe only to
Cogeco Internet service pay $64.95 per month for Ultimate 30 and $94.95 per month for

extra charge. The Ultimate 30 and Ultimate 50 packages will be rolled-out gradually throughout our
service territory.
