now offered in Napanee
Montréal, August 18, 2011 – Cogeco Cable (TSX: CCA) today announced the launch of the
Business Ultimate 30 and Business Ultimate 50 High Speed Internet (HSI) packages in Napanee,
Ontario. Starting today, the majority of Cogeco’s customers who currently subscribe to the Business
HSI Enterprise service in Napanee will be upgraded to the Ultimate 50 package at no extra cost.
Furthermore, both Business Ultimate 30 and Business Ultimate 50 will be available to new
customers looking to give their businesses a boost from ultra-fast web internet connectivity.
Business Ultimate 50 offers its subscribers unparalleled speed and performance, while removing
any worry about data transfer limitations. It boasts the same generous features as the Enterprise
package it replaces, such as an unlimited bitcap, but now includes a faster download speed of up to
50 Mbps, and an upload speed of up to 2 Mbps. In fact, it is the fastest Business HSI service offered
in our markets. Business Ultimate 30 offers a 300 Go data transfer limit, download speeds of up to
30 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 2 Mbps.
“Made for your business… We can say this because we understand the unique nature of small
business and create services that meet their needs. We offer faster speeds, flexible terms, reliable
connections, extended hours for local support and generous data transfer allowances. We are
continually looking to introduce new products and service enhancements that are made for our
customers, giving them genuine business benefits. This is why our new Business Ultimate 30 and

and Strategic Planning at Cogeco Cable.
Cogeco’s Business Ultimate 30 and Business Ultimate 50 HSI packages 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 well positioned to meet the increasing bandwidth needs of
today’s small businesses at a very competitive cost.

$139.95 per month with a twelve-month commitment and $149.95 with no commitment. Ultimate 50
package costs $189.95 per month with a three-year commitment, $199.95 per month with a twelve-
