Seem to be working harder on customer service, which is a plus. Sam is a bit hard to explain things to on occasion, but is good with the basics.

Customer service "Max" saved my day!

Today June 27,2026. I went to my local cogeco store. In Windsor, ON. On Dougal St. I was having difficulty with switching from Bell to Cogeco cell. One of the agents on staff, "Max" went above and beyond helping me to get set up. He never gave up, until he finally had me up and running. New Sim activated and all my settings perfect. This man deserves to be recognized as a valuable employee. I will certainly be telling everyone I know the wonderful service I received today from Cogeco. Thank you Max!

Decent internet at thrice the price of others

Decent internet at thrice the price of others.

Unfortunatly at my second residence they are the only provider available so I have no choice to go with them but I pay more for 120 gBps then I do for 1Giga with videotron. After that I learn that they have been raising my price by 5$ every 6 months (without warning) to 115$/month (with a "loyalty" discount of 35$) but their actual price is for the service now is 75$ with a 30$ new member discount. Honestly a completely dishonest company that takes advantage of people not looking at their bills.

Make it easy

Terminating the service with Cogeco was really challenging. It took one month bouncing from one assistant to another without a result. Finally I spoke to Dejuan, and the question has been solved in minutes. Great empathy and the ability to make it appen in a simple way. Great job Dejuan thank you for your help.

Hirbod Korki was amazing

It was a wonderful experience. Hirbod Korki was very knowledgeable and informative and very patient and extremely helpful. I had absolutely no intention of switching to Cogeco and wanted to stay with Bell however he made the switch very easy for us to understand and we are happy with the plan.

It's been over a year of constant technical issues with the CNBC channel. It's always a mystery when turning on the tv too. Will the channels download? Do I have to unplug the cable box again? How long should I wait for the spinning wheel to stop?

This company provides technical support to it's customers. I can call anytime and get assistance with issues whether it is a phone issue, tv issues, WIFI issue, internet issue, account issue, modem issue etc. For this senior having technical assistance available to very, very important especially because I am not that computer savvy. Today, I had a particularly wonderful experience with an agent that was polite, helpful, knowledgeable and caring. My issue was resolved in 10 minutes. Great service

Cogeco Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Customer Relations-is Terrible!

When a customer calls in, it seems the people they initiated in the tech department to properly direct that customer’s call, (in an efficient manner), are either technically dumb, or simply enjoy controlling customers at all costs, (even if it ticks them off, to the point of leaving the company). Trying to get to customer service, is almost impossible. Once you enter a prompt, you’re stuck there with no way out to customer service.

Their phone prompts (do not address) customers based on their “pain points” from the most issues needing to be addressed, to the least. Instead, it seems the company is more obsessed with “pushing” control over their customers, who have no choice (in the Niagara region), but to use their services.

The government (through CRTC), (does not) allow other completely independent providers to service this region, with better, lower cost products, that don’t dis-respect the customers. Any push to have people provide their opinion on letting other providers into this area- is kept from the public’s knowledge. Either by not making it apparent, when we have a choice to vote on this, or simply by “stifling” internet comments, after they tell us we can have a say on the matter.

The freedom of large internet companies to move in is obstructed, so that the customers in the Niagara region, are at the mercy of those such as Cogeco (now charging us more, to upgrade their infrastructure). If we’re not happy with the way we are treated by an internet company here, those such as Cogeco, and Bell simply laugh it up, knowing we have no choice.

This is Canada, should we not have the opportunity to choose if another Canadian owned business wants to set up their business in this region, to provide customers with a better service? At the very least, giving us a choice, so we’re not stranded, at the mercy of smaller companies (we’re not happy with), begging “give us little guys, a chance to grow.” While residents in the region pay the price for it.

When I move from this region, I will be happy to be rid of Cogeco!

They consistently have my be interest in mind

In 30 years as a telecom/internet customer, this is the first time I can honestly say, "I trust my service provider. They consistently have my be interest in mind."

If I have a problem, they own it until it is fully resolved. They pro-actively find the best value for me, even if that is not why I called. They are always friendly and sincere.

Why Cogeco is the best cable/internet and now MOBILE PHONE provider

this was a great experience because the chat agent handled the call amazingly with grace.. and a clear understanding of the problem as well as a clear understanding of what would happen or need to be done. and helped me find the best solution. Cogeco has the fastest around... stable and good quality people when you need them. I've used them for about 26 years now with no complaints !!!!
