Cogeco Business Phone Service Reviews

Pros: Checks all the basic boxes.

Cons: Had no choice than to switch.

Overall Experience:

It took several hours on the phone to multiple supervisors before finally having someone else arrive to do the job correctly. Absolutely No customer service and No understanding of what is going on.

Pros: Reliable connection

Cons: Bit expensive.

Overall Experience:

I use Cogeco's services to have a reliable connection at home. The quality of the call is good, and I can even speak to my family in Europe without any disturbance. Moreover, their customer service is not only friendly but also helpful.

Pros: Always been reliable.

Cons: Never had any issues.

Overall Experience:

I have been with Cogeco for 2 years now and have never had any issues with them. I pay the regular monthly price and it's always been reliable. The quality of call has been good without any interruptions or dips in quality.

Pros: Good call quality.

Cons: No issues yet.

Overall Experience: I was really happy with the customer service I got from Cogeco. After my bill went up unexpectedly, I called to find out what happened. I was on the phone for all of five minutes when someone came on and addressed my concern. They knew exactly why my bill had gone up and were able to lower it back down for me.

Pros: Probably the best Internet/TV provider in Ontario. Internet speed is good.

Cons: Cable service is by far the most expensive. Skips and cuts out frequently.

Overall Experience:

Professional service, everything is well explained, always satisfied with the service thank you very much. I had it for 7 months. Internet speed was okay except for a 2,3 time shutdown.
But the customer service is sometimes not friendly. And also the services here are mediocre.

Pros: Very easy to use.

Cons: Customer support may respond slow.

Overall Experience:

I've been with Cogeco for over a year now and the service has been good. I was always afraid of losing connection but that never really happens. The call quality is pretty good as well- it's not always consistent, but it's better than most other services in my opinion. Overall, would recommend for anyone looking for a reliable internet service provider.

Pros: Many channels

Overall Experience:

The cable internet plans are only available to residents of Quebec and Ontario, so those in western Canada will have to choose a different provider.

Cogeco offers more channels and a better variety of shows. It also offers fast cable internet plans, but the price can be reduced.

Overall Experience: I've been with Cogeco for about a year and I haven't had any problems with them.

It rarely cuts out when I'm on the phone and the sound quality is always clear.

Pros: Very affordable.

Cons: No issues till now.

Overall Experience:

If you're looking for the best VoIP provider in Canada, Cogeco is the one you want. I've been with them for years now and every time I call customer service to talk about my bill, they are so helpful, understanding and quick. It's almost unreal how quickly they address my needs. My friends that use other providers were all jealous of how fast their connection is when we tested it side by side.

Pros: Customer service is good.

Cons: Little expensive.

Don't even think of wasting time and money on this provider's network infrastructure and technical skills including ticketing systems and overall dispatch/communication.

Overall Experience:

I am amazed by Cocego Internet Service again and again!! I can't have enough about them. After one year, I signed up with Cocego; I got a letter in the mail stating that they wanted to inform me that they had increased my Internet Speed by double complimentary!! Then the other day, I called them because I was constantly going over my monthly bandwidth ( 60GB, the highest when compared to similar packages with other providers ). I asked her if she had anything else to offer me with higher bandwidth, so she started reading me a new plan they had just started with, and it would double my bandwidth ( 120GB ) double my speed ( 30Mbit/sec ). I was like, WOW, and how much is this going to cost me!? She told me $59-and I asked her how much I am paying now, $57.-!!!

Pros:

Cons:

Overall Experience:

I've been a Cogeco customer for 20 years. Time after time they suspend my account for being a few days past the due date!! If I had another choice I would choose it.

I can't figure out how .. but my last bill said I used 205GB beyond my allowance. That's a total of 475GB. There is no way I used that much. It cost me $227 extra.

Pros: Calls never drop

Cons: No cons

Overall Experience:

I've been a customer for over 10 years now and I haven't had any problems with the service. The internet connection is always fast, their employees are very helpful and calls never drop. Honestly, there's no other company that compares to Cogeco.

Pros: No surprise fees

Cons: Spotty service

Overall Experience: All plans include a modem, and router. The recording runs even when the program ends, so we have to wait until the recording ends.

Pros: The customer service is great.

Cons: Little tricky setup.

Overall Experience:

I've been with Cogeco for a year now, and they are good at what they do.

Overall Experience:

I am a current customer of Cogeco and I've been with them for a while now. I have never had any issues with their service, and the people at the company are always friendly and willing to help.

Cons: Their cable service is by far most expensive.

Overall Experience:

Their cable service is by far the most expensive and the absolute worst quality!!! It skips all the time, cuts out constantly and for internet and for 10 English channels and internet at $150 a month, it's a rip off!

Local call center is a real bonus too. They are too expensive, but ALL Canadian tv/Internet companies are. I am amazed by the Cogeco Internet Service again and again!!

Pros: Probably the best Internet/TV provider in Ontario. Internet speed is good.

Cons: Way too expensive because they are mostly the only ones in the area. They are so bad that poor customer service employees wont pick up calls anymore.

Overall Experience:

Maybe the best Internet/TV provider in Ontario. I've had my trials with them over the 30 or so years I've used them, but 9 times out of 10 they get it right. As for this particular location, I had to walk in there to exchange my modem to one that could handle the new speed. The staff were friendly, down to the point and activated everything on the spot.

Pros: Cogeco provides inferior cable quality to high end boxes.

Cons: Poor customer service.They behave like a monopoly.

Their VOIP service has failed seven times for me in the last eighteen months. They are expensive. Their customer service is caustic. They added 'bandwidth surcharges' to internet service.

Overall Experience:

I am with them now for over 2 years and I have yet to encounter an outage with them!!

Cons: Their cable service is by far the most expensive and the absolute worst quality!!!

Overall Experience:

Took 5 phone calls to get Cogeco to stop billing me for the phone service I no longer have, claiming that they had never received the stop order from another agency I hired now for the phone. Stay away from Cogeco.

Pros: Technicians are good

Cons: Price increases constantly within the contract

Overall Experience:

They could not speak English, so I found it challenging to troubleshoot my issues. No contracts.

Pros: A year after I signed up with Cogeco I suddenly got a letter in the mail stating that they wanted to inform me that they have increased my Internet Speed by double complementary!

Cons: Cogeco overcharged me.

Overall Experience:

They make old school appointments for techs to come to your house, 5 or 6 hour windows. As if we all have that much time. Got suckered by Cogeco sales to go for their introductory phone and TV package.

Pros: Affordable services.

Cons: Customer service may respond late.

Overall Experience: I've been a customer with Cogeco for about a year now. I really like the pricing, but the customer service leaves something to be desired. They are usually very delayed in responding to inquiries and sometimes difficult to get a hold of on the phone. It is also not clear what VoIP services are included in my package, which is frustrating when trying to plan how I want my suite of services set up.

Overall Experience:

So far I had to go to the modem three times, unplug it, plug it back on, so we can get the internet back. Imagine 10 full days of this. Every time the new modem has a "glitch" the alarm panel gets disconnected. This is on top of you've been thrown out of the webpage you're in....or even a phone call.

Pros: Doubled my speed
