Cogeco announces major expansion as a competitive force across most of Québec

MONTRÉAL, Oct. 23, 2025 /CNW/ - Cogeco Communications Inc. (TSX: CCA)  announces today another major phase in its growth journey: the broad-scale rollout of its home Internet service across most of Québec, including Montréal, Laval, Gatineau, Sherbrooke and, as previously announced, Québec City.

"After successfully bringing much needed competition to the wireless industry, today, we're taking another critical step, expanding our home Internet service across the majority of Québec," said Frédéric Perron, President and CEO of Cogeco. "Canadians have been clear¹: regional carriers, like us, are vital in providing a compelling alternative to the three dominant telecom players. Ever since our founding in Trois-Rivières, nearly 70 years ago, we have been dedicated to providing more choice to Canadians."

This market expansion is driven by a commitment to delivering a modern digital experience, combined with simple and transparent pricing, to increase competition to the major incumbents.

Residents in the new expansion areas are invited to enter their address to confirm availability by visiting Cogeco's website at cogeco.ca/en/internet/packages. They can find pricing and offers in their region and subscribe as of today.
