Cogeco Launches Wireless Service in 12 Ontario and Quebec Markets

The offering leverages CRTC’s MVNO framework to reinforce bundles for existing wireline subscribers.

Overview

  • Cogeco has begun activating its first wireless customers and is rolling out services in 12 Ontario and Quebec markets ahead of a full launch this fall.
  • The mobile plans, aimed at low-to-mid data users, are available exclusively to Cogeco’s existing wireline subscribers.
  • Early adopters can benefit from a time-limited launch bonus that incentivizes initial sign-ups.
  • The service runs on third-party networks under the CRTC’s MVNO framework without requiring new network infrastructure.
  • Cogeco reported a Q3 profit of $20.5 million but lowered its 2025 revenue forecast to a low single-digit decline due to competitive pressures.
