Cogeco Launches Canadian Wireless Service, Plans to Cover 12 Markets in Coming Weeks

QUEBEC, CANADA, JUL 16 – Cogeco targets low-to-mid data users with service expansion to 12 markets in Ontario and Quebec, leveraging existing wireline subscribers and offering early sign-up bonuses.

  • Cogeco Inc., a Montreal-based telecommunications company, launched its Canadian wireless service on July 16, 2025, with initial customers already using it in 12 markets across Ontario and Quebec.
  • The launch followed a revenue projection downgrade to a low single-digit decline for the fiscal year, driven by increased competition and subscriber losses in the U.S. market.
  • The company reported a quarterly profit of $20.5 million for the period ended May 31, 2025, up from $19 million a year earlier, while revenue dropped from $777.2 million to $758.5 million.
  • Frédéric Perron, CEO, said on a conference call, "We're ready to go," but acknowledged wireless will take time to positively impact profits, and discounts offered will not last long.
  • Cogeco plans a full commercial launch this fall targeting low-to-mid data users and will offer a time-limited launch bonus to early mobile customers amid ongoing U.S. subscriber challenges.
