Here is a quick post detailing the bandwidth caps on Cogeco internet services. This listing shows Cogeco bandwidth caps for residential internet services. From our understanding Cogeco calculates usage in GBs where 1GB = 1024MBs. Bandwidth calculations are based on a monthly basis. So each bandwidth cap below applies to a given month (Example: Jan 1st to Jan 31st). After the month the bandwidth cap resets to zero and from there your caps start again.
This list should help you base the bandwidth caps provided by Cogeco with the Internet service that fits your usage. For example if you only use the Internet for browsing email and searching web pages you would be better off with the Cogeco Lite internet as your usage will not require a lot of bandwidth. If you download or stream video often you would be better off with the Cogeco Standard Internet, etc…
