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…

Cogeco cable provides its internet customers with a variety of internet packages to choose from. These Cogeco internet tiers are listed below with their respective speeds, Cogeco bandwidth limit (cap) and over usage charges.
Descriptions:
Cogeco Speed – Cogeco Speed Shows the upload and download speed associated with the particular internet package.
Cogeco Bandwidth Limit (Cap) – Shows the maximum amount of internet bandwith you are allowed per month. Going over this amount will result in you paying a over usage charge for each GB of bandwidth that you have gone over the bandwidth cap.
Over usage – The charge per GB you must pay if you go over your bandwidth cap. Example: Say you are subscribed to the Cogeco Ultimate internet tier and you used 170 GB of upload and download bandwith last month. Well, as we can see in the below chart the Ultimate package has a monthly bandwidth cap of 150GB. But, we are over 20GB. 170GB (Used) – 150 GB (Allowed) = 20GB. Looking at the below chart again we see the over usage charge for the Cogeco Ultimate internet tier is $1.00 per GB over. 20GB (over) x $1.00 = $20.
