There may be other options available to you than cable. Sympatico et al
are great if all you want to do is surf, download etc., but can be a bit
rough if you want to run servers.

Cable connectivity has a higher bandwidth ceiling than ADSL etc., but that
ceiling is not stable, fluctuating with shared usage on the trunk, etc.
Also, being a bigger ISP (I think Cogeco is a layer 1 provider) could mean
that they may eventually block certain ports sooner than later.

If this is a commercial account, I would suggest going with a mini-ISP
that has decent support (you can talk to a reasonably knowledgable tech
with a phone call), pricing plan etc., as they are more likely to be able
to respond to your needs more than any of the monopolists will.
