Will a Technician Need to Visit My Home?


It's a simple process that mainly depends on your previous provider's connection type.


  • You may need a technician if: Your former provider used a different connection type, like ADSL or fiber. The technician's visit is simply to install a coaxial cable and ensure the signal is optimal, so you're ready to enjoy our services.
  • You likely won't need a technician if: You already have a working coaxial cable in your home that doesn't have a security lock on it. If so, you'll be eligible for a remote activation.


All of our services are offered via self-installation, and we've designed our [installation guide](Will a technician come to install my Cogeco equipment?) to make the process easy and straightforward.
