Frequently asked questions

How can I verify my bandwidth use with my Cooptel high-speed service?

From the Cooptel main page, www.cooptel.qc.ca, click on the link “View my consumption”.

Please enter your username (ie: username@cooptel.qc.ca, and only enter what is in front of the @cooptel.qc.ca) and your password in the window that will appear on your screen, and click on OK.

Then, select the month for which you want to see your consumption and click on the “View” button. You will then have access to your consumption of the previous twelve months.

What is a username?

Your username is what is in front of the @ of your Cooptel email address. (ie: username@cooptel.qc.ca)

The username can also be called: User ID, Account name, Login.

Do I have to prepare my computer for high-speed internet services?

Cooptel suggests to verify if your computer:

  • has the minimum specifications required;
  • does not have a virus or spying software «spyware»;
  • has the last operating system update. If you use Windows : use the «Windows Update»
  • is placed close to a telephone jack for an ADSL connexion (the high-speed modem must be plugged into a telephone jack). Cooptel provides a 6 foot “ethernet” cable to plug the modem to the computer.
What is a telephone filter?

This equipment prevents the high frequencies of your ADSL high speed modem from producing interference on your telephone line. You must use the filters with your Cooptel ADSL internet connexion to ensure optimum performance. If the filters are not correctly installed, you could hear noise on the line.

NOTE : Filters have to be put on each equipment that shares the same telephone line as your ADSL high-speed modem: telephone, fax machine, alarm system, etc.

It is important not to put the telephone filter on the socket where you plug in your high-speed modem; this blocks the signal and you will not have access to the high-speed internet service.

How can I obtain additional telephone filters?

When you buy your modem at Cooptel, we will give you two filters free of charge. To obtain additional filters, please communicate with customer service to make the purchase at the cost of 5$ each.
