Breezeline Business Internet in Ohio

Breezeline is Cogeco's US brand and in Ohio it holds the former WideOpenWest systems in Columbus and Cleveland, bought in September 2021 for about 1.125 billion dollars and moved onto the Breezeline name on 9 May 2022. It has since put more than 100 million dollars into that Ohio plant, more than doubling capacity from 500 Gbps to 1.2 Tbps. It is a two metro operator here rather than a statewide one, and in both of those metros it is the third wireline option.

Where Breezeline is strong

A genuine third wireline option in Columbus and Cleveland, where the alternative is the incumbent telco and Charter
Substantial recent investment in the Ohio plant rather than a network being run down
Fast installs where the cable plant already reaches the building
Competitive pricing pressure in two markets that would otherwise be a two horse race

Breezeline in Ohio specifically

Columbus and Cleveland only. It is not a statewide Ohio option and it does not follow Charter's map.
Being a genuine third wireline choice is the point of quoting it. In both metros the alternative is the incumbent telco and Charter.
More than 100 million dollars of recent investment in the Ohio network, so this is a plant being built up rather than run down.
Cable and fiber under one brand. Confirm which product is quoted and check the upload figure on any coax tier.
Ohio paperwork from before mid-2022 says WOW! or Atlantic Broadband. Same plant, and Breezeline is the counterparty now.

Best fit. Columbus and Cleveland businesses looking for a third quote rather than a two horse race.

What to watch for before you sign

Columbus and Cleveland. It is not a statewide Ohio option and it does not follow Charter's map.
Cable and fiber under one brand. The advertised cable tiers are shared and asymmetrical, so check the upload figure.
Confirm whether the quote is a coax service or a fiber Ethernet service, because the SLAs are not comparable.
Older Ohio contracts say WOW!. Same plant, different company since September 2021.

Breezeline in Ohio: common questions

Is Breezeline available at my Ohio address?

Carrier footprints change constantly and no public map is accurate at the building level. We check serviceability directly with each carrier before telling you what you can get. Give us the address and we will confirm with Breezeline directly, along with every other carrier that could reach it.

Is Breezeline the cheapest option in Ohio?

Sometimes, and it depends almost entirely on whether your building is already on their network. A carrier who is already in the building will normally beat a carrier who has to build, regardless of list pricing.

Can I buy Breezeline through you at the same price?

Yes. Pricing is the same as going direct. The difference is that you get every other carrier's number at the same time, and you are not managing the process yourself.
