(1) AN AUDIT OF HOMES PASSED IN ONTARIO WAS COMPLETED DURING FISCAL 2007 AND, AS A RESULT, THE NUMBER OF HOMES PASSED WAS
REDUCED BY 42,386.
(2) HSI SERVICE CUSTOMERS WHO DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO OTHER CABLE SERVICES AND BASIC CABLE SERVICE CUSTOMERS.
(3) THE NUMBER OF DIGITAL TELEVISION SERVICE CUSTOMERS FOR FISCAL 2005 WAS RESTATED TO REFLECT CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY COGECO
CABLE’S BILLING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE CORPORATION TO IDENTIFY DIGITAL TELEVISION CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS
THAT WERE NOT CANCELLED WHEN THEY BECAME INACTIVE. THIS CHANGE RESULTED IN A DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT OF 8,085 CUSTOMERS
AS AT AUGUST 31, 2005.
(4) CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF THE SYSTEMS WHERE THE SERVICE IS OFFERED.
