Aurora Cable Internet is a Canadian company, which provides digital cable television, cable internet and VOIP service in the towns of Aurora and Oak Ridges, Ontario.
The company uses Docsis ver. 2.0 systems.
ACI was the last remaining independently owned cable distributor in the Greater Toronto Area. Apart from Aurora, the region is served exclusively by larger national cable companies, either Rogers Cable or Cogeco.
In early 2008, Rogers received CRTC approval to overbuild portions of Aurora Cable's service area, a move that Aurora had opposed.[1] Shortly thereafter, Rogers announced an agreement to purchase Aurora, pending CRTC approval. [2]
The purchase agreement was finalized and approved on June 12, 2008 and Aurora Cable Internet became part of Rogers Cable services.
