    @cogeco Waiting. Been with Cogeco for more than 3 years. Never experienced this. Hoping for a quick resolution. My phone’s data will be over soon.

  • LilLuigiBro LilLuigi (@LilLuigiBro) reported

    @JessPetrella82 @cogeco Maybe you should speak to the Manager of the internet! I bet you stating useless information while technicians are working hard will forsure help solve this issue! Keep up the good work Mrs.Twitter Fingers!

  • zurberts Mike P (@zurberts) reported

    @justincooke182 @cogeco Thanks. I confirmed the DNS change works. Thanks Justin. Sucks that there is an outage but at least this works around it.

  • tkmaccers Tracy McDonald (@tkmaccers) reported

    SWPS , some stf & stdnts may be expc’g the following. Cogeco posted: we are investigating an issue impacting our Internet services. Our technicians are working to resolve this situation as soon as possible. @SandwichWestPub @kathlearn @toddawender

  • Amy12724680 Amy (@Amy12724680) reported

    @Carminevittori5 @cogeco I hope that if all the customers pay less money for this hour (more for me cuz it's not back yet), and all the problems that created Cogeco doesn't (by interrupting service) complaint and will b able to survive right.

  • JAD216 John Dennis (@JAD216) reported

    @CHEXNewswatch It came back on , but it is slow response. I would think that it may be by-passed the issue for repair thus becoming SECOND in line to host of Internet space. Seems every winter there is a fiber line cut or damaged beyond Cogeco's control.

  • bdepaepe63 Bryan de Paepe (@bdepaepe63) reported

    @JessPetrella82 @cogeco It's called entropy and all matter is subject to it's effects. Computers will eventually all have an internal connection break, just like cars they will break down eventually, nothing lasts forever.

  • Costa_Klad Costa K (@Costa_Klad) reported

    @cogeco @OakvilleMayor Can you please publish instructions for users to change their DNS to googles DNS which would solve the problem for them until you fix your DNS servers

  • ChunChihDavidW1 Chun-Chih (David) Wang (@ChunChihDavidW1) reported

    Second day of the winter semester remote working/learning and #cogeco internet went down. It's going to be a long year.

  • yepangzi Michael Ye (@yepangzi) reported

    @cogeco The price is so high compared to that in GTA, and yet the service is so questionable

  • aisforangelo Angelo Lariccia (@aisforangelo) reported

    @cogeco Appreciate any update asap, good or bad

  • lesley170 lesley edwards (@lesley170) reported

    @cogeco Any news on how long it will take? And is this disrupting internet service all over or just in Port Colborne ON?

  • ArkhamBatGirl Camarogirl ☣️ (@ArkhamBatGirl) reported

    @cogeco Mines been down since 4:30am. I signed up for notification by text and never received a text about this outage.

  • Mkumar84 Mahesh Kumar (@Mkumar84) reported

    @cogeco It seems to be working now but, very slow. Good to be back. Thank you.

  • peggygrace71 Peggy Grace (@peggygrace71) reported

    @cogeco My internet is back on but very slow!!

  • Manafhasan Manaf (@Manafhasan) reported

    @cogeco Service in Oakville are back again but it’s so slow and unreliable

  • SitecoreChris SitecoreChris (@SitecoreChris) reported

    @carol_nasvytis @CBCAlerts @cogecohelps Can you login to your cogeco modem? If so you click on connections and wan then edit then where it says primary dns you click manual and enter 8.8.8.8 then where it says secondary dns set it to 8.8.8.4 then save. It will restart your modem then you will have access again

  • dieanne_arts diane 💕 (@dieanne_arts) reported

    i was just gonna tweet bout how cogeco is down in ontario but whoops its back for me

  • hockeyofficial2 marincin4ever (@hockeyofficial2) reported

    @cogeco what the hell is wrong with your service. This is the worst

  • Timi_TV_ Timi (@Timi_TV_) reported

    @cogecohelps Imagine paying for internet and having to fix the DNS yourself. Big middle finger from cogeco to its customers

  • broxsterman Guy (@broxsterman) reported

    @cogeco With such a substantial outage impacting millions, during a pandemic, I think more frequent updates would be appropriate

  • JimboSweets SomethingsGonnaGive (@JimboSweets) reported

    @CardsChris @fordnation @cogeco Why is that Fords problem?

  • RachelVeres Rachel Veres is hydrating🍁 (@RachelVeres) reported

    @mitchel_susan We have Cogeco lines but through Teksavvy. No issues, but our ever diligent on line teacher lost her connection and was trying to teach through her phone. We are so lucky to have her. She always goes the extra mile for the kids.

  • agarwalsomya123 somya agarwal (@agarwalsomya123) reported

    @cogeco Hi @cogeco @cogecohelps this is to inform you that my internet started working suddenly. Not sure if the issue is fixed permanently or internet might go out again. Thanks for your efforts.

  • Bossman_2222 Blake Waddell (@Bossman_2222) reported

    @cogeco @cogeco You should really tweet out the pointing your DNS to google will fix the issue

  • geezheeztall Geezheeztall🇨🇦 (@geezheeztall) reported

    @cogeco My connection was still live with nothing resolving, so I tried the dns swap as others mentioned. I used Cloudflare with Google as secondary on my internal router. Up and going. Hopefully they fix the problem soon.

  • Licab1968 Li (@Licab1968) reported

    @OakvilleBeaver @cogeco Cogeco service is really bad for internet and cable.! Regardless of an outage or not. So fed up of their service. And lower your prices!

  • kevin_geenen Kevin Geenen (@kevin_geenen) reported

    The Ontario Cogeco outage today accentuates what we already know: lockdowns continue to benefit the rich and leave ordinary people behind. Big box stores open. Small businesses closed. School for those who can afford top-of-the-line Internet. And no school for those who cannot.

  • WayneBHay 🇨🇦 Canada ❤ 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇦🇺 (@WayneBHay) reported

    @RickeyArmy_1 @westi3mom @cogeco Don't enjoy paying for something I can't get... Went for a stretch last year when it was down every day for 2 weeks, hours at a time. Is that a "normal" outage?

  • Sparks_DJH David (@Sparks_DJH) reported

    @AlexandraMazur1 just want to let your readers know. The cogeco internet outage is related to their DNS servers. If they change their dns settings to google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 they will be back online
