  • LiaDePauw Lia De Pauw (@LiaDePauw) reported

    @alcdsb @cogeco How is attendance being tracked during the shut down? My Gr 1 is already proclaiming virtual learning boring and that he wants to quit. This format is not appropriate for early learners. It’s not necessary in our region either. Dropping out is 100% understandable.

  • Wjr64Bill Bill (@Wjr64Bill) reported

    @610CKTB Cogeco is the worst internet supplier I’ve ever had. We also have numerous short outages on the regular our here in Niagara region. They’re also quite expensive, definitely not worth what we’re paying.

  • ToddTates007 Todd Clancy (@ToddTates007) reported

    @_chris905 @Niagara_411 If you’re talking about cogeco not having the infrastructure that is incorrect. Literally every other internet service that uses cogeco lines is fine. It’s the same issue that happened the other day. The problem is leadership at cogeco and not fixing the root of the issue.

  • bjanglais Brian English (@bjanglais) reported

    So @cogeco, 2 days ago - province wide outage for ~ 1 hr Today - same thing at the same time of day. ❓What have you done to prevent this from happening again? If it does I’m switching providers - I need reliable internet for my kids to learn from home for the next month!

  • jeff_beairsto Jeff Beairsto (@jeff_beairsto) reported

    @cogeco Is this a Cogeco issue? Does Bell and Rogers have the same issues?

  • JanettaHowson Janetta Howson (@JanettaHowson) reported

    @cogeco Maybe if Cogeco didn’t lie about their products, eg fibre optic cables being installed, they wouldn’t have these problems. Hopefully Cogeco senior employees will start investing in Cogeco products and employees instead of taking the money for themselves.

  • TryHardRyckers Hilary Ryckman (@TryHardRyckers) reported

    @cogeco Very terrible I have been having internet issues for a while now where I am constantly having shut it down and restart it and now this. I have been contemplating switching to a new service for a while now because of these issues.

  • whatdoesntkillu Emily Spanton 🍁 (@whatdoesntkillu) reported

    @Sean_Vanderklis @cogeco School boards across the province are announcing issues... it seems fairly widespread 😕

  • vishnunkk vishnu (@vishnunkk) reported

    @cogeco Any one having issue , change your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

  • AdaClif Ada Clif (@AdaClif) reported

    @jeff_beairsto @cogeco Yes, its a widespread issue. Google: internet outage news

  • vishnunkk vishnu (@vishnunkk) reported

    @cogeco DNS issue .. pls change your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 .. that works

  • erinpepler Erin Pepler (@erinpepler) reported

    @dania_thurman @Ward2Lisa @cogeco It just went back on! So not as long of an outage this time, but still super disruptive. One of the teachers is on Cogeco and was also down, so even the kids on Bell were offline...

  • RONbMILLS Ron Mills (@RONbMILLS) reported

    @cogecohelps @cogeco fix your DNS issues or accept defeat and tell users how to update their DNS settings on their router to Google’s 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. You just saved a bunch of teachers and students griefs.

  • JasonGiblen Jason Giblen (@JasonGiblen) reported

    @alancross Mine is fine in Streetsville (Rogers). My sons teacher in Burlington (Cogeco) is down.

  • StingRMan Dave Beaudoin (@StingRMan) reported

    @cogeco It sucks you close you phone off to customers for help. Why is there a busy signal when you phone 1-866-774-8888

  • Phos4ic Tyler Phillips (@Phos4ic) reported

    @cogeco My cogeco internet service is down again. Please work harder on ensuring reliability. We pay $140/month for unreliable service.

  • deaona918 Deaona918 (@deaona918) reported

    @cogeco Hi, I’m having issues with my Internet again. This is the 3rd time this week

  • littleabner_amy Amy 🇨🇦🙏🏻🧘🏼‍♀️🖤❤️🏳️‍🌈Wear the Mask! (@littleabner_amy) reported

    @servicesdown_ Yup Cogeco you suck !!! Maybe pay the CEO slightly less and invest in some equipment!!!! This is going to keep happening and will get worse, worse service ever....but at least they have friendly people online and on the phones. RIP OFF, scam!!!

  • leo_tirone Leo (@leo_tirone) reported

    @cogeco I hope the proactive update is better than this because I’ve been down for 1.5 hours and finally heard from someone.

  • webstrategist Dave Manning (@webstrategist) reported

    @HaltonDSB @ONgov If you are having issues with Cogeco (DNS issue) today and earlier this week, a work around is to change the DNS server and backup on your home router to Google's DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

  • ahmose_I Hany Girgus (@ahmose_I) reported

    @cogeco Guys, it’s getting to be too much. I am very close to make a decision to switch a more reliable service provider. Also, why do we have to pay in full for a service that is so unreliable?

  • keentoride Keyna bracken (@keentoride) reported

    @ajbr920 @cogeco Now it is. Touch wood. Is explanation 4 frequent issue infrastructure?

  • theadamroman Adam R (@theadamroman) reported

    @cogeco Another fail Tristan

  • Outnumbered5_1 Craig (@Outnumbered5_1) reported

    @cogeco Since Cogeco probably doesn’t want you doing so, for those that know how, this issue can be resolved by changing your DNS server on your modem/router settings. Google’s DNS server is 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.

  • ahmose_I Hany Girgus (@ahmose_I) reported

    @FarahNasser Well, that if your internet service provider is reliable, not @cogeco

  • OGkwlfca kwlfca (@OGkwlfca) reported

    @cogeco Okay but why is customer service completely unavailable? That’s unacceptable

  • Jodster99 Jody (@Jodster99) reported

    @ShawnyRHarvey @gunner101 @cogeco Oddly, I've been having the opposite results! Same issue but laptop spins and phone works.. (Maybe it's the data plan?) ANYWAY.... hope you get back at it soon enough!

  • OGkwlfca kwlfca (@OGkwlfca) reported

    @cogeco Why is customer service completely unavailable?

  • mcewen650 Mark McEwen (@mcewen650) reported

    @cogeco hi. I recently signed up for 2 year internet. Well... If another outage happens, you can take your "2 year contract"& stick it. I work from home. If you can't provide stable service, I will go back to @bell. And if you think I'll pay an early exit fee... You're so wrong

  • vixxdog Steve Fox (@vixxdog) reported

    @cogecohelps @cogeco I finally found a way to reach someone at Cogeco and eventually got transferred into tech support.
