  • KM1FC KM1FC (@KM1FC) reported

    @cogeco Can you give an idea of impacted regions and eta for the fix. I don’t think that’s to much to ask

  • whatusay_5 Molly (@whatusay_5) reported

    @cogeco @cogecohelps the internet is down can’t get through your help line - too busy keeps on hanging up. Can’t even get to alternative lines & your website all crashed! We’ve had issues with your service over 2 years & now a complete disaster since New Year’s Eve! @CRTCeng

  • agarwalsomya123 somya agarwal (@agarwalsomya123) reported

    @cogecohelps @cogeco @cogecohelps internet down in Burlington area?? Whats the eta? Customer support number not reachable?

  • jesshas94 Jessica Haskett (@jesshas94) reported

    @Todd0575 @cogeco I’m sure a provider will, maybe we should be letting them fix it rather than harassing them about a credit for being down for 2 hours :)

  • PaulHarryMartin Paul Martin (@PaulHarryMartin) reported

    @Andrade14Mike @VoltzDr @cogeco Mine was out like 3 days ago. They are pretty bad but there’s a serious lack of competition in many areas.

  • justincooke182 Justin (@justincooke182) reported

    @oskingpin @cogeco Once I noticed that my existing work VPN connection remained active while new connections on other devices in my home weren't loading, it was easy to pinpoint DNS as the issue. I assume the issues are purely DNS related on Cogeco's side.

  • CramerRoxanne Roxanne Cramer (@CramerRoxanne) reported

    Cogeco - why are you not answering the phone? No technical support?

  • moedej Moe (@moedej) reported

    Cogeco internet services down throughout the province. How do you plan @Sflecce to continue with online learning and return internet service to the rest of the province. Another detail overlooked by you and @fordnation !

  • PaulHarryMartin Paul Martin (@PaulHarryMartin) reported

    @KeeganB63977789 @validsporttakes @cogeco Because the government and CRTC have created an environment where there’s minimal competition in the world of internet and cell service. There’s really not many places to go especially depending on your area.

  • Donnie_D_Pain OG DooM Pain (@Donnie_D_Pain) reported

    @cogeco Any info on what happened this really sucks my kid had exam today

  • bencoleman1981 Ben Coleman (@bencoleman1981) reported

    @KeeganB63977789 @validsporttakes @cogeco Yeah except they never do give rebates I have lost a total of 2 weeks worth of use in the last 10 years and have never received one cent

  • paulgallo5 Paul Gallo (@paulgallo5) reported

    @FernandaWaheart @cogecohelps @cogeco Unbelievable you can’t give us an update it’s been out for an hour here I want a credit for down time and poor support services your support line goes busy immediately

  • Butterflyy98 Lauren (@Butterflyy98) reported

    @Doucet3 @cogeco Yes. It appears to be a DNS issue

  • nsbebe Ivana Markovic (@nsbebe) reported

    @cogecohelps is there a province wide cogeco issue for Internet?

  • cogeco Cogeco Connexion (@cogeco) reported

    Dear customers, please note that we are currently experiencing problems with our Internet services. Our technicians are working to restore these services as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your patience, - Marilyne Cogeco

  • aly77m Alysha (@aly77m) reported

    @HaltonDSB @cogeco is garbage... always issues with them. I’m sorry people have more stress piled on top of an already stressful situation.

  • BillcArthur Bill Arthur (@BillcArthur) reported

    @cogeco No service where I am in Cobourg

  • 4razberries Cindy L (@4razberries) reported

    @cogeco Cannot access your website, and your phones are also down, if I didn’t have Twitter I would not know what was going on

  • Andrade14Mike Mike Andrade (@Andrade14Mike) reported

    @wiljudson84 @KeeganB63977789 @cogeco Do want to go out on a date? Funny how u point out my tweets. But all those other people complaining over a company that went down is sad to see. Like I said first world issues.

  • 5heriBr0wn 5heriBr0wn (@5heriBr0wn) reported

    @cogeco Use an open dns server in the meantime cause the internet works. Cogeco’s automatic DNS Servers are down.

  • mowbraydave David Mowbray (@mowbraydave) reported

    @cogeco Hamilton still hit and miss with service. Let’s go!!!!

  • SeawayNews Cornwall Seaway News (@SeawayNews) reported

    @cogeco Hello, How many customers are currently affected by this outage?

  • limmereso Ryan Legault (@limmereso) reported

    My kid's schooling atm is internet dependent, and mine is all wonky. Can't call @cogeco because their service number is not working, so I'm stuck doing nothing with very bored and frustrated kids. Nothing at all that would make me want to take a blowtorch to all things...

  • nathanYYZ nathaniel w (@nathanYYZ) reported

    @cogeco Oh well it’s already down for an hour 😌

  • CathyHonderich Cathy Honderich Young (@CathyHonderich) reported

    @Uplandssarah Windsor radio station is saying Cogeco internet service is down. Not sure if it is that area only?

  • GamesAndThatGuy ZeusBaxter (@GamesAndThatGuy) reported

    @cogeco Why is it a busy signal on ever customer service line that I call?

  • Todd0575 Todd (@Todd0575) reported

    @cogeco Surely you will compensate your customer base accordingly... This is big.

  • paolina13 paola desousa (@paolina13) reported

    @cogeco Cogeco is terrible!!!! Cancelling

  • raptorsanityPS4 raptorsanityPS (@raptorsanityPS4) reported

    @Daniel75124110 @KeeganB63977789 @cogeco I have the UltraFibre 120+ and I've been getting <30 Mbps the last couple of weeks. Had a technician come yesterday assuring me he "fixed" the problem... somehow my internet got worse.

  • hobopops a Kanuck (@hobopops) reported

    @oskingpin @justincooke182 @cogeco Pretty sure the issue is with the DNS gateway.
