    @cogeco How come u guys r always having issues????

  • davidharvey David Harvey (@davidharvey) reported

    If you're having problems with Cogeco internet this morning, it's a DNS problem. If you know how, log into your router and add another DNS server to your configuration (eg. 8.8.8.8 or 208.67.222.222). That should solve the problem.

  • ceemady ChiChi C (@ceemady) reported

    People are losing their minds over cogeco internet being down and its hilarious. Mind you, I'm a customer too that has had countless issues with them, but guess what? It is what it is. I'm going to read, budget or go for a walk because internet is not my life.

  • cbarrett120206 Cathy Barrett (@cbarrett120206) reported

    Many internet outage for Cogeco users across the province. So I’ve lost a bunch of students and now slow and glitchy connection .... online learning when everyone is trying to be synchronous not ideal.

  • RedDragonTony Red Dragon Tony (@RedDragonTony) reported

    Jesus Christ, my Internet's slow as ****. What the hell is Cogeco's problem today?

  • broxsterman Guy (@broxsterman) reported

    @CalvinHtut @PapaB911 @cogeco Thanks? It is clearly Cogecos DNS servers. How do I change it back after Cogeco service resumes?

  • Deb_Is_Young Debbie Young Mayhew🇨🇦 (@Deb_Is_Young) reported

    Well, #remotelearning was not the pleasant experience this morning. #frozenscreen Cogeco widespread outage. Over half the classroom couldn't attend. This house is on Bell. So kids are on a 2 hour break to see if internet issues resolved. I even did a Windows update in her laptop

  • Gogomusicgo Ayla Taylor (@Gogomusicgo) reported

    @LilSarahBelle @Carminevittori5 @cogeco Wonder if they’d be mad if it went down when they are watching their fake wrestling...

  • doe_nadine Nadine Doe (@doe_nadine) reported

    @KeeganB63977789 @cogeco Not a Karen. A Nadine and yes I'm frustrated because I work from home. Come on @cogeco . I pay $100s / month for your service. I hope this isn't because kids are online now. Should've built capacity and bandwidth into the system to manage this...

  • sw0rdfish Randal “The Essential” (@sw0rdfish) reported

    If you're having issues with Cogeco in St. Catherine's/Niagara area, the problem is DNS related. Just set your network DNS to something like Cloudflare ( 1.1.1.1 ) or Google ( 8.8.8.8 ) Msg me if you don't know how.

  • jdeq Jerry DeQuetteville (@jdeq) reported from Burlington, Ontario

    Hmmm - cogeco internet is down across much of Ontario. What does your bloody online learning PPM say about Lecce? In other news, recess will be 5 hours today.

  • LisaHoadley Lisa Hoadley (@LisaHoadley) reported

    I'm having a weird morning. @cogeco internet is down yet for some reason my TV & desktop computer are still connected to / internet but my iPad & laptop are not. How is that even possible? I don't know what IT ppl get paid to wrestle with this stuff all day but it's not enough.

  • SitecoreChris SitecoreChris (@SitecoreChris) reported

    @carol_nasvytis @CBCAlerts @cogecohelps Just go into your cogeco modem and change the primary and secondary dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 then reboot the modem a couple times and it will then connect. Their DNS is down

  • MuscatDave Dave Muscat (@MuscatDave) reported

    @cogeco Do we have an ETA on when service will be back up and running. Was this just a network failure or was it an attack from a ransomeware or something similar?
