    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ErinLMcKinlay Erin (@ErinLMcKinlay) reported

    @lisamwake @caitrionambalfe Sooo much wine. Now Cogeco has been having internet issues. 2 more weeks 😖🍷🍷🍷🍷

  • 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.

  • deaona918 Deaona918 (@deaona918) reported

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

  • fagdynamight agonychamp (@fagdynamight) reported

    imnot even mad at cogeco i’m happy i can just go back to sleep ijust think this is wildly hilarious . non ontario ******* for context a major internet service provider has stopped working for the second time in a week during prime work hours FHCDHDHCH

  • hotmessgirlmama 💫emily ~ soon to be mrs.fraser💫 (@hotmessgirlmama) reported

    @cogeco why is the internet not working for the 3rd time?! Seems like everyone I know with cogeco including myself is having issues with internet AGAIN 🙃

  • 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?

  • CayaHomes Geneviève Caya, MCNE (@CayaHomes) reported

    @MicheleAnnBrown @cogeco Their phone lines are down too, it hangs up on your after you choose a few options to try and reach someone.

  • 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...

  • Mellie0904 Melissa (@Mellie0904) reported

    @cogeco Wifi is down but I can plug in to my modem to get internet

  • 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.

  • Meekfoll Marieke (@Meekfoll) reported

    @cogecohelps These outages do not help us Online teachers keep a “normal” school day. This is getting ridiculous! #Cogeco

  • 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

  • vishnunkk vishnu (@vishnunkk) reported

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • OGkwlfca kwlfca (@OGkwlfca) reported

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

  • ahmose_I Hany Girgus (@ahmose_I) reported

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

  • vixxdog Steve Fox (@vixxdog) reported

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

  • bob_balint bob_balint (@bob_balint) reported

    @cogeco What is the issue? Customers deserve to know? What do you mean by outside of your network? Is it the same issue as Tuesday? Come on, treat customers as if they perhaps understand. Trust me, many do! You will earn trust if you are honest.

  • ria_kemper Rjk (@ria_kemper) reported

    @cogeco This is TERRIBLE!! Two times in one week!! I think I am finding a new provider.. Rogers, bell are not having this issue.. #dobettercogeco

  • theadamroman Adam R (@theadamroman) reported

    @cogeco Another fail Tristan

  • Ralosmar Raul (@Ralosmar) reported

    @cogeco Your phone lines are closed, Issue has been going on for hours and you are just acknowledging this, your support is non-existent and an insult to paying customers, the worse service provider in Canada.

  • JasonGiblen Jason Giblen (@JasonGiblen) reported

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

  • 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.

  • keentoride Keyna bracken (@keentoride) reported

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

  • 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
