Cogeco Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Sparks_DJH David (@Sparks_DJH) reported

    @LimestoneDSB The issue is with Cogeco's DNS servers. If you change the DNS servers on your router to google's DNS it fixes the issues. 8.8.8.8 8.8.8.4

  • FIREIXII Bill Thorne (@FIREIXII) reported

    @MohawkCollege are you aware of the large Cogeco outage. Some people might miss orientation. Any chance they are recorded for playback later?

  • Mac_Leod1 Nick MacLeod (@Mac_Leod1) reported

    @cogeco Can you hurry this **** up I’ve got class in 23 minutes

  • jesshas94 Jessica Haskett (@jesshas94) reported

    @Todd0575 @cogeco Service outages happen everywhere with everyone. Judging by the wide scale outage and the website and phones not working it sounds like something outside of cogeco’s control. Google is having some problems too. It’s better to research and understand not ***** all the time.

  • unharmonizedd rebecca (@unharmonizedd) reported

    @cogeco Like I have never met a worse internet service provider

  • BenjimanPower Benjiman Power (@BenjimanPower) reported

    @cogeco If anyone wants help with this message me. It’s pretty easy to fix

  • rob_edw Rob (@rob_edw) reported

    For those with #Cogeco, if you're experiencing connection problems, you can hardcode 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 as your DNS servers until Cogeco fixes the issue on their end. Please dm or @me if you want to know how to do this

  • Mkumar84 Mahesh Kumar (@Mkumar84) reported

    @cogeco . Connection has been down since last couple of hours. I ordering is there is an eta. Phone’s data is getting over soon. Never experienced this outrage before.

  • nick_adshead Nick adshead (@nick_adshead) reported

    @cogeco @cogecohelps wtf is up with the internet? How are my kids suppose to learn.

  • ScottWooder Scott Wooder (@ScottWooder) reported

    My home internet is down so missing meetings. At first I thought this was tragic but the more I think of it, the more I like it. #Cogeco

  • pkinta Pedro (@pkinta) reported

    @adamfilip @cogeco For me it kinda works, slow as hell and unreliable. I've also tried the cloudfare public DNS, same result

  • limmereso Ryan Legault (@limmereso) reported

    @Tierney4351 @cogeco I love that they have like, three or four people staffing their help lines for, what, a million or so customers? Maybe more?

  • AndrewBMowat Andrew Mowat (@AndrewBMowat) reported

    @cogecohelps received an email from the Halton School Board that Cogeco service is down. No information shared generally from Cogeco. Very frustrating.

  • copysoflou emolys real gf (@copysoflou) reported

    @cogeco if i don’t have wifi within the next 10 minutes i’m telling my mom to cancel

  • Carminevittori5 Carmine vittorio (@Carminevittori5) reported

    @cogeco WAS THAT SO HARD PEOPLE...IT WAS DOWN FOR AN HOUR. WE ARE ABLE TO SURVIVE WITHOUT INTERNET SO STOP COMPLAINING WHEN IT GOES DOWN. WERE FORTUNATE IN THIS LIFE TO HAVE INTERNET.

  • Andrade14Mike Mike Andrade (@Andrade14Mike) reported

    @Middleaged75 @cogeco My son is back on the pc. But my pc doesn't work haha

  • Ivriniel Ivriniel (@Ivriniel) reported

    @DrWho71 @colinjagoe Cogeco is having a major outage right now, so I have no internet except on my phone.

  • limmereso Ryan Legault (@limmereso) reported

    @Tierney4351 @cogeco SUPER awesome that their customer support apparatus is completely and utterly unable to help anyone, or even to inform their customers that there are issues. Great show, awesome job, @cogeco!

  • RebeccaBredin Rebecca Bredin (@RebeccaBredin) reported

    I’m not sure what’s worse: Intermittent service or no service at all? My internet is trying to work, but I can’t accomplish much of anything. Plus, even my bell data seems laggy now. #Cogeco

  • specedman Specedman (@specedman) reported

    @GlobalNational So COGECO sends out a notice on the internet to tell me that my internet is down and that they are working on it. Is it me or does this not make sense ?

  • Kick_Nayzur Nick (@Kick_Nayzur) reported

    @cogeco Looks like cogeco's DNS is down. For a temporary fix, change your DNS address in your network settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 (Google's DNS)

  • RedbeardUnbound Redbeard (@RedbeardUnbound) reported

    @cogeco Would love some details on the issue. Please be transparent with your customers

  • Laxpro1dot10 Laxpro1.10 (@Laxpro1dot10) reported

    @Krucifix_ @travellingsou11 @cogeco My bad than. I said it could be, my main point was no need to complain and bicker. It wasn’t done on purpose

  • TheWelshWizard6 The Welsh Wizard (@TheWelshWizard6) reported

    @cogeco What’s the problem and how long will it take???
