  • MorphPlays professormorphplays (@MorphPlays) reported from Oakville, Ontario

    @cogeco what the hell are you guys doing, our internet’s down and when I call customer service it says “welcome to URL Adam’s 31 “ and then dead air for 20 minutes? Why is your internet constantly going out when we have the fastest modem you have

  • simplythekenny Fullmetal AllKenneth 🇨🇦 (@simplythekenny) reported

    @JohnDou38694475 @startca Typically, with issues like these, Cogeco would be responsible for it. Without an absolute diagnosis, we can't tell who exactly is to blame but if Cogeco is responsible that might explain the miscommunication, the lengthening of the issue, and why Cogeco is actively brushing off.

  • Circuitjc Jeff Codling (@Circuitjc) reported

    @startca It is getting worse not better. My connection into Cogeco (Sarnia) is strong... the routing after that is f'd. I'm tethered to my phone now it is so bad. Can't work. Please don't force me to go to FTTH with B(h)ell. I love you Start but if you keep doing me bad... :(

  • Nannyof3munkins nannyof3 (@Nannyof3munkins) reported

    @markhmasters @TSNTennis Hi, this is OT but I use to be able to record several TSN Tennis matches at once. Now when I setup my recording I can only record say tsn865, not 863 simultaneously for Wimbledon. Same was for Roland Garos. Is this my provider Cogeco issue?

  • jamesheffron James Heffron (@jamesheffron) reported from Milton, Ontario

    @cogeco it amazes me that you can get through to sales within seconds but end up on hold to cancel one of three services. Your website for self serve Epico premium internet has been down for days. It seems easier to switch to @Bell?

  • Sprial_out Matt Lepp (@Sprial_out) reported

    @RAWaholic1 @startca If its a cogeco problem, theyre at their mercy..

  • MorphPlays professormorphplays (@MorphPlays) reported from Oakville, Ontario

    @cogecohelps @cogeco Don’t thank me fix our internet! You tell me to do but you have no dm icon!

  • kayleeb1991 Kay B (@kayleeb1991) reported

    @JohnDou38694475 @startca I chatted at Cogeco earlier today and they said it was a ‘signal issue in the area’ so at least at that time even Cogeco thought it was their problem haha

  • theMediaman Stephen Wear Your Mask Clark (@theMediaman) reported

    @Bryson_M They're going to have to sell off some assets, like Bell did for MTS. I could see them selling off the division to Cogeco or @Videotron *me dreaming* If Videotron bought Freedom's mobile network, they'd have coverage in the four most populous provinces.

  • Ryytikki 🏳️‍🌈 No longer birthday but still Bi 🏳️‍🌈 (@Ryytikki) reported

    @petesmaluck @startca @cogeco isnt this an issue with cogeco's lines that start uses? idk why you'd want to move there instead

  • startca Start.ca (@startca) reported

    @PoodlesLLC Hi, The issue is not specifically with Cogeco. We have technicians working to resolve the issue from our side ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • startca Start.ca (@startca) reported

    @pasquino1975 Hi Bruno, We are sorry to tell you we have no current ETA. We are working to rectify issue as it is from our end not Cogeco.

  • WaistedW WaistedLoveWaistbeads (@WaistedW) reported

    @cogeco where is your customer service reps to answer your phones! I've been on hold 30:31 and counting 😒

  • lndmommy stephanie (@lndmommy) reported

    @cogeco internet is so crap that I lose connection to the internet while plugged in directly to the modem. Makes sense.

  • Sprial_out Matt Lepp (@Sprial_out) reported

    @breachpunkrock @startca I mean you do you, but cogeco customers are also experiencing outages which suggests its an infrastructure issue, which cogeco is responsible for. Start just piggy backs on cogecos infrastructure, meaning theyre at cogeco's mercy right now ..

  • lalicich caleb (@lalicich) reported

    @elonmusk Can you guys adjust price based on speed offered? Like j would love to support starlink over bell or cogeco but paying 120 for 50download doesn’t work for me I wouldn’t mind paying it for like minimum 200-300. Or change price for 50 download speed? Idk

  • DougFuoco Doug Fuoco (@DougFuoco) reported

    @SammyJo58 @startca sometimes things happen that are out of peoples control. they worked all day to fix it and it seems to be working for me now. 6 hours out of 72 is a large percentage but couldn't he extend it by 6 hours? bell has down time as well i remember from being a customer. so does cogeco

  • alchemymondays Alchemy Mondays 🎴 (@alchemymondays) reported

    @cogeco can you get your **** together? Internets been running like **** for the entire freaking day.

  • Djamwindsor Geppetto (@Djamwindsor) reported

    @cogecohelps @cogeco No thanks Karen. We will just switch to a provider that doesn’t continually have issues.

  • petesmaluck petesmaluck (@petesmaluck) reported

    @startca @cogeco you offering any deals incase they can't fix this in a timely manner?

  • clemon_11 Cody Lemon, CCA-ON (@clemon_11) reported

    2/3 There was 2 lines effected, Bell and Cogeco. We called both companies to come fix the lines. Bell showed up within the hour and had our internet up and running within 2 hours. Cogeco said they wouldn’t come for another 5 days.

  • mylesdennis myles dennis (@mylesdennis) reported

    @cogecohelps @cogeco A supervisor was supposed to call me this morning regarding my issues last night and so far no one has called??

  • petesmaluck petesmaluck (@petesmaluck) reported

    @startca Is Cogeco down too, or just Start?

  • Djamwindsor Geppetto (@Djamwindsor) reported

    @cogeco Is it better than your **** cable service that is pixelating at a nearly unwatchable rate?

  • LauzonBradley Bradlifer (@LauzonBradley) reported

    @cogeco how is it third party websites have a better idea of outages and problems than cogecos website?

  • pawprints1986 Laney 👩‍💻🥄🍊🇨🇦 (@pawprints1986) reported

    @JoBlakely42 Now all they need to do is work with existing area providers in areas where in my case @cogeco and third party companies that piggyback cogeco are really the only cable options to make it truly province wide support I'm eligible, but it's not offered here

  • KKsenija Ksenija (@KKsenija) reported

    @cogecohelps No help available, my Cogeco service has been awful this past year, very disappointed

  • pasquino1975 Bruno (@pasquino1975) reported

    @startca The support person I spoke to at start said cogeco issue? Have you contacted cogeco?

  • PoodlesLLC AstraPfizered HannaH Dog🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈😷 (@PoodlesLLC) reported
