    @HostGator This outgoing email problem continues without a resolution. Calls to support are met with a 99 minute potential whole time. Chat responses are not happening at all. I want to change hosts, but can’t reach anyone. I feel my data is being held hostage. WHAT IS GOING ON?

    @Rogers Although my internet service is up, there are still routing issues. I can't reach services on the Cogeco network, on the Hostgator network and parts of the Microsoft network, just to name a few. A complete blunder on Rogers' part.
