    @Shawhelp Why is it always a struggle to connect to Tubi? Yes, I have unplugged and restarted my box multiple times and it rarely connects. I’m paying for the service I expected it to work. If not, I expect a discount on my bill this month because this is ridiculous.

    @Shawhelp I haven't been able to login to my account in 2 months. I can't stream from any of my devices because I can't login. I"ve called your support 4 times and just keep getting told to try again in a week. Are you ever going to fix this problem?

    @Shawhelp how long will the Internet be down? My busiest day of the month

    @Shawhelp What can I do to speak with an actual representative? I was emailed to call or login to update my billing info. The app doesn’t work, logging into my account doesn’t work (I get the “oops! Something went wrong!” page), and I get disconnected when I call in to speak with

    @Shawhelp is there an outage in North Burnaby/Capitol Hill area? Internet, TV down as of about 9:15am and 5G is very weak signal only on cell? Status?

    @Shawhelp any updates for when internet will be restored to West Kelowna? The planned outage was ended hours ago.

    @Shawhelp A technician was here because of the poor signal that we have. He replaced the router and indicated that all is well. We still have a poor signal causing poor television reception.

    @Shawhelp Its up, but its very slow

  • LindsayWiebeRD
    Lindsay I.R Wiebe (@LindsayWiebeRD) reported

    @Shawhelp - I pay internet just to have it cut out for close to an hour every day when I come home from work. If this continues, I’m going to ask for a discounted rate, or change providers to either @Bell or @TELUS. $110 dollars for this kind of service is uncalled for.

  • MaryPChipman

    @Shawhelp I'll try moving the extender to be closer to the box first. If that doesn't work, I'll contact you again.

    You just have to love the ****** @Shawhelp service. They give you chat service that doesn't work for Shaw. Then give you a number that doesn't have service. How are you suppose to contact these people.

    @Shawhelp is there an internet outage in Winnipeg. North Kildonan region? Myself and Shaw using neighbors are all having issues this morning. Cant access the outage map since it's stuck on British Columbia for some reason and your apps won't log in. Not that they ever work anyway

    @Shawhelp I am a very unhappy customer. Spent one hour on the chat line waiting for customer service agent. Then he said he couldn’t help me and a phone. When I called and got through to someone, the lady was lovely. Transferred me to customer service and it was closed.

    @jcnhooper @Shawhelp Hi James. Please connect with technical support at 1-888-764-3771 so we can ensure proper steps are being taken to resolve any technical issues you are experiencing. -Eric

    I love when @Shawhelp has random outages before their scheduled maintenance outages. But since I’m not technically a Roger’s customer, their customer service can’t help/notify of the outage 🙄

  • dae_j01

    @Shawhelp today is the third day I have been trying to contact your technical support and it is heartbreaking. On one of those days I waited on the call for over 5 hours and no one answered. Can someone reach out to me please? Thank you.

    @Shawhelp No. It looks like someone found the issue when they came back to work on Monday … next time, please just have someone go to a TV and check for me please. Sometimes the easy way can be easy …

    @shawhelp 50 minutes on support, getting transferred to 3 agents. And still no answers. Damn how I wish y’all didn’t merge with #Rogers

    Matthew Johnson (@McJohnson922) reported

    @Shawhelp I did already, Sunday night when it was at its worst. The tech was... less than helpful. Lecturing me about my passphrase because I thought I forgot it, only offering the bare minimum in advice, stuff I already knew how to do...

  • Geodude96
    Alex Snow (@Geodude96) reported

    @Shawhelp My internet has been cutting out at least once a day for the past few weeks. Called in once before and was told there was a problem in my area but nothing has changed since then. I'm on Zoom at least once/week & need it reliable. Really getting sick of the bad service.

    @Shawhelp Now I just spoke to a different agent who said that there is maintenance in the area. Why isn't that on the outage webpage?

    @Shawhelp Yup. Keeps asking over and over. **** like this makes me want to switch providers

    @slackerman10 @Shawhelp Any company (telcos, banks, util, etc) whose phone line REGULARLY says “we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes” is just short-staffing. They are optimizing cost over service. What is the maximum tolerance for a customer, etc. it’s obviously worse for oligopoly
