  • mynameisasong_ Barbara-Anne Elstone (@mynameisasong_) reported

    @startca is there an outage in the Peterborough area???

  • guglio08 Chris Guglielmelli (@guglio08) reported

    @MushPortobello @startca If you pay for service and that service isn't provided, you should be refunded. Period.

  • MaikurrTo Michael To (@MaikurrTo) reported

    @startca @Cdn_SupahFly Hi I second this issue, my connection is faulty and I'm having trouble at work. I am connected via ethernet cable, so it's not a wireless issue.

  • Poirier7R Don Poirier (@Poirier7R) reported

    @startca so now that the dust has settled and rock the park is over and done what's the word on rebates for the outage?

  • ramik5511 Rami M (@ramik5511) reported

    @startca Hey. I have issues with my home phone service from you guys and it says " not registered". I called twice and you guys leave me waiting then hangup. What great service! crap. I want a refund for all these disruptions!

  • forgedcosmos Tia ✰ She/Her ✰ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@forgedcosmos) reported

    Does anyone know if there is another @startca / rogers outage? Internet keeps dropping (and reconnecting so far hopefully) but kind of annoying lol

  • MGD43507122 MGD🇨🇦 (@MGD43507122) reported

    @startca Will Start be offering a credit for the outage, as Rogers is doing?

  • StupidGiant Squiggle (@StupidGiant) reported

    @startca Are there network issues in burlington?

  • DolLang1975 Dol Lan (@DolLang1975) reported

    @CP24 What does that literally equate to in #dollars and #cents. How are smaller companies like the Southwestern service provider @Startca that piggyback on @Rogers how will they reimburse customers & how timely will this all happen.

  • thatstheone01 what’s in a name (@thatstheone01) reported

    @startca Why have we STILL not received any email communication about the outage from you guys?! I get that it was a rogers issue but some acknowledgement would have been kind. Are your customers going to receive any compensation?

  • crazyintrovert_ Meghan Smart (@crazyintrovert_) reported

    @startca is wifi down jn London area again? Have not been able to connect all day

  • _alenperic Alen Peric (@_alenperic) reported

    Between getting my DSL cost jacked up one month into service and signing up for a new house with @startca and getting a call 30 minutes later that they don't actually service the house that their website said they do, this company has been absolute garbage to deal with.

  • iwouldfthatsu Crocs & Castles (@iwouldfthatsu) reported

    @startca I mean considering my wifi never works during the day and it cools down at night...

  • PennyCrosley12 Penny Crosley (@PennyCrosley12) reported

    @startca None right now i still have no internet from the outage...

  • governorjs J Scherba aka Gov (@governorjs) reported

    @startca Should there be any problems now? Still tv seems very unstable?

  • MoodyLobster23 Stephanie (@MoodyLobster23) reported

    @startca fibre internet not working for me in London. Any known issues here?

  • slicemage Slicemage (@slicemage) reported

    @startca None of the above interestingly - I mainly use a desktop computer with a wireless adapter because there's no good way of running ethernet in my ancient townhouse, and powerline is slow.

  • johnnyaverage04 JohnnyAverageGamer (@johnnyaverage04) reported

    @startca Game consoles still saying there is a weak signal, after doing everything possible to fix. Hope the connection is not unstable for too much longer

  • EdenJanna Janna Eden (@EdenJanna) reported

    @BrandonEedy519 @Rogers @startca Yep, we're next up to cancel

  • steve_ca2002 Keep Left (@steve_ca2002) reported

    @startca Hey Start! Did you forget to pay the bill @ CNN? More rate increases and less service AGAIN!

  • MWMacKenzie Mike MacKenzie (@MWMacKenzie) reported

    @jmccall54 @blaineschalk @startca I'm a Start customer in an apartment. I pay $62 per month for unlimited. They haven't installed their own fibre yet due to some technical issue with my building so it uses Bell.

  • MatthewSutton40 MatthewSutton40 (@MatthewSutton40) reported

    @startca i have been having issues accessing amazon prime video. I have rebooted my home router and modem and the issue is still happening.

  • ronthetvtech Ron (@ronthetvtech) reported from Central Elgin, Ontario

    @startca Ok CNN has now been down for over a week . It was down before the big Rogers fiasco. How about either some of that transparency we have herd so much about or some actual news or effort regarding this outage. This has happened before please tell us what’s really happening!

  • ttninan Tripti Ninan (@ttninan) reported

    @startca Glad we are reconnected! Will we be receiving a credit for the time the internet was down? Rogers is providing 5 days of credit to its customers.

  • ramik5511 Rami M (@ramik5511) reported

    @startca My internet is working fine. It's just the home phone. I reset the VoIP device but still. Also my other address has intermittent internet. We should be compensated for this outage!

  • DarianRoy1 Darian Roy (@DarianRoy1) reported

    @startca any updates on the upcoming bills to those who were effected by the Rogers outage?

  • RAlexanderD Alexander.D (@RAlexanderD) reported

    @BryanPassifiume @RogersHelps I've been a huge fan of the level of customer service I have received over the years from @startca (sub off Rogers I know) however call centre LOCAL, never a long cue, and nothing but friendly helpful assistance. Also have referral program. Please PM for email.

  • robtmayo Robert Mayo (@robtmayo) reported

    @startca I still mis CNN. How much longer before your issue is resolved?

  • mikesmoniz MisanthropicHumanist (@mikesmoniz) reported

    @hainsworthtv I’ve been with @startca out of London here in the Hamilton area using Cogeco cable infrastructure(who I left because of the stupid pricing). Speed always been consistent as advertised around 120 Mb down per my plan & have had no issues.

  • HelloGlamorous JoJo. (@HelloGlamorous) reported

    @startca love that despite the 3 day outage my bill was $15 higher than normal lmao
