    @startca is there an outage in East York? Haven't been able to get internet for nearly an hour, router has been restarted and appears to be fine.

  • ItsShaZam Shane Zeagman (@ItsShaZam) reported

    @startca Any word on the downed network on Cogeco's line in Hamilton?

  • stillkvl kvl (he/they) (@stillkvl) reported

    @vasta @startca I get it. And we all have bad days. I would just hate for the overall customer service to go a specific direction.

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

    @startca All you need is a bigger dish or possibly a feed horn rotation to fix the problem. But if your looking int alternative sources perhaps you could look into sourcing Newsnation and BBC news. You can never have enough news sources and you defenetly don’t have enough !

  • caraquilts Cara Donnelly🌻 (@caraquilts) reported

    Anyone else having @startca issues this weekend?

  • mikesmoniz MisanthropicHumanist (@mikesmoniz) reported

    @GabrielCPinto @startca I don’t game so I can’t speak to speeds regarding that, but have no issues using streaming services with them ie Netflix Disney+, Amazon prime. I actually have their IPTV service as well and I’m quite happy with it

  • Gooni3Gamess GooNi3Games (@Gooni3Gamess) reported

    @sherratt3298 @startca There was no issue, this is what fake reviews are lol

  • steve_ca2002 Keep Left (@steve_ca2002) reported

    @startca Hey! How's it going with that fix you promised for CNN? Your charging top dollar for a sub-standard product.

  • websnappers David (@websnappers) reported

    @startca Is there an outage in the Cornwall area? We haven't had internet access for at least an hour.

  • candu_scuba Dave (@candu_scuba) reported

    @startca Did all the updates, restarted, rebooted and reset. Still having major buffering problems. Never been this bad.

  • large116 Tony Rajotte (@large116) reported

    @startca Hey Support. Get a message that START TV service is not responding. Tried a reset of all the equipment but still getting the message. Any reports of issues in London?

  • vasta Sameer Vasta (@vasta) reported

    Just has the worst customer service from @startca (Sherri?) that it almost makes me want to switch to Rogers. Abysmal and rude. (Also, doesn’t help that there’s an outage that they won’t even attempt to help resolve.)

  • SRollo91 Shaun Rollo (@SRollo91) reported

    @startca once again, there are issues with the internet being down. This is a very common occurrence with you. Why is there an issue again?

  • shiphead666 United1889 (@shiphead666) reported

    @startca Absolutely true, no issues in 8 years of service.

  • lisastylegirl lisastylegirl (@lisastylegirl) reported

    Disappointing @startca. Very disappointing. Bad @cnn on #USMidtermElections night. #poor

  • lisastylgrlecho LisaStyleGirl's Echo (@lisastylgrlecho) reported

    RT lisastylegirl "Disappointing @startca. Very disappointing. Bad @cnn on #USMidtermElections night. #poor"

  • vasta Sameer Vasta (@vasta) reported

    @stillkvl @startca For what it’s worth, the precious service I’ve received from Start has been great. Maybe I just got the wrong person on the wrong day. Was just so dismayed by her lack of empathy and caring.

  • guinnessguy trevor kerr (@guinnessguy) reported

    @startca is there an outage in Belleville, Ontario currently? Have lost signal off and on from Tuesday September 18 to the 19th (today)

  • MarthKoopa Marth Koopa (@MarthKoopa) reported

    @startca If I set up a new debit card payment, will my current bank withdrawal payments be cancelled or do I have to cancel that manually?

  • undauntedscion A'teya @ 6.2 (@undauntedscion) reported

    @startca so it says connected but nothing is loading, the constant issues with my internet connection is getting beyond frustrating

  • iamajavajunkie Java Junkie ☕️ (@iamajavajunkie) reported

    @startca It isn’t just me. Several people in South London have spotty service.

  • Technoweenie1 Bryan Biller (@Technoweenie1) reported

    @startca Using a service such as CloudflareDNS or OpenDNS can even make it better and take it to the next level.

  • steve_ca2002 Keep Left (@steve_ca2002) reported

    @startca Fix CNN.

  • sherratt3298 p (@sherratt3298) reported

    @startca What was the issue?

  • Gooni3Gamess GooNi3Games (@Gooni3Gamess) reported

    @startca You guys going to inform your customers what's going on or what? 2 days now sporadic internet. No answers in DMS or support chat. Pathetic support services. Also if anyone else sees this I'm currently looking for a new provider that will support its customers!

  • Gooni3Gamess GooNi3Games (@Gooni3Gamess) reported

    @iamajavajunkie @startca St Thomas aswell. The service has been so bad this last year, I don't believe there is any other choice but to switch... Honestly why are we dealing with start when they use Rogers lines and we have to wait on Rogers to answer before start answers lmao.

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @AydaPublic @startca This is garbage service, I've been told a tech was coming twice and both times they stood me up without even a phone call.

  • SRollo91 Shaun Rollo (@SRollo91) reported

    @startca Can you explain why the service is so inconsistent? Because every time I've reached out, I'm always told that there is no record of an issue on your end

  • ronthetvtech Ron (@ronthetvtech) reported

    @startca How are you guys going to keep your fibre going when you still haven’t fixed the CNN interference problem? You have been supposedly switching to an alternative source since July!
