    DO NOT USE @startca. Their product is awful and their customer service is even worse. Looking at you A. Kelleher-Lizotte and Emilie C

    @startca do you have issues in Niagara region? My upload speed of 20mbs is far off that mark at 670kbps.

    @startca don’t often watch MTV but something wrong with that channel. Resolution is wrong, screen is letterboxed and background audio is higher than main audio. Can’t hear what people are saying over the background music. Can this be fixed?

    @startca I have multiple friends with this service that have complained about the same problems as I have. I don't know the severity of there intermittent issues but it does seem to indicate that this isn't isolated to me.

    @startca TSN 4 looks horrible, are you still sending this in 30fps? That’s what it looks like, not so good for live sports.

    Hey @startca, we've been trying to get our Internet service back up and running. However, we've been unable to contact anyone to come out and assist for the past few days. Been in hold multiple times with no help for 2 hours each time

    When are @Bell_Support or @startca going to offer residential fibre in downtown #ldnont? You’d think with their physical stations near/in the core this would be yesterday’s news. Appears they are OK with letting @Rogers have all the gigabit service money.

    @fanCRTCProfling No. All I ever got was a blanket statement that they do not compensate for any reason. As it just so happens, my internet has gone down now while I'm trying to work from home. Almost 16 months now and nothing has been resolved. Pathetic! #CRTC #CCTS @startca @Rogers
