    @startca @Danielml48 Can you not just tell me the outage has been resolved and reboot my modem? Not interested in waiting on hold

  • HelloGlamorous JoJo. (@HelloGlamorous) reported

    @startca my internet has been down for an hour and wont come back up, I paid it a couple days ago so it's not that.. what gives?

  • CheekyOtter16 CheekyOtter16 (@CheekyOtter16) reported

    @startca my internet is crap today! Can’t load videos, buffering on 20 minute shows…what’s going on?!

  • TimWilkinson15 Timmeh 🇨🇦 (@TimWilkinson15) reported

    @startca Yes, I've never had an issue contacting your team if I need support. I can't say the same regarding the "big three" where you're stuck on hold for 2+ hours.

  • toadleystone Abbie the cat (@toadleystone) reported

    @startca internet is down in the downtown London area

  • JKamenar Jaclyn Kamenar (@JKamenar) reported

    @CheekyOtter16 @startca My internet has been absolute garbage the last 2 weeks. Lagging, slow, cuts in and out. And my speed test is fine. Which means it’s a server problem. That’s you start. Get this crap together. Thinking about switching companies. The rates keep going up and the quality goes down

  • KatesChaos KatesChaos🤪 (@KatesChaos) reported

    @startca @HelloGlamorous Don’t think it’s just them. Mine is off and on for working. Maybe you have an issue?

  • the_vdo Vicki (@the_vdo) reported

    Still waiting to hear from @startca to see if there are any outages. Have re-started modem and router more than once. Still no internet at home (good thing I’m not working right now). All lights on modem, but are completely solid. What a pita.

  • AlertNarc The Narc Alert (@AlertNarc) reported

    @startca My internet is down AND I can even get your website to load when everything else can..Clearly there is an issue in Toronto?london?

  • Daniel89825641 Daniel (@Daniel89825641) reported

    @startca it has been over 48 hrs since my new modem has been registered but my internet speed is still the same. My wife wants to switch to Bell as Fibe was just installed in my neighborhood. I decided to stay with Start for their customer service but this is embarrassing.

  • Path_Luminous Luminous Path (@Path_Luminous) reported

    I would like to thank @startca and @Bell_Support for my internet being down for 5 out of the last 11 days, and every ******* time I talk to one of 'em, they give me a different excuse. I'm not calling anymore. Fix this ****. Now. Or I'm gone.

  • libra2910ca Glenn Stuparyk (@libra2910ca) reported

    @startca hey start, wondering if you will be offering any discounts for the internet service. I'm seeing a lot of deals right now from other companies which is very tempting. I feel that paying $95 a month for internet is getting to expensive for only 300mbps.

  • MGD43507122 MGD🇨🇦 (@MGD43507122) reported

    @startca Ironic that this ad is running when service is down in SW London N6K. Over 2 hours, coming up on 3

  • the_vdo Vicki (@the_vdo) reported

    And it looks like the router is probably the issue. Ugh. (Thanks to Maria at @startca for the troubleshooting)

  • RenaKunisaki Rena 🦊 No ******* Thanks (@RenaKunisaki) reported

    @startca mine just lost signal for a few minutes (blinking DS light) but it's back up now

  • ianjeffrey Ian 🤿 (@ianjeffrey) reported

    @startca issues with internet in Burlington. Any ideas?

  • Raven5666 Jasmine Robar (@Raven5666) reported

    @startca is there an outage or something? My internet just randomly quit

  • stevequinton Steve Quinton 🇨🇦 (@stevequinton) reported

    Looks like @startca is down. Another @rogers issue?

  • TerkyBacon14 Terk the Drunk (@TerkyBacon14) reported

    @startca so I can't log into my account, with the saved information on my phone. Lost internet. Contact you via DM and am told to use live chat. Live chat unavailable for tech support.🙃 Let's hope it's back before I start work, since I work from home. 😵‍💫

  • smashwalters three raccoons apart (@smashwalters) reported

    @startca is the internet down for L1S?

  • aaron_robb Aaron Robb (@aaron_robb) reported

    @startca Our internet is down, and your site is down. Where can we see any status updates?

  • Supermathie Michael Brown (@Supermathie) reported

    @startca My normal Internet connection is not working fine, since normal traffic sent to me does not get delivered.

  • ParticleMel Melanie T. (@ParticleMel) reported

    @Mikeggibbs Check out @startca. I dumped Rogers for Start in 2013 due to frequent outages. Start uses Rogers infrastructure, but I had virtually no down time for the 5 or 6 years they supplied my internet.

  • gwcgary 🌎gwc of this ******* planet🌏 (@gwcgary) reported

    @startca well I have support Start since 2014 and I phoned in once about having different rates for low income people. The person said that it was a good idea But Start doesn’t discriminate they charge everyone the same. That policy discriminates against low income Canadians !!!

  • Daniel89825641 Daniel (@Daniel89825641) reported

    @startca and I did reach out to the customer service and was told to "wait." What are my options?

  • AlertNarc The Narc Alert (@AlertNarc) reported

    @startca Your website is down and theres 30 callers ahead of me on the phone...Please tweet out some info to let us know what is happening

  • DarianRoy1 Darian Roy (@DarianRoy1) reported

    @startca Yeah while I’ve been waiting for fibre for that was promised would be installed in my area for on 3+ years now…cmon do better Start. I’m tired of paying $80 for a 75mb download. While my friend pays $105 for 1000 down.

  • _log1n_ Paradigm Shift (@_log1n_) reported

    @startca Any known issues for the Kingston area?

  • KatesChaos KatesChaos🤪 (@KatesChaos) reported

    @HelloGlamorous @startca Yeah, so do I. Re read…Iwas saying that to @startca That maybe they have an issue because I came to Twitter to check their feed for issues. Saw this thread and added. I’m not retarded. I got you have issues. I DO TOO!!!! And it’s pissing me off. #cheer #fixitstart #intermittant

  • Zantheus1 Zantheus (@Zantheus1) reported
