    @startca Or maybe if one of the dozens of times I called your "support", they were actually helpful than maybe I wouldn't have to reset the equipment so much.

  • fromtheheartont Rachel Concannon (@fromtheheartont) reported

    @startca Having connection issues off and on today in Carling. Mostly with Xbox gaming which means our house was finally cleaned by the teens in the house out of boredom so I’m not totally complaining. Just hoping it’s not like that for work tomorrow 😬

  • livetoariel a (@livetoariel) reported

    @startca is St Catharines Internet down or is it just my router 😔

  • DaveGaudet Dave Gaudet (@DaveGaudet) reported

    @startca any ETA on my cable internet outage? Went out for myself and at least one other house in my neighborhood during the storm last night. 24h without connection and counting...

  • BaInstinct Ba$iC-InStInCt (@BaInstinct) reported

    @Gooni3Gamess @startca @startca is a joke, you could go with pretty much anybody else and get better service, I'm switching ASAP!

  • Gooni3Gamess GooNi3Games (@Gooni3Gamess) reported

    @startca We're sorry to hear that you're having ongoing issues with your connection. We're not seeing any phone calls or troubleshooting done recently, and there isn't anything currently listed in your area as a known issue. Please give our Support team a call so we can work with you

  • DucktheRoofer Duck (@DucktheRoofer) reported

    @startca Not sure how you can't know as I'm sure everyone in the building has called their internet providers to complain. Rogers guy was here at 815am, said there's no signal to the entire building. So is Rogers not talking to you or the other way around? Day 4 without internet.

  • jerkiejerx Jerome Dinampo (@jerkiejerx) reported

    Internet connection is DOWN again! @startca @RogersHelps

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @_MadDuck @startca This is an absoulte garbage service, my internet is up and down and @startca hasn't done a damn thing about it, do as I am and find a service worth the money. POS service demands advanced payment and then provides sh!t service.

  • vasilka03 v.a.s.i.l.k.a. (@vasilka03) reported

    @startca any updates on internet outages in North York? Internet has been down for over 15min

  • Gooni3Gamess GooNi3Games (@Gooni3Gamess) reported

    @startca This the type of service we get everytime we talk to them lately..

  • spoontazz ѕpꙬᶯᶵᶛᶼᶼ (@spoontazz) reported

    Spouse ended up just canceling the service. That took the last half of the 3 hours to complete. Appalling customer service. In contrast, I have been having issues with home internet and every time I call @startca I get just one agent, who is knowledgeable, genial...

  • DucktheRoofer Duck (@DucktheRoofer) reported

    @startca internet has been out most of the day in OEV in London Ontario. I've reset, I've restarted my modem. Yet still nothing from @startca on twitter or Facebook + the support line just keeps ringing & ringing. I'm super pissed

  • MiddleAgedJoker Molybdenum Arm Jones (@MiddleAgedJoker) reported

    @startca Internet down in Burlington.

  • steve_ca2002 Keep Left (@steve_ca2002) reported

    @startca Here we go again, school is back and Start can't handle the volume. Start TV down. (CNN has been up and down all summer.) Funny just yesterday one of the big providers (starts with an R) offered a better price door to door.

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @startca @_MadDuck You could have helped me any one of the numerous times I called support, you could have helped by having the technician actually show up to the appt. Why do I have to complain on social media to get any attention?

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @startca Not worth the $25 credit to sully your reputation with your neighbours, I have to reset my internet multiple times daily. 0% chance I would ever recommend this substandard service.

  • Tiffany07118882 Tiffany Wilson-Walker (@Tiffany07118882) reported

    Its like waking up from a really bad dream. @startca Fiber half the price for double the speed and the best customer service EVER! I tried bell for the landline, awful experience, services I don’t use and crummy customer care. #switching #StartFiber

  • MWMacKenzie Mike MacKenzie (@MWMacKenzie) reported

    @tompkinstyle @Rogers @startca Rogers cable tv service has been down for at least 3 hours on Talbot St. #ldnont

  • BrandonEedy519 Brandon Eedy (@BrandonEedy519) reported

    @Tiffany07118882 @startca Had the exact same response/reaction when I switched. Customer service is through the roof

  • j0_mAmA Jo is ... therefore she thinks. (@j0_mAmA) reported

    @startca Is there an outage in Old East? We've rebooted everything and have no internet.

  • ynagmo ynagmo (@ynagmo) reported

    @startca Me router keeps dropping connection leaving me with internet for like 1hr at a time before needing to reset again. Help

  • douglawlor doug lawlor (@douglawlor) reported

    @startca Looks like Internet is down in Kingston, ON: Any other complaints received? Just noticed it here:

  • NonsensibleShoe Nonsensible Shoes (@NonsensibleShoe) reported

    @startca Any update on the Rogers outage in Whitby?

  • CosmoKrameI2 james m (@CosmoKrameI2) reported

    @startca are there any outages in the Hamilton region? My internet is not working for the last 1 hour.

  • saaamwilsooo Samantha Wilson (@saaamwilsooo) reported

    @startca are there some outage issues going on? I’ve been without wifi for a while

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @startca @_MadDuck I don't want your help anymore, my focus has changed to finding a new ISP and making sure that everyone I encounter I let them know what a sh!t service I received and recommend any other service.

  • BaInstinct Ba$iC-InStInCt (@BaInstinct) reported

    @startca Good to know it's not just your internet service that's ****.

  • tompkinstyle Melissa A. Chown (@tompkinstyle) reported

    @Rogers I don't understand how you aren't grasping this. There is a widespread @Rogers outage that includes #ldnont right now. Please explain how reporting the widespread Rogers outage can be addressed by @startca? Explain like I am in Kindergarten, because it doesn't make sense.

  • cold_arctic_air Adam Kurtz (@cold_arctic_air) reported

    @startca @Ketobombchocol1 Neighbor with Rogers. Same issue. Service vehicles in the area, seems to be resolved for now.
