@startca our internet has been down 8 hours. (Oshawa L1J ) I WFH so need it. Phone is VOIP so that is gone too. Don’t have data to spare on cell so can’t fill in with that esp with the docs I need. Any idea as to when it will be fixed?

@startca just wanted to again say that your customer service reps are awesome. Called about a change in service inquiry on THANKSGIVING and the woman was so pleasant. A apologized but this has been the only day that I've had time to call about an upgrade.

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.)

@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.

@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

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

@startca I tried the website chat via my phone’s LTE but it said the chat wasn’t available. Wifi is going up and down starting the last couple minutes. If it doesn’t stay stable will phone via cell cuz your voip won’t be stable

@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.

I've been with @startca for YEARS and it's always been this way. I have no idea how you hire people that all seem to have the same legit customer service attitudes and are ALWAYS pleasant. Kudos to your hiring team.

@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!

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

@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.
