    @startca Hey, got busy at work. Power cycle on modem did fix. Ty

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @beisan The worst internet I have ever had is @startca .... Technical support are nice but useless, they can't fix anything you couldn't fix yourself and when a problem happens they blame Rogers. They stood me up twice for service apt's without letting me know and still no fix.

  • Serbtastic Mike Stankovic (@Serbtastic) reported

    @startca it looks like internet just went down in Stoney Creek, possibly weather related?

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @startca If you want to game you can't If you want to work from home you can't If you want to use gambling sites, you can't There is 1 upside, weight loss. I've lost 10 pounds the past few months going up and down the stairs 5+ times a day to reset my internet.

  • DerekStrelioff Derek Strelioff (@DerekStrelioff) reported

    @MGirash @beisan @startca I'd second them. No issues with speed, throttling, caps, etc. Only downtimes were network-wide from the big ISP's they use, but their customer service was always clear about communicating it.

    @startca @ally_young81 TSN4 looks awful tonight

  • steve_ca2002 Keep Left (@steve_ca2002) reported

    @ally_young81 @startca For that Leaf game , I had to go over to the neighbours who use Bell/Fibe, they laugh at my Start issues. The game was clear as a "Bell". I didn't tell them about the quality of CNN on Start TV, it's too embarrassing.

  • mareinator live rn (@mareinator) reported

    me: the connectivity disruption is directly effecting my income @RogersHelps: are you watching twitch on the app or in a browser @TekSavvyNetwork or @startca would never treat me like this 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 plz tell me ur coming to rural Ontario soon 😣😭

  • stvndxn Steven Dixon (@stvndxn) reported

    @startca any known issues in the midhurst (L4N) area? Internet has been down for an hour, modem can’t acquire downstream channels, wondering if it’s weather related or if I’m just lucky. :)

  • rblourenco Ricardo Barros Lourenço (@rblourenco) reported from Hamilton, Ontario

    Do you know what's the worse in watching #FIFAWorldCup with @startca? Is that the signal is so delayed (about a minute and a half) that my in-laws are able to voice message us from whatsapp the telling about the goal/offside #bra #sui
