  • jimmycanuck Jim Squires is probably on fire 🔥 (@jimmycanuck) reported

    @cogecohelps @cogeco @startca So when my mother-in-law is using an older non-wifi modem, she would have to change her whole service to get a wifi one? She couldn’t just upgrade the modem?

    @startca @Olee22090047 This is the BS I'm talking about ppl. If you need help all they can do is suggest you power cycle your equipment. Otherwise they blame the customer or rogers, they'd blame the easter bunny if they through you'd accept it. 3 times I was no showed by a tech WORTHLESS WELFAR SERVICE

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @startca @Olee22090047 You were told over and over and over, I replaced literally every bit of equipement and wires in my home, including the modem and routers. I told you it was at the pole, I told you in less than fav weather the internet went in and out...YOU ALWAYS BLAME ROGERS OR THE CUSTOMER.

  • F8TheUncreator Ty (@F8TheUncreator) reported

    @startca you guys need to figure out a way too let us know the service is down and an estimated time it's coming back on, paying for services that don't work on a regular basis is not what anyone wants. If it's an issue with the lines you rent, time too look at new lines to run.

  • Serbtastic Mike Stankovic (@Serbtastic) reported

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

  • Olee22090047 Olee (@Olee22090047) reported

    @startca is the absolute worst ISP out there. Their service is constantly failing, they double charge you and offer a refund then don't give it when you agree. They are ignoring me and holding my money ransom. Have proof

  • 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.

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

  • Olee22090047 Olee (@Olee22090047) reported

    @startca why does my internet disconnect every 5 mins and when it does work, its slow as molasses

  • 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. :)

  • 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.

  • SaltedCashews Christopher Lewis (@SaltedCashews) reported

    @geebs1983 @beisan @startca Ran into same, but lines were Rogers. On the Start side, I get Tier 3 help. She spent days narrowing down very odd and specific issues, and even tried to 'fudged reports to get Rogers out twice to tweak things - which worked. Love Start overall, but can't wait for their fibre.

  • ally_young81 Alison Young (@ally_young81) reported

    @startca just wondering if there’s an issue with Sportsnet Ontario? We’d like to watch the Leaf game, but the channel will no load. Every other channel is fine.

  • 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.
