  • SRollo91 Shaun Rollo (@SRollo91) reported

    @startca Can you explain why the service is so inconsistent? Because every time I've reached out, I'm always told that there is no record of an issue on your end

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @AydaPublic @startca This is garbage service, I've been told a tech was coming twice and both times they stood me up without even a phone call.

  • vasta Sameer Vasta (@vasta) reported

    @stillkvl @startca For what it’s worth, the precious service I’ve received from Start has been great. Maybe I just got the wrong person on the wrong day. Was just so dismayed by her lack of empathy and caring.

  • stillkvl kvl (he/they) (@stillkvl) reported

    @vasta @startca I get it. And we all have bad days. I would just hate for the overall customer service to go a specific direction.

  • vasta Sameer Vasta (@vasta) reported

    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.)

  • ronthetvtech Ron (@ronthetvtech) reported

    @startca How are you guys going to keep your fibre going when you still haven’t fixed the CNN interference problem? You have been supposedly switching to an alternative source since July!

  • Gooni3Gamess GooNi3Games (@Gooni3Gamess) reported

    @sherratt3298 @startca There was no issue, this is what fake reviews are lol

  • Technoweenie1 Bryan Biller (@Technoweenie1) reported

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

  • websnappers David (@websnappers) reported

    @startca Is there an outage in the Cornwall area? We haven't had internet access for at least an hour.

  • Gooni3Gamess GooNi3Games (@Gooni3Gamess) reported

    @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!

  • ItsShaZam Shane Zeagman (@ItsShaZam) reported

    @startca Any word on the downed network on Cogeco's line in Hamilton?

  • iamajavajunkie Java Junkie ☕️ (@iamajavajunkie) reported

    @startca It isn’t just me. Several people in South London have spotty service.

  • shiphead666 United1889 (@shiphead666) reported

    @startca Absolutely true, no issues in 8 years of service.

  • ronthetvtech Ron (@ronthetvtech) reported from Central Elgin, Ontario

    @startca All you need is a bigger dish or possibly a feed horn rotation to fix the problem. But if your looking int alternative sources perhaps you could look into sourcing Newsnation and BBC news. You can never have enough news sources and you defenetly don’t have enough !

  • large116 Tony Rajotte (@large116) reported

    @startca Hey Support. Get a message that START TV service is not responding. Tried a reset of all the equipment but still getting the message. Any reports of issues in London?
