    @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.

  • 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.

  • tamara_b84 Tamara (@tamara_b84) reported

    Neither @rogers and @startca will get a technician here to fix my internet after a @Rogers technician disconnected my NON-direct Rogers line while hooking up another unit's internet until tomorrow morning. Both seem to think its acceptable to make us go without internet....

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @startca @NeilDowsonPEC How many times do I have to call? 3 tech's no show, 3 days of missed work & I still have a cable lying on my lawn. How many times should I miss work? How much time should I spend on the phone with your tech "support"? No offer to compensate me but my full bill keeps rolling in.

  • ChrisEdgeMusic Christopher Edge (@ChrisEdgeMusic) reported

    @startca do you have issues in Niagara region? My upload speed of 20mbs is far off that mark at 670kbps.

  • tamara_b84 Tamara (@tamara_b84) reported

    @startca @Rogers @RogersHelps I can but I don't see the point...I spent the morning on the phone with technical support who told me there is nothing Start can do until tomorrow morning. It was a Rogers technician that disconnected my internet.

  • 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.

  • Olee22090047 Olee (@Olee22090047) reported

    DO NOT USE @startca. Their product is awful and their customer service is even worse. Looking at you A. Kelleher-Lizotte and Emilie C. WORST ISP out there

  • Serbtastic Mike Stankovic (@Serbtastic) reported

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

  • 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.

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @startca @NeilDowsonPEC IF YOU SIGN UP FOR WELFARE SERVICE YOU GET WELFARE SERVCE. DODGE THIS GARBAGE, WELFARE SERVICE. When it works it's fine, when it doesn't they just blame the customer, or Rogers, or the Tooth Fairy, anything to get you off the phone.

  • geebs1983 Jordan (@geebs1983) reported

    @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

  • George_Jungle67 George Jungle (@George_Jungle67) reported

    @startca TSN 4 looks horrible, are you still sending this in 30fps? That’s what it looks like, not so good for live sports.

  • gadgetwizguy Chris Goulard (@gadgetwizguy) reported from Orangeville, Ontario

    @startca when I call because the neighbourhood Internet keeps going up and down all afternoon, so a @Rogers issue AGAIN, do NOT tell me to reset my modem just put the damn ticket in. Whole area keeps going down. Just DO IT!!!

  • tanneramma Tanya Park (@tanneramma) reported

    @startca is there a known outage in St.Thomas?
