Xplore Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Colin Stewart (@cstewartyqr) reported@tammyrobert @SaskTel What really kills me with SaskTel though is their employees' assertion that no private company would provide service in rural SK (which they don't, either). Access, RFNow, one of the satellite companies Xplornet provide internet in rural SK.
-
Mayor of Thunderhill (@Mullin_95) reported from Swan River, Manitoba@darrell88384848 @jayDouc3tt3 @BambinoJalapeno My only options for internet here are xplornet and Starlink , or hotspot my phone which would would require a cell booster because the cell signal is non existent.
-
yeeet (@TheSmichers) reported@xplore_ca Today Xplore decided to upgrade the tower in our area, except they didn’t contact us about upgrading our equipment. Good job xplornet, thanks for the sales pitch to upgrade now that you’ve discontinued the service we pay for… ******* garbage company through and through

Allan Wilson (@uncleal13) reported@CoryBMorgan I had Xplornet, worked great for a few years, then it would bog down in the evenings as everyone in the area was streaming video. I switched to Statlink, works much better. Currently here in Saskatchewan in my village there are crews going through running the main fiberoptic lines and should have it to all the residences sometime in the summer. I'll be switching to the fibre when I can. I like Starlink, but I don't think it is sustainable, when it is up to full capacity, to continuously launch 3,000 satellites a year to maintain a fleet of 15,000. They are low earth orbit. Meaning each satellite can only stay in orbit about 5-7 years, then it comes down and burns up.

Tristan Koschmann (@TristanKoschma2) reported@xplore_ca Hey your guys is internet is down since Thursday any help ?
-
Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reportedAlternative explanation: These people use Xplornet that never works. These people used to hitting send 9 times for everything. A product of their "world Class" Canadian Communications. This is likely the best explanation and "OpenMedia" was honest enough to show it. #CRTC
-
Moe G (@moegaultier) reported@xplore_ca Yeah right, and using rabbit ears and pots and pan to transmit from customer to customer…
-
All In (@apclaus) reported@xplore_ca Hands down, this is the worst company I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. With other options unavailable, I had to put up with paying for 25 MB/S service but only receiving 3 MB/S and almost no upload speed. I wasted hours on the phone with them…they don’t care. 💸💸
-
CJH (@CJH39493411) reported@xplore_ca I would but I’ve already talked to your people but apparently when you bought out my internet provider you trained 0 of your people on the system so support is basically non existent. Slow speeds, high cost, no customer support. What exactly am I paying these criminal rates for?
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca @Victoriab1107 Its a trap no one can help you they just look at your device and say its congestion or there is nothing they can do. Every thing is fine here. Worst service in Canada It should be ILLEGAL you claim you can watch high quality streaming.
-
Keith Murray (@keithwawanesa) reported@Mullin_95 I always had great service from Netset, until they sold out to Xplorenet. Xplornet is the best advertising for Rfnow! @RFNOW_Inc RFnow has the same good service as the old Netset.
-
Beverly | 📌Commissions open in pin!!📌 (@ShazelFable) reportedMy internet has been on and off since yesterday. Xplornet internet freakin sucks DX
-
Sagittarius (@Regretful_Livin) reported@xplore_ca Is this the reason why its been 10+ hours of no service and 2.5 hours of waiting on hold to figure out why its not working? Would love to actually have an update
-
Robert Way (@LabradorIce) reported@ClimateSadie Lots of issues with XplorNet from users. We have had it before and the cost versus speed and limitations on data usage were real tough. Most people that I know who had XplorNet in communities didn't keep it.
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca Why ******** do i need to wait until 1AM to get good internet this is dumb as ****.
-
Systematic Hands (@MADmarky112) reported@xplore_ca **** xplore 160$ a month for 20mb/s with a 200 g limit is bull **** most of the time it won't work at all
-
NotYetDone (@NotYetDone1) reported@theJagmeetSingh Xplornet.... Home of 480p on 1-2 devices, plus that 700+Ping. It's sad to see that my only option was (the Above) for a couple of years. We now got Access Internet in our town (which i still can't Access, due to Geo issues) it's getting better. Bless Starlink for Accessibility
-
🇨🇦Matthew Dunn🇨🇦 (@the905arts) reported@xplore_ca what in gods name do I have to do to get you guys to stop calling me? I don't want your service and with customer support harassing me I never will. make it stop!
-
🎃CelticMagician🎃🏳️🌈 (@CelticMagician) reportedIt may not seem like a lot, but we legit have not had this problem since our days with Xplornet. Starlink, you doing okay buddy? The occasional hiccup is a given because of trees, but that wasn't what this was. :/
-
Shannon Bileski☈ (@shannbil) reported@annoyed_wpg @xplore_ca Google the CA Manitoba lawsuit. Wish I hadn't thrown away all my records of how ****** the service was before switching to Starlink. Oy!
-
Palliser Triangle Ag Project (@KKoolyk) reported@BantrySeedman It’s been by far the best rural internet we’ve had. And price point. Had Xplornet (garbage), then Rogers Rocket hub (great speed but expensive), then Netago local company out of Hanna (was overall good, company sold to Telus and I hate Telus)
-
Bigwifi.ca (@BigwifiCa) reportedTofield** Telus service tonight 1-5 am Telus is working on their router in Tofield over night and they expect brief outages on all services . This may effect Xplornet, Telus , Big Wifi , and Eastlink.
-
GL Guevarra (@GLGuevarra) reported@xplore_ca The connection is back. But it was down for an hour or two.
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca You need to review the packages you offer. Its theft saying you can offer me 50down 10 up. Over 5 years of bad service and being lied to now being told Im 30 KMS from the closest tower? Who was allowed to sell me this trash. Maybe i can move closer if you pay my rent right?
-
MeanLadyOnTheSwing♀️ (@MichelleWTHell) reported@xplore_ca My internet has become incredibly slow and unreliable since Explore had bought out CCI here in rural Alberta. My neighbours too have noticed it. Instead of buying trucks, relocate that money towards improving your towers!
-
JJ Temple (@pcman87654) reported@xplore_ca Still blows my mind how you can't update your customers during the outage but you'll share posts about bald eagles casually. Was on hold for over 3 hours trying to figure out what was going on and didn't get through to anybody.
-
𝔣𝓇𝓪𝐧ｋ ᖇ乇𝓐г𝕕𝐎𝐍 Ƥʰᵒᵗ𝕆𝐬 (@FrankReardon1) reported@Maqaiti I wonder if there are issues when it rains like Xplornet have all the time?
-
Farming in Ontario (Leasa Janssen) (@RuralOntWoman) reported@Bell (mobility) reduced our rural service, @rogers is about to run a cable down our road. Guess where I'm going when they get done. TV, phones and internet. Our @xplore_ca reduces to dialup speed in the evenings and on weekends. ROGERS HERE WE COME, CAN'T HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH.
-
Hugh G Rekshun (@ThirtyStone420) reported@djhaubrich You don’t actually have pay for their service calls. That’s just another way they try to suck more money out of you. Just don’t back down from saying no. They’ll fold. They always do. I was a Xplornet customer for 20+ years now I have @SpaceXStarlink
-
Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reportedDear #CRTC Journo's, Words (and people) are coming to me asking if I know anything about Xplornet ending their service in Nunavut (this is what they are being told). Any info? CC: @thewirereport @CarttCa
