    @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?

    @xplore_ca @Victoriab1107 IM watching my signal go from 16-17 -15 SINR AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE what..... my internet stutters and lags when it hits that low. Hands down worst service.

    lol Xplornet thinks I’m gonna wait six days for them to come fix my internet. If it’s not done by Monday they’ll never see another dime. @Bell would you like a new customer? Who wouldn’t?

    @xplore_ca Hey thats great you have time to tweet about this stuff. Your customers would like their services to work. Filed a ccts complaint this afternoon.

    Everyone knows Xplore/Xplornet isn't good enough. The file even says so! They suck. Yet Telus tells people to use this option. Why? There's going to be problems that can affect life & death situations here. #CRTC

    @xplore_ca Your internet is down in Manitoba and no one's available to call on Christmas, can you guys do something about this?

    What’s up Xplornet? You’re putting out a signal as reliable as a deadbeat Dad. Too little, too late. No acknowledgement. Outsourced reporting of outages. But premium prices. WTF from K0K3K0.

    jerome tetreault (@tetrje) reported

    Dear @xplornet. Thanks so much for the worst service. 2wks for a service call is unacceptable. How can any business survive without internet for 2wks. Starlink is on it's way.

    @BobIrvingCJOB and since I am in rural area with @Xplore aka xplornet ISP with oversold network hardware infrastructure service often degrades so badly that they force me to be wasting my $25/mo fee on bomber games as well so these things appear to be new standards of customer service 4 all biz

    @GSmokesweed1 I'm using my tablet while away and that limits me a lot and Xplornet (for North Quebec) sucks...

    @xplore_ca Been dealing with an issue since November. I had 3 routers & 3 accounts. Went down to 2 accounts w new equipment. Now my new equipment doesn’t work & my account was cancelled. Tech sup is as confused as I am. It’s Friday, I have no internet probably all weekend. Great!

    @xplore_ca I'm not sure you can help me, but my Xbox says to use IPV6. Is that available with your service and how do I go about getting it?

    @1969Commando @MrStache9 Yea sadly I have XplorNet which loses satellite signal if a seagull farts in the distance.

    @ChadRCaswell @KristjanHebert But then the public funding then goes to Xplornet, one of the worst service providers out there. 🤔

  • HydraulicDesign
    James Carruthers (@HydraulicDesign) reported

    @xplore_ca sent someone to "upgrade" my service to a new nearby tower and my service went from "fair" to "almost unusable." The contractor brushed off my immediately noticing it was worse as if I can't tell the difference between my wifi and my Net speed.

    @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

    Tofield** 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.

    @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.

    @xplore_ca I think I need one of these in my backyard so I can get better service. What a joke. Do NOT sign up for this company.

    @mcleodtaylor1 @Eastlink That's cheap...I pay $124 for @Bell_Aliant and you can't even watch a movie without continual buffing. Garbage service. Looking at Xplornet which is similar pricing but hopefully better service.

    @ContrarianTribe I live in Ontario and Starlink is the only way I have internet. Our download speed was 0.5 with xplornet and Shaw. We couldn’t do online learning during covid. We got starlink and now 7 of us can stream, play online games and work at the same time with zero issue.

    @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?

    @BrentStaeben My parents live in a dead spot for cell service, but have Xplornet and seems to work pretty well for them (and me when I visit)

    @xplore_ca 10+ days without Internet and support cannot give me an ETA on restoration. What is happening? #majorfail #xplorenet
