AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca Games=Unplayable watching streams in any decent quality is non existent Streaming or uploading of any kind is non existent I will certainly lose my job because of this companies bad internet. Uploading files for work is a nightmare Video calls cant hear me because im a robot.

G. Louise (@Shuswapgigi) reported@MrStache9 We have Starlink and we like it. We live rural so our options were limited and what we had was very poor in both cost and effectiveness. Starlink was super easy to set up and works reliably well. It costs us $156 a month which is more that xplornet but I wouldn't go back!
-
Dan Wiebe (@DanWiebeFree) reported@xplore_ca Don’t believe a word of Xplorenet . I know this from personal experience and my friends and acquaintances share my experience. The speeds and data are far lower than they “sell” their service is crap. Starlink work’s terrific.
-
Nichole Neubauer (@N_Neubauer) reportedHelp! Using Arlo camera system at farm 45 min away near SK border to monitor cow feed and H2O.Sasktel installed a new tower. Telus Smart Hub bounces between Telus and Sasktel tower. Result: deactivation of hub. Xplornet is full Starlink is $ (already have at home) options?
-
Darren (@xraydares) reported@pcroft @xplore_ca That sucks
-
Christina Sawisky 🧡 (@CSawisky) reported from Macdonald, ManitobaBecause #Xplornet sucks so bad I’ve used all my data. I need a better option!
-
Acura (@TheSmitefulOne) reported@b3almason @RachelNotley I have Xplornet. My neighbors have Starlink. We checked together. Both suck, however, many in the area have said their Xplornet signal became better when some users switched to Starlink. They are roughly the same, but nowhere near as good as fibre optic in the cities.
-
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!
-
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
-
Gerard Cooke (@GerardCooke8) reported@xplore_ca You don’t need my account information to tell me if an upgrade is planned for the Pugwash, Nova Scotia tower and if so when. You have my name that will show I am a customer of xplore.
-
J Snow (@DrewPeacock705) reported@xplore_ca Oh ya? 3 calls to cancel advising AH was deceased and offered death certificate. Still got billed another month and called only to have agent demand to speak to my dead father. Two calls later and it is cancelled. 5 calls total to cancel.
-
Josh Boileau (@BoileauJosh) reportedWhen the services you provide suck so much, you rename yourself to confuse customers into buying the same garbage. @xplore_ca formerly @xplornet.
-
Jill Harris 🪄 (@jilliancynth) reported@JennArndt Our ONLY Internet option for our new house is Xplornet, and it's HORRIBLE. So frustrating. So expensive for extremely slow Internet.
-
Jo Watier (@kowalat) reported@MtlYlavoie @simard_colette He was the only way we could get decent, fast, reliable Internet after Xplornet. With Xplornet it took between 2-3 minutes just to go from one email to the next. Speed was crap but with Starlink lightning fast. We only got rid in September because Bell Fibe arrived,
-
who cares (@ChewyChewyChomp) reported@xplore_ca Nope. I’ve tried several times and now it’s too late. My internet has gone to **** since you bought out my previous provider.
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@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.
-
Tybernicus (@Tybernicus17) reported@mario4thenorth Same thing as with EORN...Eastern Ontario Regional Network, tasked with getting broadband to rural eastern Ontario. 20+ years and a house bought in '98 can only access Starlink which is not part of EORN. Xplornet satellite latency and cost not competitive. Cell service spotty. When house was purchased Bell Canada promised DSL in 6 months. LOL. First of all too far from local switching central office for DSL.
-
CityyGal (@LLowney49) reportedI had @xplornet, the service was terrible, usually single digit download speeds when it worked at all, so I canceled it. I am 73 years old and they expect me to climb up on my roof to retrieve a piece off the dish or they are going to charge me $500. #xplornetsucks
-
CDN_NRG (@CDN_NRG) reported@xplore_ca Terrible.
-
Georgia, yr comics teacher (@voiceshapes) reportedAnyone have Xplornet & can’t get consistent service with a 3rd party router? Really want to keep using what I have but my access keeps cutting, like a few times a day - the router says it’s the modem & the modem says it’s the router 😭 Both support services can’t figure it out
-
CJH (@CJH39493411) reported@xplore_ca Pretty pic but don’t care, weak attempt to distract from stealing from people by not providing the service they pay for.
-
Beverly | 📌Commissions open in pin!!📌 (@ShazelFable) reportedMy internet has been on and off since yesterday. Xplornet internet freakin sucks DX
-
Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reportedEveryone 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
-
Moe G (@moegaultier) reported@xplore_ca Yeah right, and using rabbit ears and pots and pan to transmit from customer to customer…
-
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
-
Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) reported@jzantinge2 @KenSchaus We had Xplornet from the time of them first offering service in our area &, after being without any internet for 2 months in 2020, we changed to another non-Bell / non-Rogers internet service provider. Fibre has been laid in our area to be connected soon.
-
Gerard Cooke (@GerardCooke8) reported@xplore_ca I have called tech support 50 times and they can’t fix the issue. It’s too many customers on the Pugwash Nova Scotia tower. You can’t fix my problem till you fix the tower. Most of the people in my area are switching over to star link. I will too this spring.
-
SirFrancis Bacon (@SirFrancisBac20) reported@xplore_ca Pull it down
-
Arjentine - Free of FFXIV (@Arjentine) reportedXplore (xplornet) Satellite speed's like water running through a clogged drain (except for if it's raining, in which case it just doesn't work at all -- also metered!). #learnfrommymistakes #theworstserviceinNS #atleast

Garth Twitchell (@GarthTwitchell) reported@Colin1Best @TownOfMiltonON @vankayak I hope you’re right Colin, but I haven’t seen anyone with plans to bring high speed service up First Line Nassagaweya north of 25 side road to Arkell road. I’m close to the Xplornet tower at 28 side road and even so, it’s hard to even do basic stuff at times.
