Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Death (@JasonDeath187) reported@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?
-
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
-
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.
-
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?
-
Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reportedNo one answering @xplore_ca "24-7" customer support line. 3 or 4 tries in the last week... on hold indefinitely. The same song plays over and over and over. Email support? Auto-reply that a "case has been opened" with no details or information about actually getting service.
-
Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reportedWe've had outages before. We pay extra so that service calls are covered. They used to be so prompt and so helpful. Now... they have me considering doing business with Bell Canada. @xplore_ca, do you have any idea how bad things have to get for ME to be considering BELL?
-
jerome tetreault (@tetrje) reportedDear @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.
-
Chavela (@chavela85) reported@xplore_ca been having problems with your internet for a month. Now it's super slow and I have to wait for some technical department! Customer service sucks!!! Why does it take so long to get resolutions??!! Going to have to go back to starlink.
-
Dean H. (@loopholefarms) reported@wheatiepete @Andrew_Dalgarno You know you are a garbage company when you have to rebrand. #xplornet
-
@cattlemen (@cattlemen1979) reported@xplore_ca It’s awful internet Was told if it was slow in the evening that’s just how it is the network is too busy like wtf
-
MightyJoeMaple (@JG98942814) reportedlol 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?
-
Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reported@xplore_ca Over $100/month for service... this is unacceptable. I know that as soon as an experienced tech gets here, he'll be able to fix it without an issue and he'll shake his head when I tell him about what the last guy said. Same thing happened last time. Surely you can do better.
-
Garth Twitchell (@GarthTwitchell) reportedTonight reminds me of how poor our internet is in northern @TownOfMiltonON with no prospect of it getting better anytime soon. Extremely frustrating. @Colin1Best @vankayak Wireless internet from Xplornet is hopeless. Someone brings me good internet, I’ll buy it.
-
Moe G (@moegaultier) reported@xplore_ca Yeah right, and using rabbit ears and pots and pan to transmit from customer to customer…
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca Kinda funny how you treat customers that pay absurd amounts. You guys are losers.
-
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.
-
James Fisher (@jamesfisher12) reported@xplore_ca Don’t worry I fixed the problem it’s ur company
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Jason Wright (@JasonDwright2) reported@issaibahim84 @Bell_Support StarLink is 140.00 a month. We are up over 450 mbs on a Gen2 receiver. The Mini we have on the trucks ,we are seldom under 350 mbs even doing 65 mph down the highway. We had Bell,it went down more than my ex wife,samething with Xplornet,Telus. Starlink has been the best to date.
-
GL Guevarra (@GLGuevarra) reported@xplore_ca we got no internet in our area. Customer support is 1 hr wait time. Is there outages in the Westman Area?
-
Karel Baayen (@KarelBaayen) reported@xplore_ca is unbelievably bad. Called a few months ago for technical help and was promised a return call which never happened. Called two weeks ago, promised another return call. Never happened. Called today and was promised a return call. SMH
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sir Jerry J. Molnár (@BlackhawkJer) reported@xplore_ca Having serious technical issues, and not being able to communicate with your support team is extremely frustrating. My family is very disappointed with your company.
-
Mamabear 🇨🇦 🏴 (@freshouttafacks) reported@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.
-
Mikofox 🍁 (It's for your Safety! 🤮) (@mikofox) reported@xplore_ca @XploreBusiness @APLenehan Final Report: After 17 years with a #xplornet satellite dish, we cancelled our service yesterday [to billing month end] and were cut off last night, a day short of what I stated. Took three customer reps and they still didn't get it right.
-
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)
-
Indubitably Tho (@IndubitablyTho) reported@preta_6 With Starlink, while not as fast as Telus fibre (right now), you can look forward to incremental upgrades in speed, and equipment, over time. I suggested to a client suffering with only the choice of Xplornet (crap speed + outages) switch to Starlink back in 2020. Installation couldn't have been easier and reliability of his Internet connection immediately stabilized. Everything has got better since, including being sent the latest hardware for free. Starlink's plans for continuously upgrading their satellite constellation were the deal maker for me - and should be for others suffering under Xplornet.
