    @xplore_ca is there an outage in Central Alberta?

  • fanCRTCProfling

    Alternative 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

    @BezirganMocha /2 I can't get internet other than Starlink. Even cell signal is limited to 2 bar LTE at best and often degrades to 3G. At another property in '98 promised DSL in 6 months by Bell. Today, only Xplornet satellite (which is **** and very expensive) or Starlink.

    @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!

    @xplore_ca, when will you guys restore the Internet service in Standoff? No service for almost 24 hours? I called support and left 3 VM, and no update so far.

    @xplore_ca Why ******** do i need to wait until 1AM to get good internet this is dumb as ****.

  • becca9913

    @xplore_ca internet has been down in our area of North Bruce Peninsula for almost 24 hours now with no resolution in sight. Any chance you guys can look into fixing this???

    @Penny36274714 @reaIDonaIdTru_ Well I had xplornet and was paying $140 for 300 GB but I switched to landline internet with telus and now I pay $70 a month with a home phone and get unlimited data and much better service now too

    I'm currently using my kid's phone as a hotspot just so I can try an get this dealt with. Beyond frustrating. It doesn't *actually* count as 24-7 support if NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE. @xplore_ca - what happened!?

  • justushickey

    @PrimusHelps Your customer service is non-existant. You and #Xplornet are ine in the same. Garbage.

  • Eh_Bee_Sea
    Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reported

    We'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?

  • pandamoan
    peter sutherland (@pandamoan) reported

    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.

  • fanCRTCProfling
    Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reported

    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

  • The_RealestReal
    Mike Gazzola (@The_RealestReal) reported

    @xplore_ca Not enough towers, prices that are legitimately out of this world for the service offered. There’s no other companies out here though so you have no other option. They know this and take advantage which is why there’s a class action against them right now

    @cogecohelps omg….the worst internet service ever. Xplornet was better at half the price

  • NSTreasures
    NovaScotia Treasures (@NSTreasures) reported

    @TimHoustonNS Insane that an island is getting high speed Internet before us, off a secondary highway, in Colchester. They completely botched it here and thought xplornet was worth a damn.

    @GLGuevarra @xplore_ca Lucky you, it went down last night and is still off now - almost 24 hours

  • KKoolyk
    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)

  • VoosieVooters
    Lomaxcat (@VoosieVooters) reported

    @xplore_ca I'm getting latency of 1.5s with my Xplore service. Not much of a bargain.

  • JG98942814
    MightyJoeMaple (@JG98942814) reported

    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?

  • Suppy86
    Sean Uppy (@Suppy86) reported

    @_BrookesPlace @CharcoalEpitaph @nejsnave Nothing can possibly be as terrible as explornet . If I were in the country then I'd be very suspect of any internet provider. Xplornet tried to pull the wool over me some years again until I threatened legal action as well as chucking the dish through there head office

  • RuralOntWoman
    Farming in Ontario (Leasa Janssen) (@RuralOntWoman) reported

    @xplore_ca Your Internet connection is very slow. Your Internet download speed is very low. Web browsing should work, but videos could load slowly. ~Can't wait until Roger's has the cable done for our area.

  • KelllEhhh
    Kel.Ehh (@KelllEhhh) reported

    @xplore_ca have you any updates for your outage? We were told last night at 8:30pm EST that crews were dispatched and should only take 3 hours... It's been 11 hours since then and still no updates or service.

  • freshouttafacks
    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.

  • Eh_Bee_Sea
    Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reported

    @xplore_ca A tech came today. I am not impressed. This is a fixable problem that has happened and been fixed twice before. It's been years since we had an issue. This guy says the leaves on the trees make it an "unsuitable location for high-speed". Did the tower move? No. My house? No.

    @xplore_ca Worst service in ontario hands down @APLenehan

  • 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.

    @elonmusk @SpaceX Cancelling, been waiting 2 years, and now data caps and throttling? I can get that garbage from Xplornet now.

    @kevinki16180099 @Shawridgefarm @RSHFarms I've had starlink for 7-8 years.. never had an issue longer than an hour outage.. Watching the Pink Pony Pole Massacre show of Xplornet and government funded shenanigans.. glad we went the route we did.

    Another day dealing with painfully slow internet in #Northumberland. How are others dealing with this? Is it only my connection? @PLawrenceMP we need reliable reasonably priced rural internet. Xplornet is our only option providing us with an upload speed of .2. That’s point 2!
