Xplore Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
GL Guevarra (@GLGuevarra) reported@xplore_ca The connection is back. But it was down for an hour or two.
-
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.
-
Josh Ciemitis (@JoshCiemitis) reported@xplore_ca Internet has been down in many areas for about 21 hours, checked with a couple websites that also confirmed it. I reset the router & modem multiple times, bypassed the router & hooked the modem directly to a laptop and still nothing. Any eta on when it will work again?
-
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.
-
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.
-
tsaloranta (hän, she, elle) (@tlsaloranta) reported@annafoat @AshleyFoxRPN @Rootly69 Same. Only choice is Xplornet or Starlink, and Xplornet was awful.
-
Christina Sawisky 🧡 (@CSawisky) reported from Macdonald, ManitobaBecause #Xplornet sucks so bad I’ve used all my data. I need a better option!
-
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.
-
🇨🇦Dave Nussbaumer (@DaveNuss17) reported from Yorkton, Saskatchewan@OrenCairns Best thing I did 2 years ago….and I had the business package from Xplornet….and they had zero service skills!
-
𝔣𝓇𝓪𝐧ｋ ᖇ乇𝓐г𝕕𝐎𝐍 Ƥʰᵒᵗ𝕆𝐬 (@FrankReardon1) reported@Maqaiti I wonder if there are issues when it rains like Xplornet have all the time?
-
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?
-
BJMMURPHY 🇨🇦 (@BJMMURPHY1) reportedAnother 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!
-
Arpad Hild (@zotfot) reported@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
-
Steve Faguy (@fagstein) reportedHaving Videotron expand to Manitoba covers up for the government's failure in the Bell/MTS deal to maintain a fourth wireless provider in that province. Bell sold some MTS customers and spectrum to Xplornet, but Xplornet Mobile shut down last year.
-
Derek McLean (@dmclean82) reported@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.
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca Worst service in ontario hands down @APLenehan
-
Dean H. (@loopholefarms) reported@wheatiepete @Andrew_Dalgarno You know you are a garbage company when you have to rebrand. #xplornet
-
Peter van Oordt (@PvO385) reported@xplore_ca As an Xplore customer, I can attest that their service is the best when there are literally no other options available, save for maybe smoke signals and carrier pigeons.
-
Derek McLean (@dmclean82) reported@xplore_ca so far a 24 hour service outage in my area. No notifications from xplore as to why, or how long. Just wasting space talking about electric cars. For anyone else tired of this company please file a complaint with ccts and maybe better business bureau.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reportedI'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!?
-
Johnny ❄ ᔮᓂ ᖃᓴᓪᓗᐊᖅ (@JohnnyKasudluak) reportedLooks like you can't just cancel your xplornet services on you own via their website, they make you call them. Website navigation seems intentional, hard to find. Had to Google search about cancelation in order to find out it is over the phone only. Is that legal? 1/2
-
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!
-
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?
-
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?
-
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?
-
Bennett Hunter (I am Canadian Libertarian) (@Can_Libertarian) reported@macjbby @nationalpost I live stream in full HD with no problem. Typical speeds are around 200 - 300 Mbps down/15-25 Mbps up. I use to be stuck with Xplornet that advertised 10/1 as the best speeds for my area, yet rarely ever got more than 3 - 4 down/1 up. Starlink is on a completely different level,…
-
Tybernicus (@Tybernicus17) reported@MajJensen3 @OJoelsen Why would he? In 2021 I bought a house on a paved road 6kms from a small town. Not even Xplornet was available. Cell signal very weak. If not for Starlink, I and many others would have no internet access.
-
Tybernicus (@Tybernicus17) reported@LeoNasau @thinking_panda Yep. 36,000km is the same as the Telesat satellites that were support Xplornet sat internet. My average latency was 670ms with that gear. Useless tech. Starlink: 550km from earth Telesat: 36,000km from earth.
