    @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

    @JonnyBowhunter I get junk mail from Bell and Rogers in the mailbox constantly for wireless internet, they’ve both came out and did the same ‘sorry no signal’ routine. My wife has a Roger’s cellphone and I have a Bell cellphone and both get better signal than our current Xplornet internet.

    @xplore_ca is down again!!! Final straw. I’m moving my service to #Starlink @SpaceX

    @annafoat @AshleyFoxRPN @Rootly69 Same. Only choice is Xplornet or Starlink, and Xplornet was awful.

  • JessGreenfield

    @xplore_ca why does it take 2+ hours to get ahold of customer service and there's no callback option??? And why wouldn't you warn people that the equipment is overheating so you had to power it down, instead of just shutting it off without saying anything and causing chaos???

  • Tybernicus17

    @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 Hands down, this is the worst company I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. With other options unavailable, I had to put up with paying for 25 MB/S service but only receiving 3 MB/S and almost no upload speed. I wasted hours on the phone with them…they don’t care. 💸💸

  • MikeSQuinlan
    Michael Quinlan (@MikeSQuinlan) reported

    @Iraqveteran8888 That is as bad as Xplornet. I guess I will not be switching over to Starlink anytime soon unless they can crank up the speed and reliability.

  • atomic_hydra

    @xplore_ca Starting at 59.99 Until you end up paying 125$/month for THEE worst service in Canada hands down.

    @Xplornetsuppor1 @BlondeBigot11 Not sure if you chose Xplornet Support ironically or not... The single worst ISP ever. Could just be you're retarded.

  • ChewyChewyChomp
    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.

    Garth Twitchell (@GarthTwitchell) reported

    Tonight 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.

    @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.

  • Eh_Bee_Sea
    Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reported

    No 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.

    Anyone 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

  • tetrje
    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.

  • TheSmitefulOne
    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.

    @xplore_ca The connection is back. But it was down for an hour or two.

  • i_like_soup_
    J✨ (@i_like_soup_) reported

    Hey Xplornet!! A customer not having internet for 6 days is not acceptable in case you were wondering!!! I put up with having 2 Mbps speeds when I pay for 50 Mbps (at a price that should get me gigabit speeds) but this is ridiculous!!!

  • RTFreshNFruity
    EmceeLagiacrus (@RTFreshNFruity) reported

    If you live in New Brunswick, Canada and you value your time, money and/or sanity, do NOT buy @xplore_ca internet. Never in my life have I seen an ISP that struggles so hard to make internet happen.

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

    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?

    @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.

    Rural internet provider in Northumberland county @PLawrenceMP is dreadful. Xplornet is our only option. Typical upload speed is .2. Yes point 2. For anyone working from home that’s useless. When will we have access to good reliable reasonably priced high speed internet service?

    @xplore_ca You need to fix your internet it's getting really annoying I use YouTube to help me sleep and it never works I try resetting and nothing

  • pcman87654
    JJ Temple (@pcman87654) reported

    @xplore_ca Still blows my mind how you can't update your customers during the outage but you'll share posts about bald eagles casually. Was on hold for over 3 hours trying to figure out what was going on and didn't get through to anybody.

    Dear #CRTC Journo's, Words (and people) are coming to me asking if I know anything about Xplornet ending their service in Nunavut (this is what they are being told). Any info? CC: @thewirereport @CarttCa

    It may not seem like a lot, but we legit have not had this problem since our days with Xplornet. Starlink, you doing okay buddy? The occasional hiccup is a given because of trees, but that wasn't what this was. :/

    @xplore_ca are you experiencing an outage? I’ve tried connecting through an Ethernet cable (no luck), I’ve done a power cycle, I checked my account to make sure it was nothing on my end. Why haven’t I had internet for longer than an hour since before Christmas? #xplorenet
