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

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.
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca Starting at 59.99 Until you end up paying 125$/month for THEE worst service in Canada hands down.
-
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,

Ginny girl ☯️ (@MJcalifornia3) reported@xplore_ca once again, my internet is down… has been all weekend. Once again, I’m on hold for over an hour AND I’m doing the work for them. Do I get the wages for doing the techs work? #xplore_ca sucks😑
-
Keith Murray (@keithwawanesa) reported@Mullin_95 I always had great service from Netset, until they sold out to Xplorenet. Xplornet is the best advertising for Rfnow! @RFNOW_Inc RFnow has the same good service as the old Netset.
-
Rob Anderson (@randerson137) reported@AdrienLouisSala Bruce Owen, spokesman for Mb Hydro, said all existing contractual obligations will continue to be met either by Xplornet or MHT “the fibre-optic network will continue to be owned and managed by Mb Hydro, providing safe, reliable energy to Manitobans at the lowest possible cost.

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.
-
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.
-
Nick Dodd (@nickdodd) reportedI lived 10 years where nothing more than 150mb was an option (aside from starlink, or xplornet - but neither support static IP addresses which I need). I personally contacted every fiber provider in Canada about getting fiber and when the major provider finally came to my town I was literally the first person to get hooked up.
-
yup yup yup (@blueyblondy) reportedGoodbye, @xplore_ca. I'm so glad to be rid of your terrible product and service forever. Long live, #STARLINK @Starlink
-
Ed DeBruyn (@debruyn_ed) reported@ConsumerSOS The inhabitants of Pretty River Valley, near Collingwood, Ontario, kneel before God of Elon because Bell, Rogers, Telus, & Xplornet can not provide cellular/internet service even close to what StarLink Satelite service provides. Yet 🇨🇦’s pay highest fees in world. Good travels!
-
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
-
peter sutherland (@pandamoan) reportedWhat’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.
-
from the void (@semiotechnic) reported@Xplornet are you folks experiencing an outage in some service areas???
-
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
-
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!
-
Byron Darlison (@ByronDarlison) reported@Xplornet could we please just both agree that I no longer want to be a customer and could you please just make that happen automatically? Because #THISISNUTS Thank you.
-
Byron Darlison (@ByronDarlison) reported@xplornet the wait time for your loyalty department is 56 minutes. Can you explain to me why I have to wait 56 minutes to tell you over the phone that I want to cancel my account?
-
Joe Jansen (@joejansen1) reported@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.
-
AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported@xplore_ca Its actually IMPOSSIBLE to meet any deadlines with this quality. Moving is not an option. This is not my problem. Its pretty sad when employees admit the over-crowed panels that customers are on.
-
Kelly McNeice (@McneiceKelly) reported@Xplornetsuppor1 @mario4thenorth Btw you are giving xplornet a bad name. I love Starlink. Never a problem.
-
CrustyOldFucker (@crustyoldfucker) reportedSo disappointed in the Government of New Brunswick. They are going to hand pick a few houses to receive the Starlink Rebate so they can say they helped. Total bullshit. Most people like myself have waited 18 years for something dependable and fast. Xplornet sucks plain and simple
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
James Fisher (@jamesfisher12) reported@xplore_ca Don’t worry I fixed the problem it’s ur company
-
Ryan (CRASH) Barton (@Crashola) reported@BrentStaeben My parents live in a dead spot for cell service, but have Xplornet and seems to work pretty well for them (and me when I visit)
-
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.

Allan Wilson (@uncleal13) reported@CoryBMorgan I had Xplornet, worked great for a few years, then it would bog down in the evenings as everyone in the area was streaming video. I switched to Statlink, works much better. Currently here in Saskatchewan in my village there are crews going through running the main fiberoptic lines and should have it to all the residences sometime in the summer. I'll be switching to the fibre when I can. I like Starlink, but I don't think it is sustainable, when it is up to full capacity, to continuously launch 3,000 satellites a year to maintain a fleet of 15,000. They are low earth orbit. Meaning each satellite can only stay in orbit about 5-7 years, then it comes down and burns up.
