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

    @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.

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

    @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.

    @ClimateSadie Lots of issues with XplorNet from users. We have had it before and the cost versus speed and limitations on data usage were real tough. Most people that I know who had XplorNet in communities didn't keep it.

  • Syd_Vakarian
    Syd_Vakarian (@Syd_Vakarian) reported

    @xplore_ca wow, you charge $75 for someone to come to my house to test and see if I can get service. and if I can't, then I have to pay the $75, but if there's service available at my house I don't have to pay the $75 for the test. what in the hell is that? Gross.

    @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.

    @mcleodtaylor1 @Eastlink That's cheap...I pay $124 for @Bell_Aliant and you can't even watch a movie without continual buffing. Garbage service. Looking at Xplornet which is similar pricing but hopefully better service.

    @xplore_ca Maybe fix your outages ànd notify your customers

  • VoosieVooters
    Lomaxcat (@VoosieVooters) reported

    @RCLranger @stan_sdcollins I'll have to call Bell again and see if we can get a signal. They haven't been in our area before, and Rogers didn't work for us, so we've been stuck with Xplornet.

  • RuralOntWoman
    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.

  • 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.

  • Shuswapgigi
    G. Louise (@Shuswapgigi) reported

    @MrStache9 We have Starlink and we like it. We live rural so our options were limited and what we had was very poor in both cost and effectiveness. Starlink was super easy to set up and works reliably well. It costs us $156 a month which is more that xplornet but I wouldn't go back!

  • Tybernicus17
    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.

    @CBCNews Xplornet charges far too much. Please fix this.

  • OtherSpenny
    Spenser Hamilton (@OtherSpenny) reported

    @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 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.

    @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.

    @xplore_ca your brief 4 question survey doesn’t help. Your internet sucks! That isn’t an option. Tech support is no help and corp office is not calling about my case! Would I recommend you to a friend? That is a HARD NO!

    @Starlink my remote oil and gas clients are pretty upset, considering it was a 3 hour outage. it’s first outage on record since we cut them over from xplornet tho

  • 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?

  • GarthTwitchell
    Garth Twitchell (@GarthTwitchell) reported

    @Colin1Best @TownOfMiltonON @vankayak I hope you’re right Colin, but I haven’t seen anyone with plans to bring high speed service up First Line Nassagaweya north of 25 side road to Arkell road. I’m close to the Xplornet tower at 28 side road and even so, it’s hard to even do basic stuff at times.

    @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.

    @xplore_ca 10+ days without Internet and support cannot give me an ETA on restoration. What is happening? #majorfail #xplorenet

    Looks 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

  • AndreaGal67
    Andrea Galante (@AndreaGal67) reported

    @altimaguy11 The issue is that the Xplornet didn't have the speed or download capability. We have no cell signal where I live so EVERYTHING runs through Starlink...all cell phones (talk and text), internet, VOIP phone, streaming and computers. Seamlessly.

    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

    @xplornet I can’t be the only one having trouble tonight.... cmon man

  • Can_Libertarian

    @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,…

    Do you even have tech support available?! I called in an wait for 46 minutes this morning. 1 hour 15 minutes tonight, and at 20 minutes now with no response! This is unacceptable! I'm so ready to leave this service. 😡 @xplore_ca
