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

    @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

    @darrell88384848 @jayDouc3tt3 @BambinoJalapeno My only options for internet here are xplornet and Starlink , or hotspot my phone which would would require a cell booster because the cell signal is non existent.

    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

    @moegaultier @xplore_ca To transmit from customer to customer......LOL....you must be unaware of how Sattelite Internet operates.

    @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. 💸💸

    @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.

  • tecnogreen
    Oscar Diaz (@tecnogreen) reported

    @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.

    @pcroft @xplore_ca That sucks

  • lundhillbilly
    far apart & close at heart (@lundhillbilly) reported

    Just became a @SpaceXStarlink customer. Instead of the horribly slow wifi from xplornet, paying for 25 mb and actually only getting 10-15 on a good day, we now have 174+ mb. I don’t know what to say!! Get #Starlink!

  • Tybernicus17
    Tybernicus (@Tybernicus17) reported

    @mario4thenorth Same thing as with EORN...Eastern Ontario Regional Network, tasked with getting broadband to rural eastern Ontario. 20+ years and a house bought in '98 can only access Starlink which is not part of EORN. Xplornet satellite latency and cost not competitive. Cell service spotty. When house was purchased Bell Canada promised DSL in 6 months. LOL. First of all too far from local switching central office for DSL.

    @ChadRCaswell @KristjanHebert But then the public funding then goes to Xplornet, one of the worst service providers out there. 🤔

  • cstewartyqr
    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.

  • VoosieVooters
    Lomaxcat (@VoosieVooters) reported

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

  • Lucas_Bourque_
    Lucas Bourque (@Lucas_Bourque_) reported

    Where I live we surprisingly don’t have Bell Fibre. Our only options were Eastlink, Xplornet, or Starlink. Eastlink’s lines in our area were very congested and the service was often slow and spotty, so we decided to try Starlink.

    AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported

    @xplore_ca @Victoriab1107 Its a trap no one can help you they just look at your device and say its congestion or there is nothing they can do. Every thing is fine here. Worst service in Canada It should be ILLEGAL you claim you can watch high quality streaming.

  • PvO385
    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.

  • fanCRTCProfling
    Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reported

    I wonder if we should ask how Xplornet (Xplore?) is doing in Atlantic Canada? I see absolutely nothing from them. Maybe people just can't connect? But, heh, is it worth even wondering about? That service goes down with snowflakes. #CRTC

    CrustyOldFucker (@crustyoldfucker) reported

    So 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

    @xplore_ca Why? I told you I’ve talked to you guys. Unless you trained a bunch of people in the last week you are asking me to waste more of my time on a company that doesn’t value its customers. For what? So YOU can feel better because you can say you tried to help? Pathetic!

  • cbraedley
    Charles Braedley (@cbraedley) reported

    @Addy_Bo @CBCNS @nsgov Yup, definitely rural... although not by much. Less than 10 minutes to the 102 highway. Xplornet "delivered" "highspeed" LTE service to the area...

  • fanCRTCProfling
    Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reported

    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

  • GarthTwitchell
    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.

  • 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!!!

  • Haywire_45
    Clint Howard (@Haywire_45) reported

    Anyone else’s Starlink really slow today? It’s as bad as xplornet was.

  • 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.

  • shannbil
    Shannon Bileski☈ (@shannbil) reported

    @annoyed_wpg @xplore_ca Google the CA Manitoba lawsuit. Wish I hadn't thrown away all my records of how ****** the service was before switching to Starlink. Oy!

  • fanCRTCProfling
    Commissioner Miner (@fanCRTCProfling) reported

    Also, why is Xplornet not made party to this #CRTC outage file? Do they not operate at all in the area hit by hurricane Fiona?

  • brandonmurph10
    Brandon Murphy (@brandonmurph10) reported

    @xplore_ca . Absolute embarrassment. How do you take money from ppl that you can't provide the service too? Every excuse in the book yet nothing changes. Keep taking that money you thiefs #scam

    @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.
