    @_BrookesPlace @CharcoalEpitaph @nejsnave Nothing can possibly be as terrible as explornet . If I were in the country then I'd be very suspect of any internet provider. Xplornet tried to pull the wool over me some years again until I threatened legal action as well as chucking the dish through there head office

    @dubsndoo We bought Starlink direct(no rogers needed). Only internet service we can get in Ontario country. Shaw satellite and xplornet lte had download speeds of .5. Had that for 10 yrs…now we have 250. 7 people stream/game or work at once w zero issue. Love it.

    @kevinki16180099 My internet is $50.00/month, I would think yours should be similar. Anything to do with xplornet is not good, horrible company & service.

    @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?

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

  • 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.

    Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reported

    @xplore_ca A tech came today. I am not impressed. This is a fixable problem that has happened and been fixed twice before. It's been years since we had an issue. This guy says the leaves on the trees make it an "unsuitable location for high-speed". Did the tower move? No. My house? No.

    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 you are an absolute joke. I would fold up that business and never say I was associated with them if I had any relationship with these scammers

  • Eh_Bee_Sea
    Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reported

    We've had outages before. We pay extra so that service calls are covered. They used to be so prompt and so helpful. Now... they have me considering doing business with Bell Canada. @xplore_ca, do you have any idea how bad things have to get for ME to be considering BELL?

    @xplore_ca Room for a tower for service at Attridge bus lines for South Cambridge?

  • 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.

    @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.

    @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!

    @xplore_ca Kinda funny how you treat customers that pay absurd amounts. You guys are losers.

    @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.

    I 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.

    @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

    @xplore_ca Yeah right, and using rabbit ears and pots and pan to transmit from customer to customer…

    @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.

    @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.

  • Tybernicus17
    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.

    @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. 💸💸

    @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.

    @ICcrapdaily @Xplornetsuppor1 @MarkReid42 *Xplornet Support* Dude literally fronts a company that wouldn't exist if not for tax payer subsidies. The CEO is literally Mark Carney and Trudeau's buddy.
