    @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.

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

    Another 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!

    @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,…

    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.

    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

    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

    @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 Today Xplore decided to upgrade the tower in our area, except they didn’t contact us about upgrading our equipment. Good job xplornet, thanks for the sales pitch to upgrade now that you’ve discontinued the service we pay for… ******* garbage company through and through

    @xplore_ca Internet has been down in many areas for about 21 hours, checked with a couple websites that also confirmed it. I reset the router & modem multiple times, bypassed the router & hooked the modem directly to a laptop and still nothing. Any eta on when it will work again?

    @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,

    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

    @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.

    Tofield** Telus service tonight 1-5 am Telus is working on their router in Tofield over night and they expect brief outages on all services . This may effect Xplornet, Telus , Big Wifi , and Eastlink.

    @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.

    @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.

  • 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!

    @xplore_ca @Victoriab1107 IM watching my signal go from 16-17 -15 SINR AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE what..... my internet stutters and lags when it hits that low. Hands down worst service.

  • The_RealestReal
    Mike Gazzola (@The_RealestReal) reported

    @xplore_ca Not enough towers, prices that are legitimately out of this world for the service offered. There’s no other companies out here though so you have no other option. They know this and take advantage which is why there’s a class action against them right now

  • NotYetDone1
    NotYetDone (@NotYetDone1) reported

    @theJagmeetSingh Xplornet.... Home of 480p on 1-2 devices, plus that 700+Ping. It's sad to see that my only option was (the Above) for a couple of years. We now got Access Internet in our town (which i still can't Access, due to Geo issues) it's getting better. Bless Starlink for Accessibility

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @xplore_ca Is there currently an outage in the Lac Ste Anne County area since the big windstorm last night?? My Internet services are down even after restarting my system a few times

  • Beardune
    Andrew Single (@Beardune) reported

    @nathan_koop Xplornet taking over MBNetset was a big step down in quality. Manitoba has squandered the value of all the dark fiber that MB Hydro put in, and now Starlink is making it obsolete.

  • atomic_hydra
    AtomicHydra (@atomic_hydra) reported

    @xplore_ca I think I need one of these in my backyard so I can get better service. What a joke. Do NOT sign up for this company.

  • LabradorIce
    Robert Way (@LabradorIce) reported

    @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.
