  @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.

  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.

  It may not seem like a lot, but we legit have not had this problem since our days with Xplornet. Starlink, you doing okay buddy? The occasional hiccup is a given because of trees, but that wasn't what this was. :/

  @xplore_ca Pretty pic but don’t care, weak attempt to distract from stealing from people by not providing the service they pay for.

  @voiceshapes I use Xplornet because Bell up here is slower than dial up. Still use the modem that came with it and have no issues

  @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.

  @cbraedley @CBCNS @nsgov I literally signed up for Xplornet today. Been livi mg without internet at the house for several years, reluctant to pay for Xplornet. They have promos now that are palatable and give me something until Fibre arrives next year. It’s sad in this day and age to have these issues

  @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.

  @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!

  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!!!
