Xplore Outage Report in Hartington, Ontario

@APLenehan our local tower has had “known issues” for four years now. Our internet doesn’t work at all now. According to xplornet, there are no plans to fix the tower. This is the worst service I have ever seen. 10 kB/s now. This is shameful.

@AnnDeer4 @Xplornet I have and they quickly gave me a $15/month credit for 6 months. But I almost don’t care - it’s the speed and dependability I need, not a relatively menial and temporary savings in service. I think that’s also telling how they gave the discount so effortlessly.

@Xplornet many internet users of your service in @SthFrontenacTwp having internet issues and getting kicked off? Is there too much of a surge on the system? @SFrontenac

I feel like @Xplornet and similar rural internet companies are the modern equivalent of Blockbuster, and guys like @elonmusk with @SpaceX’s Starlink are Netflix. The former simply can’t see the train coming down the tracks. Stop ignoring your customers’ needs! 7/

@AndyBlizzard87 I hear ya. I was with WTC for years near Sunbury but after our last move they didn’t have coverage in our current rural area. We were forced to choose @Xplornet, who have been hit and miss, but over the last 1-2 years they’ve been brutal because they flooded their LTE service.

So, I ask an honest question of @Xplornet - what are you doing to address your overburdened LTE service? Forget the corporate speak, subterfuge, key messaging & the oh so dreaded, “Please contact our customer support.”Instead, provide a true answer so we can decide to stay or go.

The tragic thing is we get used to @Xplornet’s shitty service, we sit there, and we take it. We become complacent, and we say: “Well, tonight it only took 1 min to buffer a movie.” “I think those pixels are faces.” “It only paused or froze 10 times over 2 hours.” 13/

@LimestoneDSB Now day 15 with unstable internet. Xplornet needs to get going. We've been patient but enough is enough. This is the big rural internet provider !

@the_logic @davidreevely Btw I’m replying using data bc xplornet is down or at dialup speed

@rantonstupidity I am technically in Belleville, but only because of Harris. I'm actually in the country with nothing that resembles a cable within 2 km. DSL failed because of crappy wires that were not being maintained. Xplornet was terrible. No 5G out here either and Bell is throttling I think

@DougAlder When contracts to bring internet to rural areas were opened up, only one company applied, Xplornet, and their service is worse than Bell's.

Unlimited data is false advertisement. THEY FINNA SLOW DOWN MY **** BECAUSE I USED TOO MUCH DATA LIKE BRO I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS UNLIMITED, NOW I GOTTA USE DATA THAT WAS MADE BY XPLORNET OR SUM ****, THIS ******* DATA IS SLOWER THAN THE GTA 5 LOADING SCREEN WTF $300 FOR THIS!?

@Xplornet No troubleshooting required. Your satellite service is overloaded and useless in its present state. Because it is a single satellite, upgrading capacity is next to impossible. Don’t waste your money folks.

Anyone else having issues with @Xplornet ? Been on and off since about 6pm Friday night #xplornet

@Xplornet can you please fix the internet issue just east of Red Deer in Red Deer County? It’s tough to do live classes without internet… Unless you want to chip in on the cell phone bill….

Hey @Xplornet you guys having tower issues in southern kings PEI??? My internet has been trash since the storm last weekend.

.@Xplornet hey, just upgraded to LTE service 3 days ago and now we have ZERO wifi...in Southern Ontario...
