Xplornet Outage in Parham, Ontario

@Xplornet @SucksXplornet I don’t know how anyone is expected to do google meets for school when your internet is such ****... my kid can’t hear his teacher because the internet is glitching..

@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

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/

@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.

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/

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.

@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.

@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.

@MaloneOCSB Currently in the same boat :/ I've been working from home for most of this pandemic, and we reached 90% today and it's only the 18th. We'll be maxed out by the end of the week and will be out of luck until February. Xplornet Satellite is our only option and it's horrible.

@Xplornet instead of posting this garbage that no one cares about why don't you post about your infrastructure considering half of it is oversold probably more than half knowing you guys it would be nice to know whether you're upgrading **** that should have been upgraded several years ago

@Xplornet With help from tech support and one of your installers, we resolved the issue today..thank you

@Xplornet Thanks for that. However, I’m currently with your company and I’m looking to switch. Your service is very poor and I’m being told limited sight line to satellite for LTE, which isn’t true. You slow our usage down and at best, our DL speed is awful. So, what’s the solution?

@Xplornet If he records his playing on an old wax cylinder, puts it on a train to BC, I'm betting people in BC could play the wax cylinder before xplornet's crap internet would be able to load it online.

@CBCOntarioToday Southeastern Ontario is suffering too. Xplornet is garbage, and internet has screeched to a halt many days so far in 2021. I live near Sydenham and internet w/350Mbps downloads is available less than 200m away, yet I’m told I can’t get the same where I am 😡

County council has agreed to author a letter of support on behalf of Xplornet for their application under the federal UBF program to develop broadband infrastructure in various areas of the County.

@Xplornet I appreciate the reply but my husband has been on the phone with them every week with the same problem.

@Xplornet I thought your service couldn't get any worse, but it has. Now I am literally forced to build my own cell tower, I don't care if there are laws preventing me from doing it, it's already done. You're about to lose 300+ customers in my area. SO **** YOU!

@Xplornet Why is explorenet signal always bad in midnight? Is it a scheduled downsizing?
