  @xplore_ca, when will you guys restore the Internet service in Standoff? No service for almost 24 hours? I called support and left 3 VM, and no update so far.

  @PersonNotGroup @TheQuartering We got the same service Jeremy has (starlink) or we couldn't have done what he did. We found 52 acres WAAAAY up in the rockies, no cell coverage at all, but we needed internet of course. Xplornet was the only previous option, and not at all reliable.

  @BezirganMocha /2 I can't get internet other than Starlink. Even cell signal is limited to 2 bar LTE at best and often degrades to 3G. At another property in '98 promised DSL in 6 months by Bell. Today, only Xplornet satellite (which is **** and very expensive) or Starlink.

  @CBCNews Xplornet charges far too much. Please fix this.

  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. :/

  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!!!

  @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.

  @darrell88384848 @jayDouc3tt3 @BambinoJalapeno My only options for internet here are xplornet and Starlink , or hotspot my phone which would would require a cell booster because the cell signal is non existent.

  @Colin1Best @TownOfMiltonON @vankayak I hope you’re right Colin, but I haven’t seen anyone with plans to bring high speed service up First Line Nassagaweya north of 25 side road to Arkell road. I’m close to the Xplornet tower at 28 side road and even so, it’s hard to even do basic stuff at times.
