As of Sept 27 @ 8am Rogers in various areas DNS requests (so when you type in a website address) are timing out. So I can't stay connected at work or stay connected to Office 365, or even stay on instant messanger. Its affecting many people across Ontario.

Earlier this month it was reported by CBC that a company named Xona will be paid 230K by the CRTC to produce a report on the July 2022 outage.

Hi,

Thought I might post on lemmy about another major Internet outage from Rogers with next to no media coverage (Sept 25, 2023 starting at 2 pm EST). Now I hear if your a Rogers customer with a phone that receives texts then they sent something. But since July 2022 I have not seen any improvement on how they communicate issues.

Why is this a problem:

If you buy your internet from a re-seller we receive no notification of the issue or what might becausing it.
If I am working remote, I am give no information so I can't make a decision to drive into work because I don't know how serious the problem is.
Being with a re-seller ... you receive no compensation for when the service is down (in this case from 2 pm to now 12:38 am the service is still down.
If you have a neighbourhood outage, and your with a re-seller, well the Re-seller has to walk a tight rope with Rogers to get anyone to look at it. Issues drag on for months with no explaination why your service is dropping. Just one day it starts working. To a point where you expect to go down for atleast 1 hour every week.

That being said, if News outlets like CBC, CTV, CityTV are not talking about it or posting, Then we are off to downdetector.ca to see what people are guessing is the real problem.

Inviting my fellow GTA people to add their comments about this round of outages. Espcially since Rogers, Telus are buying up all the competition. Which really means even

Perhaps after a couple weeks away (for me) and a steady disengagement in the noise of lonely people trying to make friends I am glad peoples eyes are open to what they don't want to be. We are not a product!

I feel the majority of people want to have a civil discord. I am mindful that there are also allot of people walking around with pain in their hearts (and not honestly dealing with it). The result is a mindless distraction so we don't change ourselves. Even try to accept responsibility to the monsters we create. The public discord around social media (twitter \ Reddit) is good. Its a good look in the mirror.

And you know ... if we don't use it ... then it becomes unprofitable ... then bye bye. I'm not cheering. I'm talking about taking personal responsibility in creating the world we want to live in. Not let this carrot and stick mentality continue.

After watching a video and looking around it looks like I was in error. Pretty much I can be signed into lemmy.ca ... then change he view filter to show all communities and subscribe to technology community on ML. The subscribe button does not always update right away. But in my listing of lemmy.ca I see I am subscribed. Hope this helps someone else.

Good Afternoon My Fellow Canucks (Canadians) and Canadian Lovers Eh!

Like many of you, I have also left Reddit and plan to make my home here. I'm in York Region in Ontario and well have a distributed set of friends all over the place. Lots of love to my brothers and sisters in the surrounding Provinces.

As for me, well I tend to read about technology, play allot of board games, and seem to dabble in Linux land while helping people with techie issues. I'm currently trying to learn the board game "Earth" which at some point will teach at game night.

Hope you all have a great day!
