Rogers is unable to say when a massive outage causing widespread network issues to phone, internet, and debit payments across Canada will be restored.

The company released an updated statement around 11:30 a.m. on Friday saying they "sincerely apologize to our customers," but were not able to provide an estimate of when service would be back up and running.

The same shyt happened last April 2021
System update failure

Want to bet they failed to put any measures in place or learn anything at all and did the same thing again?

Oh and this goes to show you not to have all your services with one company.

Split up your internet, phone, cable

Banking? Split up those accounts, credit cards, mortgages, etc

It's eerie how Rogers hasn't explained WHY there are outages

Probably something serious? Some of the smaller Internet providers (that piggyback off Roger's infrastructure) are still able to get service.

So it's probably not a hardware issue.

They're incompetent. They probably don't know yet
