Customers were extremely angry with Rogers, responding to the tweet by saying:

WSJ reports Rogers’ customers first reported outages around 0400 ET. Police in Ottawa and Toronto warned residents of connection issues with the 9-1-1 emergency hotline.

There were also significant issues with Interac, a Canadian e-transfer service, which tweeted around 1035ET about “nationwide Rogers outages,” impacting debit-card transactions online and at checkout counters. 

A spokeswoman for Royal Bank of Canada told WSJ the widespread internet outage is affecting some of its lender’s services across the country. 

NetBlocks‘ real-time data confirmed a “major internet courage” across Canada where “national connectivity down to 75% of ordinary levels” this morning.

Another internet tacking website shows a significant loss in online traffic beginning in the early morning hours.

One of Canada’s two major internet companies has been completely down for hours, impacting countless businesses who can’t get online. Also, debit / credit machines are down nationwide as they are tied to the downed internet company. This is some real Diaboromon shit right now pic.twitter.com/fkIC156HNu

6 hours of half the country not having access to wireless/internet. If we don’t kneecap Telco monopoly in this country we’re screwed. Banks, gas stations and general infrastructure are toast across Canada today. Billions lost because Rogers and Bell hold us hostage. pic.twitter.com/PVZphNtAMe

Rogers is down, 50% of Canada’s telecommunications depends on them, so debit, atm and 911 in some areas are down, I’m on Telus but I would trade my internet data for access to my atm card, I just want some goddamn breakfast and smokes.
