Rogers networks down in areas across Canada

0

The Rogers cellular and internet networks were down in areas across Canada Friday morning.

While the company had not issued any formal communication about the outages as of 8:00 a.m. ET, an online service tracker showed disruptions in locations nationwide.

The Toronto Police Service tweeted that Rogers customers in that city were having trouble connecting to 911.

“We are working to resolve these issues,” the force said.

The outages also appeared to be impacting Interac and wholesale re-sellers of Rogers services. TekSavvy tweeted from its online help account that its own services were down and there is “no ETA” about when it might be restored. 

Many social media users took to Twitter — using alternative internet connections — to express frustration that Rogers had not provided any information to customers. 

More to come.
