Some clients of Rogers, one of Canada’s biggest telecommunications firms, are unable to use ATMs or call 911 because of widespread significant outages to its cellphone, internet, and cable services.
The business announced Friday afternoon that it was making headway on resuming its services.
Rogers acknowledged this in a late-afternoon message on its website “the effects of our outage on your life,” adding that “every technical partner and resource is fully deployed to address the issue.” We will let you know as soon as we are aware of the precise time when the Networks will be fully functional. We are presently concentrated on finding a solution.”
The business also said that it will give customers a credit for the interruption.
According to Statista, there will be 11.3 million wireless subscribers using Rogers’ services across Canada in 2021.
According to data from internet watchdog group NetBlocks, a fourth of Canada’s internet traffic was down on Friday.
According to a tweet from Toronto Police Operations, certain Rogers cellular users in Toronto were experiencing connectivity issues with 911.
Although some Rogers cellular customers might experience connectivity issues, 911 is still “completely operational,” according to Toronto Police.
The CBC reports that the outage also affects ATMs and other banking services.
