Shaw Internet Connectivity Issue

[armae]

Is anyone else in Taradale or Saddleridge having an intermittent internet connection issue? My connection has been acting up since yesterday.

I had total loss of service for part of the evening yesterday. I'm in temple just south of you. I phoned and they said there was a problem in my area (temple) and that they were working to resolve it.

i had no service during the afternoon prolly at like 1 pm till 5 pm and im just south of you too. im up in coral springs...

I had no service today from bout 1 to 5... I'm in Edgemont.

Pretty crazy, phoned at 1:15, said that the service is just going to be down for 3 times until 6:00 for about 20 minutes each, internet was down the entire time though, called at 4 to wonder wtf was going on and they said it will be up at 5. Right at 5, on the dot, internet came back up, surprised they estimated it so well.

I just called Shaw. The tech insisted that the issue is within my home connection because nobody else in my area have called them about intermittent internet connectivity. So, they'll be sending a tech to troubleshoot my home connections. I'm pretty sure it's not my home connection but if they want to waste their time, then they can...

Edgemont has been out for about 2hrs

I'm downtown, had an outage for about 30 min tonight from 9-9:30pm roughly.

A couple weekends ago I had a 2-3 hour outage, and Shaw said it was some issue with a damaged cable or something, and they had dispatched techs out to fix it. It was their opening recording before you could even talk to a human, so it was clearly a widespread issue. Extremely minor though, and I'm back to normal.

Well it's not working for me, and my cousin who lives a block away.

I am on the Island and our internet has been down for about 90 minutes now. Can't get through on 310-SHAW or the local support line in Nanaimo. Weird.

Hi there sorry for the disruption, we are currently experiencing a major outage.
Bobby #9454 (22:18:07):
I should say we will be back up and running within 24 hours.

FaceTheDream(22:18:34):
Out of curiousity what was the cause of the issue? are you allowed to tell me?

Bobby #9454 (22:18:50):
If I knew yes
Bobby #9454 (22:19:04):
They say "unknown" which means something is physically wrong that was not intended by us
Bobby #9454 (22:19:21):
car accident, power line down, transformer crashed into or overloaded. that type of thing
Bobby #9454 (22:19:36):
if it was planned, we would know and have that information for you in that event

In Dalhousie, been down since late last night. Called shaw this morning - 1hr wait times to talk to someone so looks like a lot of people are having trouble.

Hey guys,
sorry I missed this thread - we had an Internet outage yesterday due to hardware failure. Our vendor came in to repair it and all services should be up and running now.

If it's not working, do a quick powercycle of your modem. If you're still having problems, fire me a PM and I'll get our team to help you out.

Thanks,
John
