Re: [Outages] Outage Report Cable/DSL 09/27 Morning update

I thought RF Signal issues would affect rogers as well as TSI???

My parents are on rogers cable in Greely and for sure have had no issues at all?!?

Teksavvy outage reports are not nearly geographically isolated enough to make any use of. This outage listing represents an area that covers 50,000-100,000 accounts, but there are likely fewer than 1,000 actual account outages.

This is why I always ask for first three characters of postal code. I don't know why Teksavvy doesn't post that info themselves, it would certainly look better on them, and help their customers more. Maybe Rogers won't let them....

no doubt but there have been many mentions of the greely and manotick area's south of Ottawa. Combined population is probably .... 5000.

Almost certainly all served from one or two heads.

Kind of depends on your definition of a head end, I think. More importantly though, it could easily be 3+ nodes, and it would probably be a node level problem.

That said, it would be very interesting to find proof of different service levels for TPIA vs. Rogers customers. For example, there were hints of Scarborough node congestion issues a year ago that seemed to be TPIA specific... Never proven, I don't think.
