<div dir="auto">I feel kind of weird sending an update that just says “yep, still out”, but it’s uncommon for a national wireless carrier to have a multi-hour outage, so: <br />

<br />

Yep, still out.<br />

<br />

Further coverage as we approach the *eleventh* hour:<br />

<br />

Since this is consumer wireless there are no NOC updates etc. and Rogers has not been forthcoming with details.<br />

<br />

(One side element I find interesting: A lot of reporting has mentioned that the outage is most prevalent in [list of major Canadian cities] “according to downdetector.com”, but since DownDetector reflects absolute # of user reports, I suspect that is only saying that major cities have more people in them.)<br />
