ok, so an anonymous source tells me that the problem with Rogers phones (and 7-11 Speakout and Fido) is that the main site at the highliner wasn’t prepared for this weather we’re having.  The melting snow caused some damage to equipment, and someone is on the way to fix it.  Since the Rogers towers all connect through the highliner, none of them are working.

Thanks of the update I just got a Speakout phone and I really like it…
Glad someone is on the way to fix the site

Power in GP went off for a couple hours as well. 

Its a conspiracy against HTMF’ers!

I wonder when the service will be up and running again…

I feel a little lost without my cell…

Any hear anything re: Rogers/ Speak Out phone service?

I notice it’s still not working…

[system]

Yeah, still not working. Give them a call and complain, and they’ll add some money to your account.

Even though the service is once again restored, may I phone them and complain, to get some credit?, regardless of the service being restored!?!?!?

I’ve never had any problems getting help and credit from Citywest when my service wasn’t working – either Cellular or Internet.

In fact, I remember there was a period a few years ago when Citytel had a few internet outages, and gave everyone a credit on their bills without even being asked.
