What is a residential service interruption?

A residential service interruption is any disruption to the regular functions of your internet, TV or home phone service. Sometimes only a part of the service is temporarily affected, such as access to a specific TV channel or an aspect of your experience, like internet speed or TV picture quality. In the most extreme cases, the service may not be available at all for a period of time.

A service interruption can be planned or unplanned. To learn more about service interruptions that happen when the network is being upgraded or maintained, visit FAQs about Planned Network Maintenance.

What causes unplanned service interruptions?

Service interruptions can have many different root causes, like technical or equipment issues, fibre cuts, power outages, construction, severe weather, and network congestion due to emergencies or extreme circumstances.

How long do service interruptions typically last?

Even when a service interruption is unplanned, our teams have plans in place to address and resolve issues quickly. The time to restore services varies depending on the nature and scope of the interruption. In some instances, such as a power outage impacting Rogers equipment, we may simply have to wait for power in the area to be restored.
