The internet services breakdown across Canada has hit banks , police and many other sectors and it is considered the second major outage to hit one of the biggest networks in the last some 15 months.
Rogers company issued a statement on this disruption and said “We are currently experiencing an outage across our wireline and wireless networks and our technical teams are working hard to restore services as quickly as possible”.
The outage which appears quite bigger than the last year that majorly affected consumers, comes at the time when Rogers is trying to take over rival Shaw communications in a deal of 20 billion Canadian dollars.
