Rogers works in areas across Canada

Rogers’ cellular and Internet networks were down in areas across Canada Friday morning.

Although the company had not issued an official announcement about the outages as of 8:00 a.m. ET, an online service tracker showed outages at locations across the country.

The Toronto Police Service tweeted that Rogers’ customers in that city were having trouble contacting 911.

“We are working to resolve these issues,” the force said.

The outages also appear to be affecting Interac and wholesale resellers of Rogers services. TekSavvy tweeted from its online help account that its own services were down and that there was no “ETA” on when it might be restored.

Many social media users took to Twitter – using alternative internet links – to express their frustration that Rogers had not provided any information to customers.

There is more.
