Rogers is still working to get their system back up online as the network has been crippled since dawn this morning.
Millions are unable to activate their devices. The outage map shows widespread interruptions, but especially in eastern and central Canada.
Not only are internet, cell, cable, phone, and alarm monitoring services affected, but people may also be unable to access debit and credit. Many businesses are only able to accept cash.
Service NL says due to the outage Motor Registration will not be able to process Interac transactions.
Meanwhile, City of St. John’s staff have been successfully accepting credit card payments today. Debit is not able to be processed for some customers depending on their bank.
Access St. John’s is not available by 311 or 754-CITY. To report an issue, email access@stjohns.ca, or use the 311 St. John’s app. Front counter service is available at City Hall until 4 p.m. today.
Rogers says they are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, but have not given any timelines on restoration. They did not specify the reason for the outage.
