The internet went down for almost 12 hours on October 27th, following the Budget announcement. The outage affected both Rogers and Fido customers in Canada, as well as Fido customers in the United States. Rogers released a statement saying that they were working to fix the issue, but did not provide an estimated time of repair. As a result of this outage, many people were unable to access any internet services or social media sites.

Rogers is one of Canada’s largest telecommunications companies and was founded in Toronto in 1925 by Ted Rogers. In 2013, Rogers merged with fellow Canadian telecom company Fido Solutions Inc., which was founded by Michael Potter and Edward Kobylt in 1995. The two companies have since been run under the same umbrella company known as Rogers Communications Inc., although they maintain separate branding.
