The outage began some time early Friday morning, and as of 5 p.m. ET had not been fixed.
The company does not have an estimate when it will be fixed, said Kye Prigg, Rogers' senior vice-president of access networks and operations, on CBC's Power & Politics. "I wouldn't like to say whether it's going to be fully online today or not, but we are working very, very hard on making sure that we get everything running as soon as possible," he told host Catherine Cullen.
