Mississauga library branches offer internet as Rogers deals with massive outage

Many people woke up this morning to find they had no internet service in Mississauga as part of a Rogers outage across Canada.

As of noon on Friday (July 8), the issue was continuing.

@Rogers Why is there no internet in Mississauga? Are you aware of this and is Rogers working on this? When will service be restored?

Those in search of a cafe to work out of found they couldn’t even pay with debit because of the Rogers outage.

A sign in a Mississauga Starbucks proclaimed the coffee shope could only take cash because of the issues with debit machines.

“Dear Mississauga residents. Starbucks has a BIG A** SIGN THAT SAYS CASH ONLY. DUE TO NATIONWIDE OUTAGE FOR DEBIT MACHINES,” one person tweeted.
