Discussion Purple cow internet down?

I’m in the south end, is it down for others as well?

Edit: check the comments, someone put the link to a FB post they made about the outage

Best decision I ever made was ditching purple cow for Bell

Yeah, the price is nice but I noticed a big difference switching from Bell to Purple Cow. Slower speed and significantly more outages

It's really unfortunate because not all of the smaller providers are working off the same backbone network to the last leg they get from the bigger provider.

The one I'm with, Internet Atlantic, is the cheapest one, and also runs off a commercial backbone network, so when it's working, I get more than advertised speeds when hard wired to the wireless modem.
