I always assume incompetence before malice, for Rogers, that goes triple. It is a shit network build on layers of shit.

It is owned by a crazy family in a perpetual feud that could have inspired Succession. https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/succession-actor-brian-...

Rogers and Bell executives are more interested in their ego than their networks and use their oligopoly money to buy sports teams: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/no-love-for-blue-jays...

Last time this happened, they blamed Ericsson, but let’s face facts, they aren’t competent: https://mobilesyrup.com/2021/04/20/nationwide-rogers-outage-...

Their cellular business used to be called Cantel 30 years ago and we called it Can’t Talk.

Their CIO is from Vodaphone. https://about.rogers.com/team_bios/jorge-fernandes/

They have no oversight because the CRTC executive are best friends with the big 3 telcos: https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/carriers/bell/crtc-chair-on-dr...

Interac (Debit) apparently has their primary and backup network services with Rogers. They need a new executive team ASAP.



I too think this is more likely to be a mistake, but incompetence also makes you easier to hack.
