Megathread: Public Mobile Data Issues

[DR_PM]

Hi Community, 

We are aware that some of our customers have been experiencing data-related issues. Our teams are actively investigating intermittent data issues affecting some customers.

If you are having problems connecting to your mobile data services, try one of the following steps to restore data:

• Toggle Airplane mode ON, wait 30 seconds, and switch it back off
• Restart your device

In many cases, these steps will restore your connection temporarily at least. Until the issue is resolved, you may need to repeat them periodically.

Rest assured, our internal team is working to get this resolved as soon as possible and we’ll share any updates when we have them here.

Update 1 (4:14pm ET, May 27): Thank you for providing your examples, our network team is continuing to work towards a resolution. We don't require any further examples, and will provide all new updates in this post, as soon as they become available.

Data is not working on any phones at home from yesterday. Located in Courtice, Ontario

[GEOFF007]

Me too.

And funny that the person who responded to my ticket was unaware and very defensive.

Also I had to state the issue 3 times in the ticket. Then first question from the agent is " what is the issue" lol

[Pedromtzparra]

Issues since the weekend on and off, poor connection. Hammonds plains Nova Scotia, have restarted the phone a couple of times, but issue persists.

[MaryWalke]

At least the past week. Lakefield, Ontario. Persistent.

Issue noticed May 27,2026 around 12:30pm. Location Woodstock Ontario. No data available restarting and airplane mode did not work. I am still able to make phone calls and SMS. Issue is Persistent. 

[Jsteele1984]

Removed SIM while phone on, reseated SIM and reset network settings. Data is back.

[jenno]

This has been happening to myself and my 2 children all day today; we live in Woodstock. It resolves intermittently when you restart or toggle airplane mode on/off but doesn’t resolve consistently. 

[Lamjgood]

Has been happening since Monday.  I have restarted my phone numerous times. Prince Edward Island

[Hannakin]

My data issues have been occurring since Monday, when I restart my phone the data will work for a few minutes and then stop connecting. I'm located in the Guelph area but have had the same problems all the way from Ottawa.

[Bethiez]

Ontario, Canada. It began about 2 months ago. At that time it was intermittent but now it is all the time. We can't even use use it to make phone calls. It states that we have no network. 

[Dutka]

The time the issue: May 27th, 2026 around 1 PM.  Location: Wakaw, Saskatchewan/Saskatoon, SK.  The issue is persistent: cannot use data, only phone calls.

[TK421]

Started Monday, still happening

Fredericton, NB 

Mostly persistent.  Occasional (5-10 min) service after restarting phone.

[Keelyn]

Since Monday morning until now, persistent.

London, Ontario 

[Red40]

May 23, 2026 (Saturday) morning

one block radius around the cell site at 250 Laurelwood Dr, Waterloo ON

Persistent. No data connection and can't make calls anywhere near that cell site.

[MaggieN]

Onaping (Greater Sudbury Area)

I noticed late last week with intermittent no cell service to no service this am with very short intervals of full and tapering off to nothing just as fast.

After turning off phone for 5 min as suggested, it's hanging one to one bar with short surges to full service.

[DeetStreet]

Issue began Monday May 25th. initially was once per day, yesterday was 3 times, today it’s been constant and persistent. Rebooting phone or toggling airplane mode on/off temporarily solves the problem. But it quickly returns. 
location: PEI

This has been extremely frustrating!  Started a few days ago.  I have reset network settings, etc.   I am in the Niagara region.  Data works anywhere from seemingly 2 minutes to an hour when I have to keep restarting the phone or turning airplane mode on and off.

[Brendan-D]

Halifax, not sure when it started. No data connection i.e. connected service icon not showing in status bar. Used to say “LTE” when connected (older iphone). Have tried resetting network, power cycling, turning cellular on/off. Nothing works. No data at all.

[DuaneDavis]

Restarted,  didn't fix.

[ColinGS]

Monday morning, data doesn’t work anywhere. I go airplane mode then toggle off and works for all of 3 seconds then cuts out again. Says I have 2 bars but doesn’t connect to anything and safari says no internet connection. Have restarted and pulled SIM card, reset my network settings. Nothing seems to work. Definitely on Public mobiles end not our phones….

[Jsvp]

No data on my phone or my wife phone for the last two days.  Rebooting the phone gives us access data for a few minutes then it's gone again.  Airplane mode on/off has no effect.  

[Arctic_Angel]

Noticed it on Monday morning.

Fredericton, NB

Persistent. Tried everything and even tried other methods of messing with radio settings in my phone. I can only get it to work for a little while before it dies the second I move around. Problem persists even when trying the sim card in a different phone.

[DuaneDavis]

Sorry that should say reseated the sim card

Problem is persistent.
