Unfortunately, Downdetector didn’t pick up on this outage at all, even though they have a page dedicated to Rogers services in the city:
Outage detection services which use social media sentiment to detect issues often miss smaller communities, as they don’t have the population needed for a critical mass of social media complaints.
