Rogers Gets Hit With Class Action Lawsuit Over 2021 Outage

Back in April 2021, Rogers had a massive outage. Not as big as the outage that they had a year later. But it was really big. Cell phones stopped working and Interac was down.

Fast forward to today and a class action lawsuit has been approved in a Quebec court that is related to this outage:

The Plaintiffs were ascribed the status of representative to act on behalf of all Class Members in Canada.  They allege in their action that the Class Members suffered damages as of result of the service interruption to the Rogers, Fido and Chatr networks which began on April 19, 2021.

Now Rogers threw Ericsson under the bus for this outage. But clearly this court didn’t buy that and here we are talking about it. Thus it will be interesting to see how Rogers responds to it. Will they defend themselves? Will they simply settle out of court to make this go away? This should be fun to see what route they go with this.
