Rogers network outage shows need for reliability

Last Friday’s network disruption at Rogers Communications affected many businesses who relied on the service for financial transactions or other communication needs.

Details are still emerging about what caused the outage and Rogers has so far promised to make sure the issue doesn’t happen again and credit customers for five-days of service.

The disruption prompted the federal government to call on all communications companies to create a plan to mitigate the impact of any future outages.
