I see the point you’re trying to make but using the word retarded in this context is not only dumb in itself but 
offense. Please be more respectful on this list. 

Thanks

I can't either, but the reality right now seems to be that 911 calls are
failing for anyone on a Rogers cellphone.

This is par for the course.  These people chose to deal with Rogers despite knowing the consequences.  It is like if 
you bought a Rogers Snowblower and it did not work.  That would mean that people who bought the Rogers Snowblower 
will not be using it to get rid of the snow that is preventing them from leaving their house.

Mutatis mutandis when Rogers is down things that are Rogers dependent will not work.

Some people are so retarded it is astonishing!

I have seen anecdotal reports that the mobile network is in a half broken
state that phones remain registered to, so a 911 call will attempt and
then fail.


This is unlike what would happen if you had a US/Canada cellphone with
battery power but no SIM card in it that would search for any available
network in RF range for a 911 call if needed.

       According to Cloudflare Radar
<https://radar.cloudflare.com/asn/812?date_filter=last_24_hours> , Rogers
BGP announcements spiked massively to levels 536,777% higher than normal
(343,601 vs 64 normally) just minutes before the outage. I would not be
surprised if this happened to be the culprit.

           In the early hours of the morning around 2-3am my modem
got hit with a configuration update that caused a DHCP release that
wasn't renewed for about two hours, after rollback the connection was
fine for 3 hours before this network wide outage.


           Maybe a failed night time update was attempted again
during office hours, I've heard daytime guys are still WFH and night
shift is in building.


           I expect we'll never get a real explanation. Rogers is
notorious for withholding any type of helpful or technical information.
