According to CBC, Rogers has around 9 million mobile users and serves nearly 3 million people with cable and internet. In addition to hurting clients of Rogers’ mobile subsidiaries, Fido and Chatr, it also disrupted a variety of critical services across the country, including 911 calls, debit card transactions, ATMs, and government organizations such as Canada’s passport offices and Revenue Agency.
According to a graphic supplied by NetBlocks that shows real-time internet traffic data in Canada, Rogers began to restore service at approximately 12AM ET Saturday morning. Data from Cloudflare, a company that specializes in content delivery and DDoS mitigation, shows a similar pattern, with internet traffic picking up again about midnight and returning to near-normal levels.
