Rogers customers are experiencing widespread services outages Friday. Users have reported being unable to access the internet, make phone calls and or access cable television from regions across the country.

A massive Rogers outage on Friday is causing widespread network issues to phone, internet, and debit payments across Canada.

Users have been unable to access the internet, make phone calls and or access cable television from regions across the country, although a majority of outage reports are originating in southern Ontario.

The communications company confirmed the outages Friday morning in a tweet, stating they understand how "important it is for customers to stay connected."

"We are aware of issues currently affecting our networks and our teams are fully engaged to resolve the issue as soon as possible," the company said. "We will continue to keep you updated as we have more information to share."

The company did not release any information on what has caused its systems to go down, or when service will be restored. 

Meanwhile, multiple Ontario police departments made statements on the outages Friday morning, noting some impacted customers may have trouble connecting to their 911 call centres.

Metrolinx has also warned customers that transit tickets can't be purchased using debit or credit payments.
