9 Memes About The Rogers Outage In Canada That Are So Relatable It Hurts (PHOTOS)
Telus is looking SO GOOD today.
People gather outside a Starbucks to use Wi-Fi. Right: Rogers building in Toronto.
Remember when we all thought a picture of Kim Kardashian broke the internet? Well, today, Rogers' service actually did.
Canada is facing countrywide outages, and so many Rogers customers have been going without Wi-Fi or reliable cell service for hours.
While this definitely isn't convenient, with Ontario police even warning residents of the difficulty in reaching 911, some funny memes have been forged from the fires of this debacle.
Starbucks became a service provider

It's not unusual to see a big lineup at Starbucks, but thanks to the Rogers outage, it turned into a watering hole for remote workers and anyone in desperate need of Wi-Fi.
This Twitter user snapped some pics of a busy Starbucks filled with people on their laptops and mobile devices, writing, "In Canada today, Starbucks takes Rogers' spot on list of biggest internet service providers."

Another Twitter user poked fun at Rogers, saying even the internet provider probably had to visit their local Starbucks to send out its apology tweet. "ROGERS: 'QUICK! Someone run down to Starbucks and send this!'"
