Rogers Sportsnet+ suffered major streaming issues Tuesday night during Game 4 of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Blue Jays fans were pretty fired for game four of the World Series on Wednesday evening especially after Vladimir Guerrero Jr's two-run blast off of Shohei Ohtani in the third inning.
However, somewhere around the fifth inning all that enthusiasm quickly changed to anger when Sportsnet+ customers feed went dark.
When the Sportsnet stream suddenly stopped working, it left many fans without a reliable way to watch the game, or at least requiring them to frantically find a new stream.
Now customers of Sportsnet were fired up for a whole other reason.
Outraged Blue Jays fans take to social media to vent frustrations over Sportsnet+ outage during World Series
Four different devices. Signed in and out of all. Not one works. Going on 20 minutes now. What am I paying for, if not this moment?
The reaction wasn't exactly positive, with many fans also referring to the recent 30 per cent price hike this summer of the streaming service.
So the Sportsnet app crashes out for everyone during the Blue Jays biggest inning. This after they raised their prices while offering nothing new of value and having a complete hold on MLB rights
Rogers Communications, which owns the team's primary broadcaster in Sportsnet, has also been the Blue Jays' owner since 2004.
Rogers securing a monopoly then insisting we pay an extra 30% for Sportsnet only to cut out during the World Series. Great stuff everyone!
«We are aware that certain Sportsnet+ customers are currently experiencing an issue streaming content,» a note on Sportsnet's website read, adding a link for fans to watch Game.
We're never paying for Sportsnet ever again. The apps been buggy and flaky all series and has gone completely dead at the WORST MOMENT.
A Sportsnet spokesperson described the issue as «brief» and «resolved». No reason was given for the outage.
