According to 660 News, Rogers confirmed they were having outages also. But it is clear that Shaw had the lions' share of problems, and I'd guess Rogers' issues resulted from piggybacking on Shaw's infrastructure.

As far as the 2PM change goes, given how many redundancies Shaw *should* have in place, they probably thought this would have been a minor change. The problem here won't be the upgrade itself, but what happened to prevent failover systems from engaging.
