Internet and Telephone Service Restored in Northwest After Up to 8 Hours Down in Some Areas

Internet and phone access is back in the Northwest, after being down for up to 8 hours yesterday afternoon.

During that time, customers of Telus, Bell, and CityWest found themselves without internet, landline, and cellular phone service.

According to Telus, a downed tree in Topley is to blame for the outage, after taking out a number of fibre optice and telephone lines.
