Frequently asked questions about outages
If a major outage interrupts service for a large number of customers, we will post a notice on this page.
However, minor and isolated outages may occur in some areas even if no outages are shown on this page. To find out what’s happening in your area, contact Technical Support via chat or phone, or visit the forum.
Many things beyond our control can cause our network to fail, such as power outages and equipment breakdowns due to extreme temperatures, severe weather, or accidents.
Most outages are resolved the same day, within hours, depending on the severity of the incident. However, when there are significant network failures throughout the province, it can take over 24 hours.
An outage occurs when an incident damages wired equipment and the signal no longer reaches our customers’ homes properly. For example, cable services like Internet, TV, and Home Phone are most likely to be disrupted.
Check this page regularly for the status of our services.
