Kootenays outage?

ThrZeke — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 07:41:54 GMT

I'm located in the Kootenays. Currently both my wife's and my phone say "No Service". I checked the billing and it's not due until May 15th.

Is there an outage?

@AE_Collector

Sounds like Telus forgot to feed their Kootenay-based beaver-techs! 😂

Rogers suffered a massive outage recently, and it appears that Telus has followed suit. I suppose we'll hear something affecting Bell in the near future to top it all off.

Alas, I'm hoping that those affected have already got their service back since it's no longer reported on the Outage map! 🙂

Little pockets of outages happen all the time for all carriers. Rogers had a nation-wide outage. Not so all the time.

Fair statement! I was having fun with the situation, beaver and all. I agree it's not the same, but for those affected I'm sure it's equally frustrating. 🙂

Well we have for the most part forgotten about Shaws main exchange nerve centre in Calgary CATCHING ON FIRE 2-3-4 years ago and putting large numbers of their home phone and internet customers all around the country out of service.
