Bell’s support page also appeared to be down as of 9:45 a.m. eastern, with a single message being given: “The service is unavailable.”
According to DownDetector, multiple other internet service providers also had reports of smaller outages including Rogers, Telus, Cogeco, Eastlink and Virgin Mobile, with none surpassing 7,000 reports compared to the more than 100,000 seen by Bell.
Global News has reached out to Bell Canada to inquire if it is investigating, how many people have been impacted and if there is a potential restoration time.
“Some customers in Ontario and Quebec may be experiencing an Internet service interruption. We are working to restore service as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience,” the company wrote in a statement.
