Thousands were without landline, internet and wireless phone services overnight amid a widespread telecommunications outage in northwestern B.C. Telus reported an interruption to landline and internet services in the north central Interior and Haida Gwaii on Saturday evening. She said service was restored early Sunday morning, but as many as 5,000 Telus customers were without landline phone service overnight. Wireless service was intermittent, she said, with some customers having access while others didn't. Sauvé said anyone without landline phone service or a working wireless phone would not have had access to 911 services during the outage.
