Cell service and Internet has returned to eight communities after being out for over 9 hours today (Tuesday).
The outage was due to damage to a fibre line which impacted multiple providers.
According to Telus, a fire caused by a downed tree damaged several telephone poles and fibre cables.
This caused the intermittent outage of home phone, internet, TV and wireless services in communities from Burns Lake to Terrace.
Telus added that crews immediately attended the scene and worked in partnership with BC Hydro.
All services were restored around 10 p.m.
Communities affected include Burns Lake, Topley, Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers, Granisle, Hazelton and Prince George.
