I ripped this from google news.
CUSTOMERS WHO USE PHONE SERVICE PROVIDERS OTHER THAN TELUS MAY BE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PHONES THIS AFTERNOON.
A FIBER-OPTIC CABLE IN WINNIPEG THAT BELONGS TO THE COMPANY "ALLSTREAM" WAS CUT TODAY, KNOCKING OUT LONG DISTANCE AND SOME LOCAL SERVICE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
ALTERNATE PHONE PROVIDERS LIKE SHAW SAY THAT THEY ARE AFFECTED, AS THEY USE THE ALLSTREAM INFRASTRUCTURE.
THIS IS HAVING AN IMPACT IN VICTORIA WITH SEVERAL CALLERS TO CFAX SAYING THEY ARE HAVING PHONE TROUBLE.
VICTORIA TAXI HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE CALLS FOR MOST OF THE AFTERNOON.
IN A PREPARED STATEMENT, ALLSTREAM SAYS THEIR CREWS IN MANITOBA ARE WORKING ON THE PROBLEM.
**edit
Looks like Cfax who originally posted the article has edited it to take any mention of Shaw out of it
