According to

More than 130,000 customers experienced difficulties with Bell’s services beginning shortly after 9 a.m. on Wednesday. The outages primarily affected landline internet, WiFi connectivity, mobile data, and resulted in complete service disruptions.
From GTA to Montreal, the digital quiet was overwhelmingly loud.
Angered customers inundated social media platforms, with someone tweeting, “Am I the only one…or is Bell Internet down?”
Another exclaimed, “Could this be due to a Bell service disruption? My connection has vanished in the Scarborough region.”
Some even joked about not having to work this morning.
Thanks, Bell Canada, for causing a statewide disruption. Your lack of efficiency allowed me to skip meetings this morning.
Someone remarked sarcastically, “Great timing for a Bell internet outage—right during our working hours.”
The disruption didn’t merely affect Netflix streaming and daily video conferences; it also had repercussions for crucial services. According to
