In a notice posted online, Rogers reported an internet, TV, and home phone interruption in parts of Guelph. The company said it was caused by an aerial fibre cut caused by a truck accident.
Although service was restored to most customers by 11:30 a.m., total restoration is expected to take up to 12 hours, Rogers said. The company did not say how many customers are impacted.
Police said no one was hurt in the crash.
