Impacted communities included Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray, Mayerthorpe, Barrhead, Red Deer, Greenview, Valleyview, Lac Ste. Anne County, Whitecourt, Fairview, and Yellowhead County.
The cause of the service disruption in the area is damage to Telus cables in Whitecourt by a third-party excavator.
The company has activated emergency roaming with a network partner to give customers access to 911 on their phones and to some wireless connection.
