CityWest advisory notes of Smithers area incident that could impact on their services in the Northwest


An advisory listed at 3:30 this afternoon and  tucked away on their Maintenance  and Outages page, has CityWest advising customers of some potential outages this weekend as a third party infrastructure company does work on some damaged equipment in the Smithers area.



The notes to the CityWest page also note the following: 

There is a possibility of an outage to Internet, TV, and phone services. 
Wireless Internet shouldn't be affected.

CityWest outlines that the emergency repair work in the Bulkley Vally by the third party company is set for 1 AM on Saturday, which is when the potential  outages may take place. 

There is no indication as to how long they anticipate any outages may last.

Update: CityWest and The City of Prince Rupert added to the information on the pending outage, noting that it is likely to last up to 4 hours from 1 AM to 5AM.





Updates on the situation will be provided through the Maintenance and Outages page on the CityWest website.

  1. WHAT IS GOING ON? We were supposed to be getting a sea link to stop this from happening. Many communities other then Rupert are tied in. WHY ISN’T PRINCE RUPERT?

    1. It’s almost done. Be patient. Or, continue complaining about something you already feel entitled to despite it only recently being announced

    2. The complaint is the fact we are still not connected to the alternative supply of bandwidth. I am sure that was announced along time ago. The city should get a date it is finished.
