P.E.I. residents struggling with internet connection for second time in less than 2 weeks

Some Islanders spent Sunday struggling with their Internet connection for the second time in less than two weeks.

"Last night we had several shows we just couldn't watch. Buffering and shut the computers down. Thought that was the issue and this morning it's the same deal," said Bell Aliantcustomer Louise Myers.

• Bell, Telus phone service restored in P.E.I.

"The internet itself, you couldn't connect to different sites. If you did get on, it was just a lot of buffering," he said.

Myers was just one of several Bell Aliant customers dealing with connection issues.

Customers reported issues from Montague to west of Summerside.

"We had a network issue overnight that resulted in slow internet service for some customers in the Charlottetown area," wrote a Bell Aliant representative to CBC. "It was not a fibre cut so we were able to restore service earlier this morning."

This is the second time there has been a disruption in service from Bell Aliantsince Aug. 4.

Bell Aliantlandline and cell services went down after an outage they said was caused by "accidental damage to multiple fibre network links."
