Cable theft disrupts service for Bell Aliant customers

Bell Aliant has reported that some customers in Newcastle, Woodstock, and Grand Falls are experiencing outages in TV and internet service. This is due to a recent cable theft in Fredericton. The company announced on social media that crews are currently working to resolve the issue. They expect services to be restored later today. This incident mirrors a previous theft last November in Miramichi, where stolen copper and fiber optic cables cut off internet and phone services for residents there. Bell Aliant is urging affected customers to be patient while they work to fix the problem.
