Some 60,000 Rogers customers were without internet, TV, phone and other services across Scarborough, Markham, Barrie and Stouffville Wednesday night.
Several customers posted on social media about their connections being down beginning at about 7:30 p.m. ET.

In a statement to CBC News just before 11 p.m., the company said the disruption was caused by a transport fibre line damaged by a vehicle.

"We sincerely apologize to affected customers for the interruption."
The company hasn't provided an estimated time for when services will be restored.
