Widespread internet outage affecting Windsor-Essex

The Rogers cellular and internet networks were down in areas across Canada Friday morning, causing technical difficulties across the country. 

Wireless, cable and internet customers are affected. 

Some CBC News broadcasting has been impacted by the outage. 

CBC Windsor have heard reports of Interac financial services being down across the region, meaning businesses are only able to accept cash payments. 

The outages also appeared to be impacting Interac and wholesale re-sellers of Rogers services. TekSavvy tweeted from its online help account that its services were down and there is "no ETA" about when it might be restored. 

Some also may experience issues connecting with 911 services, police in Chatham-Kent warned on Twitter Friday morning. 

Anyone seeking emergency services should call from a landline or cell phone from another provider, said the police service. 

More to come.
