Rogers reports that an attempted copper theft is to blame for an internet service outage affecting customers in Calgary. The disruption occurs early in the morning and is linked to work at or near Rogers infrastructure rather than to a broader network failure.
Rogers says the interruption begins just before 3 a.m. The company describes the incident as part of a growing pattern of vandalism and attempted theft, particularly of copper materials, that can damage service equipment. The Calgary Herald also places the outage within a wider national trend in which copper theft attempts have contributed to both internet and power outages in different locations.
While both sources agree on the cause being attempted copper theft and the connection to broader theft-related disruptions, they frame it differently: one focuses on the immediate Calgary impact and timing, while the other emphasizes the broader trend of similar incidents across Canada.
