A spokesperson for Bell MTS has identified what caused a large Internet outage in Mitchell.

Customers in that community lost their connection already Tuesday evening as the result of cable damage. 

According to Bell MTS, many customers are now back online. Crews are working as quickly as possible to fully restore services in that area.

No further explanation has been given.
