    Internet down in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., after beaver chews through fibre cable

    "A beaver chewed through the fibre cable at multiple points, causing the internet to go down on Saturday at about 4 a.m., Telus says, affecting internet service to customers in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. The company anticipates service will be fully restored by end of day Sunday."

    "A beaver chewed through the fibre cable at multiple points..

    That's pretty funny actually.

    "Sauvé said that a photo from the site appeared to show the beavers using Telus materials to build their home. She said the image shows fibre marking tape, usually buried underground, on top of their dam."

    Perhaps they should have consulted with the beaver. Maybe he/she would have enjoyed watching a nature channel.
