A faculty Bell circuit caused a network outage for Sioux Lookout from 5:30AM Saturday until 1:01AM Sunday. Everyone in Sioux Lookout and in the thirty satellite served communities could access K-Net but were unable to get to other locations on the internet. All other K-Net users from other points on the internet were unable access the servers located in Sioux Lookout.
K-Net's technical team spent the day in constant contact with Bell Canada staff trying to locate the problem. Saturday evening, a Bell technician was dispatched from Fort Frances or Dryden to come to Sioux Lookout to change some equipment.
