Bell is looking for answers after its subsea fibre-optic cable connecting western Newfoundland to Nova Scotia was severed for the second time in the space of a year.

The telecommunications cable was most recently cut on Dec. 24, said David Joice, the company’s networks director. That’s almost a year after the first incident on Jan. 4, 2024.
