The outage of internet and cell phone service led the Scarborough Health Network to bring in all on-call physicians and staff to physically come into the hospital until the disruption is resolved.
The hashtag #internetdown was trending Friday morning with many Canadians expressing frustration over the lack of telecommunication options.
