Bell not working? Try this
Bell provides fibre internet, DSL and mobile service.
Find out whether Bell knows about an outage at your address
- Sign in to the MyBell app on mobile data. Known outages for your address are shown on the first screen.
- Look at the report chart on this page. A sudden jump in the last hour means other Bell customers are affected too.
- Ask a neighbour on Bell, or check a second device, to see whether the problem is only yours.
Restart your Bell Giga Hub the right way
- Unplug the power from your Bell Giga Hub. Leave the fibre box on the wall (ONT) plugged in unless its lights are off or red.
- Wait a full 60 seconds so the equipment drops its old connection.
- Plug it back in and give it up to 10 minutes. On DSL, wait for the "DSL" or "broadband" light to stay solid.
- Still no sync? Plug the modem straight into the main phone socket without extension leads or splitters.
- Open the MyBell app and run its connection test. It can reset the line from the provider's side, which a power cycle cannot.
No signal or no data on Bell
- Switch airplane mode on for 10 seconds and off again. This forces the phone to register with the network from scratch.
- Restart the phone. If it shows "SOS" or "Emergency calls only", the SIM is not being accepted by the network.
- Calls work but data does not? Open Settings, turn mobile data off and on, and check the APN matches the one in Bell's help pages.
- Try Wi-Fi calling if you have home internet. It keeps calls and texts working during a mast fault.
- Take the SIM out, wipe it and reseat it, or toggle the eSIM off and on in Settings.
Work out whether it is the internet or just your Wi-Fi
- Connect a laptop to the router with a network cable. If the cable works and Wi-Fi does not, the provider is fine and the router or its position is the problem.
- Test more than one device. One failing device points to that device.
- Turn off any VPN and try again.

Bell outage questions
Is Bell down right now?
The status at the top of this page is updated every few minutes from automated checks of Bell's systems and from visitor reports. Our checks reach Bell's website and sign-in servers, so a local line or mast fault in one neighbourhood shows up first in the report chart rather than in the checks.
How do I check for a Bell outage in my area?
Use the MyBell app, which shows faults for your own address or postcode. Then compare with the reports on this page to see whether other customers are affected.
Why is my Bell internet slow but not down?
Slow speeds with a working connection usually come from Wi-Fi, not the line. Test with a cable first. If the wired speed is also far below your plan, there may be a fault on the line that has not become a full outage yet, so report it.
What can I do if Bell will not credit an outage?
Ask Bell for a credit for the time you were without service. If you cannot settle it with them, the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS) handles complaints about Canadian providers free of charge.
How long do Bell outages usually last?
Most faults are cleared within a few hours. Damage to cables from storms or construction can take a day or more, because a crew has to repair the line by hand.
