SaskTel had a major internet outage across the province. 

Spokesperson Michelle Englot says the problem lasted a couple of hours and
was repaired early in the evening. 

A DNS server failure, which is the company's main connection to the internet
was the reason for the crash as it malfunctioned for some reason
interrupting wireless and landline connections.  

Not very clear.  Must be more going on.
