The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is warning phone and Internet customers of Téliphone Navigata Westel Communications (TNW) that many of them may be disconnected as of November 21, 2016 due to a commercial dispute between TNW and TELUS Communications Company.

Affected customers may wish to explore alternative arrangements with another service provider. They can shop around for service providers using the CRTC’s “Service Providers Near Me” tool.

The CRTC has ordered TNW to notify affected customers, including resellers of TNW’s services. Furthermore, the company must work diligently to ensure a smooth transition for its customers to their new service provider.
