Last weekend, the Toronto area 911 system failed, and an electrical fire in a switching station caused a major disruption in service, including bank services and Internet providers. Yesterday's problem, however, was caused by a Y2K upgrade. Bell Canada was transferring "7,500 Toronto PrimeLine customers were being transferred to a new Y2K-ready system. It operated for only three hours before crashing at about 10 a.m. local time. The problem lasted two hours." Customers were then transferred back to the old system.
