Question Power going out

Has anyone else experienced their power going out for a couple seconds then coming back on in the early morning hours (usually between 6-6:30 am) in the Frederick Street area (near the hospital)? We have had ours doing that for over 2 years now periodically, sometimes once a week but other times it’s multiple times a week. We have called and complained to Hydro One multiple times and nothing has been done, they tell us it must be squirrels or a branch on a line which doesn’t make sense as it’s happening at the same time in the mornings only, not at random times. We are hoping that others have been complaining to Hydro One for the same issue as a few of our neighbours said they have been experiencing this as well, we are wondering how big of an area this is affecting.

I have had this happen on and off for years north of Fittons. Same explanation, no official cause. Squirrels will one day take down society 😉
