Abstract: In this paper, we construct a regular space with a countable network (even the union of countably many separable metric subspaces) in which $ind$ and $dim$ do not coincide under the assumption of the continuum hypothesis (CH). This gives a consistent negative answer to a question of A.V. Arhangel'skii.
