Alfa restores internet service after short disruption

BEIRUT: Alfa Users reported a widespread disruption in the internet connectivity due a technical malfunction that the telecom operator later addressed. 

Users took to social media to complain with Alfa issuing a statement later in the day apologizing for the technical malfunction and confirming that all services impacted by today’s outage have been restored.

The telecommunications outages in Lebanon are not new and the trend is increasing as fuel shortages at switchboards caused cuts to mobile phone coverage several times this year.

 The national telecommunications company, Ogero sounded the alarm earlier in June, that internet coverage may be disrupted or even cut in some areas.
