TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Bharti Airtel broadband services experienced a mega outage on Friday as millions of students and workers across the country, including Delhi and Mumbai, were left without Internet amid ongoing online classes and work meetings for several minutes before it started appearing back for some users, albeit slowly.
The company said in a statement that the disruption was caused by a technical glitch. “Our internet services were briefly disrupted this morning due to a technical glitch. The services have been fully restored,” a company spokesperson said.
“We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to our customers,” the spokesperson added. On the Internet outage detector platform Down detector, the map showed widespread outages across the country, including Metros, that started at around 11 a.m.
While 50 per cent users reported facing total blackout, 34 per cent had problems with mobile Internet and 16 per cent had no signal, according to Down detector. The company was yet to ascertain and reveal the cause of the mega outage.
