AT (Formerly AirtelTigo) has remained resilient and only option for Ghanaians following reports of widespread internet disruptions affecting several countries in western and central Africa, including Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, and Niger, as of the morning of March 14.
The disruptions are believed to stem from a potential damage or cut to an undersea cable connecting to Cote d’Ivoire, though the exact cause is still under investigation. Telecommunication companies in the affected regions are diligently working to restore internet services, but the timeline for resolution remains uncertain.
The sudden internet outages have sparked concerns among users and businesses in the affected countries, highlighting the reliance on stable connectivity for various activities, including communication, commerce, and access to information.
As telecommunication companies scramble to identify and rectify the issue, residents and organizations are urged to exercise patience while awaiting the restoration of internet services. The disruptions serve as a reminder of the vulnerability of digital infrastructure to physical damage and the importance of robust contingency plans to mitigate such disruptions in the future.
