Telecom Egypt says services restored after days of disruption

Telecom Egypt, the country’s largest internet provider, said on Tuesday its internet services had been fully restored after several days of disruption.

Earlier the company had said on its Facebook page that services had experienced a problem and would be restored “gradually” but did not provide further details. Reuters was unable to reach the company immediately for comment.

“There is currently no impact on internet traffic” for Telecom Egypt direct customers or those of its operators, it said, adding it had provided “alternative capacities” for all affected units in the country, without elaborating.

Users have complained that the disruption of the service lasted anywhere between four days to two weeks.
