Mobile Internet Outage Now Half as Bad, But Still Wreaking Havoc
The ongoing mobile internet disaster that kick-started on Friday, June 6th, is still a thorn in Omsk's side, but it seems to be losing its bite. While the connection problems persist, their intensity appears to have lessened. It's been five days, and there's no sign of relief in sight.
As per downdetector, it's the Tele2 subscribers who seem to bear the brunt of this ordeal, with around 22 complaints streaming in hourly compared to about 50 yesterday. MTS users are also grappling with internet access issues, although the number of complaints has decreased, with still a considerable number - around 77 per hour.
It's important to highlight that this network debacle isn't just impacting regular Joe's. It's a punch in the gut for local businesses too, causing a noticeable surge in transportation costs.
Yesterday, some resilient Omsk residents reported the return of mobile internet for Tele2 subscribers. Earlier, Governor Vitaly Khotchenko claimed that the connectivity and mobile internet snags in Omsk region were due to security issues.
This outage has got businesses, especially those relying on mobile internet for operations, customer service, and communication, scrabbling for solutions. Issues with processing transactions, managing inventory, and maintaining customer relations are just the beginning of their woes. The transportation sector is also feeling the heat due to the lack of GPS navigation and communication between drivers and dispatchers.
The outage could potentially lead to traffic snarls due to missed real-time traffic updates and navigation, causing congestion and prolonged travel times. This might also impact emergency services and public transportation systems that depend on mobile communications for coordination.
Regrettably, there's a dearth of information regarding the specific origins of this disaster or any efforts towards resolution. In Russia, similar disruptions have been linked to various factors like infrastructure issues or security measures in the past.
