State-owned Ogero, in charge of managing fixed telephone and internet services in Lebanon, explained on Wednesday that the “slowdown and access difficulties” seen in the country were due to a disruption on the Century-Link global internet network.
The disruption, which affected “a proportion of subscribers,” is attributed to a technical problem at external service provider Century Link Level 3, a major player in the global internet infrastructure, Ogero explained in a post on the X social network.
However, the company assured that “its teams are actively working to redirect global internet traffic to another service provider, in order to gradually restore access to all users.”
