Disruption of the network has been acknowledged, yet details remain unclear.
Telecommunications Disruption Affects German Towns Around Lake Constance
A widespread telecommunications disruption has been reported in the German towns of Tettnang, Meckenbeuren, Eriskirch, Langenargen, Kressbronn, and Friedrichshafen. The disruption, caused by damages to Telekom's cables due to third-party deep construction work, has been ongoing for an undetermined period.
According to reports by bodensee.it, an IT service provider in the region, the disruption has affected various entities, including businesses in Tettnang and Meckenbeuren, which are experiencing difficulties in reaching the public via WhatsApp or Facebook. The Meckenbeuren town hall's phone unavailability continues due to the technical issue, while emails can still be received and sent from the town hall.
Telekom has apologized for any inconvenience caused by the disruption, but the specific timeframe for resolving the issue remains uncertain due to the challenging local conditions. Initially, Telekom estimated the disruption would be resolved by 8:45 PM, but this was later changed to "unknown".
Repair teams have been on site since yesterday, working diligently to restore the damaged cables. The local news outlet SZ is monitoring the situation for updates.
Given the lack of information in recent publicly available sources, checking local news outlets or municipal announcements in the Bodensee (Lake Constance) region of Germany might provide more updated and localized information.
The telecommunications disruption, affecting businesses in Tettnang and Meckenbeuren, is not just limited to general-news headlines but is also impacting their ability to reach the public via WhatsApp or Facebook. The Region around Lake Constance is looking to local news outlets like SZ for updates on the progress of repairing the damaged cables, which are a crucial part of the technology infrastructure in this area.
