Telecom operator O2 faced hour-long outage

Telecommunications company O2 experienced an approximately hour-long outage this morning, affecting mobile and data services for some customers across the Czech Republic. By around 10:30 a.m., O2's technicians had restored the services, which were gradually coming back online, spokesperson Veronika Zachariášová told Czech Press Agency. The cause of the outage is still unknown. The issues began around 9:30 a.m., with O2's customer service line notifying affected customers. The company apologized for the disruption. Additionally, Vodafone customers also faced service interruptions earlier in the morning, reportedly due to a network equipment upgrade. O2 is the largest telecom provider in Czechia, serving nearly eight million mobile and fixed-line users.
