SFR network outage: telecom operator affected by 'technical glitch'; anticipates service restoration by evening hours.
Pfft, SFR's network went kaput last Monday, June 16th! Now, don't get your panties in a bunch, but the clueless company announced a "technical glitch" had gripped their network. While they didn't spill the beans on the actual root cause, they mentioned their tech wizards performed several synchronized operations on some core network equipment to fix the mess[2][3][4]. By the afternoon, they managed to get some services up and running, but they were still hopin' to get all customers back online by evening.
Now, if you head on over to DownDetector (no, not the cartoon character, the website), you'll see that folks started logging issues with SFR around 11 AM (Paris time), and the whining reached a crescendo around lunchtime[6]. By early afternoon, there were around 10,900 complaints about the craptastic service[6].
So yeah, if you were trying to reach someone in France last Monday, chances are your messages, calls, or mobile data were as reliable as a tomato stuck in a wet sock![4][5] Luckily, SFR claimed that everything was hunky-dory again by the end of the day[3][4]. Lovely.
In the midst of the network outage, some individuals took to social media to share their frustrations, demonstrating the impact of technology on modern communication. Subsequently, as the number of complaints rose on DownDetector, it became apparent that this technology-related issue was indeed widespread.
