Globe network outages due to damaged fiber

Been getting a number of emails/reports that Globe Telecom
users are having a hard time connecting to the network. The problem
seemed to have started since this morning and complaints are still
pouring in ’til now.



Globe Telecom posted this advisory several hours ago on their FB page:

ADVISORY: Globe Telecom experienced a service interruption
covering selected areas in Visayas and Mindanao due to a fiber cut. As a
result, subscribers may experience difficulty in sending text messages,
making calls or using mobile internet in these areas.
Globe assures its subscribers that service restoration is ongoing.
Subscribers will be informed as soon as service is back to normal.

Here’s a copy of the full media advisory:Globe Network Outage Media Advisory
Globe did not give an ETA when all systems will be fully
restored (though they expect it to be done this evening).


The damaged fiber was due to the recent typhoon Bebeng and some of it
were undersea so repairs are a little slow and tedious. Globe appeals
for a little patience and understanding as they continue with repairs
and restoration of services.
Will get more detailed information from Globe and post updates here. Update: Globe has restored network just a few moments ago.
