YESTERDAY’S interruption in cellphone and land-line services was the result of an unspecified “technical issue” according to BTC.
At around 1.15pm, services were severely affected or shut down altogether in many communities across the Bahamas.
BTC said New Providence, Paradise Island, Eleuthera, Grand Bahama, Bimini, Abaco, Long Island, San Salvador, Inagua, Rum Cay and Cat Island also experienced loss of Internet, data and wireless services between 1.35pm and 3.15pm.
“Some connectivity was restored by 2pm and remaining services slowly restored throughout the afternoon. “Customers experienced congestion on cell to toll calls until 5pm when normal service was resumed,” the company said in a statement.
BTC apologised for the inconvenience and assured its customers that everything possible was done to quickly restore service to all impacted areas.
