The nerves are on edge: “Not a nice picture, especially today, dear UPC!” Kathy Riklin complains on the short message service Twitter of a “blackout, no Internet!”, As she continues. On Friday afternoon, she wanted to know whether this was already the cyber virus.

And the answer comes promptly from the telecommunications provider UPC: “I assure you, our technicians are doing their best to rectify the large-area problem in your area as quickly as possible.” In the tweet from UPC Switzerland it is also stated that one cannot guarantee constant and unrestricted availability of the services.

Indeed? Only recently, the telecommunications provider Sunrise-UPC assured a Blick request that it had enough capacity and that the Internet would be able to withstand. “Our network has enough capacity for data traffic, even at peak times,” said Sunrise UPC spokeswoman Séverine de Rougemont. “No restrictions whatsoever are to be expected when watching television via the UPC Giganetwork. This has already been shown in the past at numerous major events. “

It is initially unclear whether the disruption is limited to the Zurich metropolitan area, where Kathy Riklin lives. The Portal Allestoerungen.ch has around 30 reports and complaints about a power failure – that’s not a lot. But maybe just the tip of the iceberg?

–

Sunrise-UPC then reports to Blick with answers: “At the moment, there are no major disruptions or general failures known in the Zurich area.” But: “The only fault that has already been resolved was in 8001 Zurich and involved around 10 customers.” One of them was obviously Kathy Riklin.
