“It is clearly visible that Swisscom has apparently neglected its back-up systems,” believes Beyeler. “I can only explain that because Swisscom saved too much.” Swisscom must now finally act and check its systems so that reserve systems can take over in the event of a malfunction.
The all-clear signal was given at 9.30 a.m .: Swisscom announced that the malfunction had been remedied. Affected customers should restart their device or briefly put it into flight mode. “According to current knowledge, the cause was a hardware defect,” Swisscom wrote on request.

According to Swisscom, mobile data communication was affected: “This morning, some customers experienced a temporary restriction in mobile data communication, which has already been remedied.” A glitch that amazes telecom expert Ralf Beyeler from the online comparison service Moneyland.

Customers shouldn’t notice anything
“As a rule, the systems are designed in such a way that all systems are present more than once,” explains Beyeler. If there is a failure, take over another system. Redundancy is the technical term here. “The customer actually doesn’t notice anything.” Actually! Because Beyeler says: “It is extremely rare for both systems to fail at the same time.” Not so at Swisscom.
