Beirut, October 14, 2016: In an official statement, touch clarifies that several outages on Ogero’s Internet cables are affecting the speed and quality of the supplied internet connectivity. The company emphasizes that relevant teams from Ogero are working on repairing these issues with the least possible delay.

 

The disruptions in the internet connectivity, that are unfortunately taking place successively these days, as announced by Ogero, are due to:
