– How many customers are we talking about?
– I can not answer that.
– Are you aware that Telia also has challenges outside Norway?

Technology expert: – Disturbing
Telia had problems with the landline Monday night this week, but reported Tuesday that the error was corrected.
– This is the second time Telia is down in a short time, and this is starting to get disturbing – to put it mildly, says city manager in the communications agency Coxit and technology expert Magnus Brøyn.
He is at a technology and HR conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, where, according to Brøyn, they also do not have a mobile network.

– It is clear that this is something that affects the basic strains, such as when Facebook had problems with the underlying network between the data centers. There is no reason to believe that this is connected, but Telia had problems more or less at the same time, he says and continues:
– Now it’s happening again. Not only in Norway, but also abroad. This shows that the problems are probably quite extensive. Because there is no automaticity in this type of downtime also affecting subscribers abroad.
However, Brøyn will not start speculating about what has happened.
– Is there one thing the last few days have taught us, is that there is no point in starting with the big conspiracy theories.
