Singtel network down due to power disruptions

Customers islandwide were affected for over three hours.

Singtel’s mobile services were disrupted due to power-related issues that began at around 10 p.m. on 18 October, an announcement on the company’s social media site revealed.

“At 10:11 p.m. on 18 October, we detected issues with mobile voice and data services on our 3G/4G network,” Singtel apologised.

The outage lasted about three hours as customers experienced difficulties making calls and accessing the internet. Based on the 200 complaints commented on Singtel's Facebook page, areas that experienced service disruptions included Jurong, Ang Mo Kio, Woodlands and Potong Pasir.

Affected services were progressively restored starting 11:50 p.m. and as of 1:22 a.m. were completely restored, according to an update at 2 a.m. by the company.

However, service disruption complaints were still being reported as of 11:30 a.m..

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
