Finnish mobile operator Telia experienced widespread network disruptions on Sunday evening. Thousands of customers reported problems with calls and mobile data across Finland.
The outage began around 8:30 PM and affected Telia's 4G network nationally. A company spokesperson confirmed the issues were impacting users randomly throughout the country.
At its peak, over 6,000 disruption reports flooded online monitoring services. Telia acknowledged the problem in an official statement, noting that some calls and mobile data connections were operating unreliably.
Technical teams worked through the evening to resolve the connectivity problems. The company identified the cause as equipment failure within their mobile network infrastructure.
By 11 PM, Telia reported improvements following network adjustments. Emergency calls continued functioning normally throughout the disruption, according to company officials.
Smaller networks also reported minor disruptions during the same period, though with significantly fewer user reports. This suggests the issue may have affected multiple providers to varying degrees.
Network reliability remains crucial as Finland's population increasingly depends on mobile connectivity for daily communication and emergency services. The scale of this disruption highlights how quickly technical issues can impact thousands of users simultaneously.
