All GT&T land line, cellphones and internet services have been affected by the disruption. The disruption was first discovered on Sunday morning. A number of other areas have also been affected including Mahdia in Region 8.

A GT&T Official told News Source that engineers were on the scene “doing their best” to remedy the situation.
