Latest news and stories about network restoration in Portugal for expats and residents.
Meo, Nos, and Vodafone will deduct from next month's bill the days that customers in the affected municipalities were unable to make calls or use the internet due to the passage of the Kristin depression, in accordance with the law. A week later, there are areas where network restoration has not yet been completed.
Restoration work continues in several localities across the country.
Anacom said today that the situation “remains complex” and that difficulties persist in restoring communications services in the regions affected by Storm Kristin, despite operators having deployed “thousands of technicians” to the field.
Vodafone Portugal said today that the restoration of its services in Leiria, one of the districts that suffered the most damage due to Storm Kristin, still faces difficulties because it depends on access to the affected infrastructure.
Teams from MEO, Vodafone and NOS have been working on site to restore services, but there is still severely damaged infrastructure that could delay the normalisation of services. The central region was worst affected, with Leiria reporting the most serious damage.
