Internet disruptions persist in Belarus
Internet Chaos in Belarus Wreaks Havoc
Things took a turn for the worse in Belarus over the past day. Residents across several cities are reporting widespread internet connectivity problems, primarily with operator A1. Websites are failing to load, social media platforms and messengers are experiencing disruptions, causing a lot of headaches for the tech-dependent citizens.
It's as if the whole digital world came crashing down. The phone lines to A1's customer support are constantly busy or unreachable, and the online chat is just a mirage of wasted clicks. All we get from the virtual assistant is confirmation of technical issues with their internet and IPTV services, but that's it.
Imagine trying to finish work tasks, participate in online meetings, or even reach out to loved ones without a stable internet connection. It's a modern-day nightmare.
Amid the chaos, it's worth mentioning that the operators "Beltelecom" and "Business Network" announced planned technical works today in the Grodno region, and A1 in Minsk. Could they be the culprits behind the current internet access mess?
Fun fact, Belarus has had its fair share of internet-related problems. In 2025, the country suffered a seven-hour internet outage and even banned access to Belarusian websites from abroad. It's all part of a broader trend of internet restrictions and infrastructure development in the country[5]. But hey, on the bright side, the mobile subscriber base has grown, with high LTE coverage and expanding fixed broadband services. Just wish they could kick it into high gear and deploy 5G like their neighboring countries[5].
But enough about the past, let's focus on the root cause of today's chaos. It's probably a combination of regulatory restrictions and technical challenges. Maybe A1 needs to invest in their infrastructure and ease up a bit on the government restrictions. Or perhaps they should speed up the deployment of 5G technology. Whatever it is, they better fix it fast or face the wrath of frustrated citizens!
For up-to-the-minute A1 service status, you should check directly with the operator or local news sources in Belarus. And let's hope the internet situation improves soon or our social lives may be in real danger!

The internet disruptions in Belarus, affecting operator A1, have caused a massive tech-related crisis, disrupting work, communication, and general-news access for citizens. In light of planned technical works announced by operators Beltelecom, Business Network, and A1, it's uncertain whether they are contributing to the current internet access problem.
