Airtel users across India faced a brief outage on Friday due to a technical glitch, the telecom operator has said. While the problem was fixed shortly after it was reported, people took to social media to complain about the issue. As per reports, the issue impacted both broadband and cellular users all across India.

This comes after people were unhappy with all Meta Inc apps, such as Facebook and Instagram, being down recently due to a global outage. Airtel outage led to a flurry of memes, with people complained about patchy cellular and mobile data connectivity.

With hashtag #AirtelDown, users listed multiple problems related to company’s mobile internet service, Airtel Thanks app, and also Airtel broadband services, saying all have also stopped working.
