Hyderabad stares at ‘complete shutdown’ of internet, cable services

HYDERABAD: With the TGSPDCL firm on continuing its crackdown on low-hanging cables that has left thousands of homes and businesses without connectivity for over three weeks, a “complete shutdown” of internet and cable TV services across Hyderabad appears imminent.

Telangana Cable TV Internet and Telecom Service Providers Welfare Association president Middela Jitender expressed a similar view, saying that the possibility of a shutdown was very real, despite the fact that MSOs and ISPs were cooperating with the TGSPDCL by bunching wires but the task on hand was “humongous” and they needed time.
