TurkNet nationwide outage July 31 2026 internet service disruption Downdetector

On July 31, 2026, Turkey’s internet service provider TurkNet experienced a sudden, country‑wide outage that disrupted fixed broadband, the company’s mobile app, and its customer‑support channels. Thousands of users reported loss of connectivity, slow speeds or complete disconnection, and the incident was reflected in a sharp rise of reports on the outage‑tracking site Downdetector.

TurkNet confirmed the problem on its X account, describing it as an unexpected technical issue affecting its routing infrastructure. The firm said its technical teams were working to restore service and posted regular updates. By early afternoon the outage was declared resolved, with connectivity gradually returning across most regions; some users reported lingering speed reductions or partial access.

No detailed cause was disclosed, and TurkNet has not announced any compensation or timeline for a full post‑mortem. The incident highlighted the reliance of Turkish households and businesses on a single ISP for essential online services.
