  2. Funny to learn about it on the news while living in Spain

  4. I’m going to out on a limb here and say that Spain basically haven’t no geo-political opponents in over 100 years, has self imposed – rightly – Russia as a geo-political opponent. However their total lack of security because of their lack of series geo-politlcal opponents is basically openly them as a backdoor to simple Russian take downs.

    Spain needs to get series about their security if they want to start playing the Soft Power again. Because they haven’t done that in a while.

  5. It’s not as severe as it is written, but the cause is severe.

    This is probably due to UEFA League blocking IPs arbitrarily to prevent “illegal streams” of the football matches. Read about it.

    If it’s due to another problem, then we have another underlaying problem. Another one. That’s not good either.

    It would be cool if we didn’t leave this for later, like we did with electricity until it boomed…

    “I barely noticed” turns into “Spain is offline” very quickly, haven’t we learnt the lesson?

  6. This is Russia (again)!

    That sad bunch of losers can’t win on a real battlefield against real (wo)men, so they break our stuff where they see a soft target to try and make our countries into a third-world hole like their own country!

  8. Could all these outages be tests? For when they can really be used as a weapon of war.

  11. “Sir..a second black out has hit the country..”

  14. what? Im just learning about this right now and I am from spain xD

  16. Think who ever did this-but one thing is clear to me. Spain has been a test of ground for a larger outage sometime soon.

  17. Seems like Sun Spots would affect the entire planet and not just one county.

  18. Netflix casually dropping Zero Day right before these events 🍿

  19. So they actually get to experience what life was like pre internet for a brief moment? They might not want it to stop

  20. Is there truly no correlation to the recent solar activity? It just seems coincidental this time. Last time they initially said it was a cyber attack, then quickly changed tune.

  22. that theory works. otherwise it’s just a glitch after another glitch.

  23. if you disagree, then what is you’re theory unless you are waiting for the competent spanish authorities to tell you what happened.

  24. Barcelona here, didn’t even notice. Everything is fine.

  25. Was in spain this morning, working just like normal – no idea this even happened, so I will wait for the news, but it wasn’t in my area.

  28. A communications disruption could mean only one thing: invasion.

  29. How are they voicing their complaints/concerns without internet or signals on their phones?

  32. Woke up with problems due to this. Had to be Telefonica. Who else?. Everything is back online now.

  34. Why does the article read like it’s written by and for Kindergartners?

    That being said, while I lived in Spain I didn’t use one of the large providers (Movistar), but there was a small local company.

    I had the most amazing symmetric Gigabit fiber connection in a tiny cow-town in Spain, putting any shitty DSL/cable here in Germany to shame….

  35. Has there been a proper explanation released about the cause of the last blackout?

  37. The pure incompetence of Spanish public services continues.

    It’s so fucking lazy and half assed all the time.

  38. I can be easily convinced that UEFA is a front for the FSB. Or vice versa. Makes total sense to me. As much sense as the rest of this crazy timeline.

  39. Sudden wave of newborns in 8 and 9 months from now.

  40. Overly exaggerated headline, it wasn’t for all and it was a problem with one internet provider that went down for some hours. I don’t think that it deserves a headline in worldnews xD .

  43. They had a nice time without electricity sure but isn’t this indicative of greater infrastructure issues
