Key Facts
- 224 internet reports since February 2026: Cosmote 88, Vodafone 28, Nova 24, other providers 10, no provider stated 74
- Internet reports rose from 6 in June to 87 in September
- Counts follow market share and who uses Outage.gr, so they do not show which network is better
- If the internet dies when the lights do, it is probably the power: the router and fibre box lose mains
Internet outages are a small part of what Outage.gr collects, but they matter. This is the honest summary of the 224 internet reports we have received since February, and why it cannot answer "which provider is the worst?".
The numbers
Of 11,247 reports, 224 (2.0%) are about internet. Where reporters named a provider:
| Provider | Reports |
|---|---|
| Cosmote | 88 |
| Vodafone | 28 |
| Nova | 24 |
| Other providers | 10 |
| No provider stated | 74 |
Month by month, internet reports were 11 in February, 3 in March, 1 in April, 9 in May, 6 in June, 26 in July, 34 in August, 87 in September and 47 so far in October.
Why this is not a provider ranking
- Market share. A larger provider has more customers, so it gets more reports whether or not its network is better or worse.
- Our users. The people who find Outage.gr are not a random sample of Greek households.
- A third of reports name no one. Seventy-four reporters did not say which provider they use, often because they do not know who is responsible.
- Small numbers. With a few dozen reports per provider, a single event can change the picture.
So we do not publish "reliability scores". If a site does, ask what it is built on.
Is it the provider, or the power?
Many reports of "internet down" are actually power problems at home: when the electricity goes, the router and the fibre box (ONT) go with it, and your connection vanishes even if the provider's network is fine. If your lights are also out, start with the power. Our guide to internet outages during power cuts explains how to tell the difference.
What to do
- Keep the router alive in a cut. A small DC UPS can power it for hours: see how to stay online during a power cut.
- Check the power first. If the lights are on and the internet is down, contact your provider.
- Report it. If many neighbours are affected, a report on Outage.gr helps others, and the provider overview shows the services we track.
We will publish a comparison when we have enough reports for it to mean something.
