Internet outages in Campamento caused by A-5 works affect thousands of residents
The A-5 tunnelling works in Madrid are causing recurring internet outages in areas such as Campamento and Pozuelo de Alarcón. The interruptions affect thousands of residents and complicate both remote working and everyday tasks.
Asociación Vecinal de Campamento has denounced the frequency of these failures, which have been recurring for months. The latest incident left numerous users without a connection for almost four days, in what is already the fourth similar episode in less than a year.
Residents are demanding clear answers from the operators and compensation for the harm caused, especially for those who depend on the internet for work. They also ask the companies responsible for the works to take greater care with fibre infrastructure.
They demand stricter oversight from the City Council and measures to prevent further outages. They believe that the impact of the works cannot be constantly passed on to everyday life without effective solutions.
The transformation of Paseo de Extremadura seeks to improve mobility and reduce pollution, but it is disrupting the rhythm of neighbourhoods that now live with diversions, noise and failures in basic services.
In a city increasingly dependent on connectivity, these outages show how major urban works also affect essential aspects of day-to-day life, beyond traffic or public space.
