1. Provider / fiber outages causing site-wide loss of Internet
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Complete site Internet outages or fiber-provider faults resulting in total loss of connectivity at a location. Symptoms included unreachable site routers, provider outage announcements, inability to reach other sites, and full loss of WAN connectivity affecting all services on the site.

Solution

Incidents were escalated to and tracked with the WAN provider; providers (NetCologne and site ISP) confirmed and cleared the faults and restored the fiber uplinks. In one case the infrastructure team performed an on-site remediation after the router was unreachable and the site returned online following the visit. No local configuration changes were required when the provider completed the incident.

2. Sites on temporary mobile/5G uplink experienced intermittent slowdowns and packet loss
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Intermittent internet slowness, fluctuating connectivity, and packet loss at sites using temporary mobile/5G uplinks. Symptoms included delayed VoIP/Twilio calls, application crashes (Salesforce), variable performance between offices, and periodic full outages when the mobile uplink degraded.

Solution

Troubleshooting identified the temporary mobile/5G uplink (fallback link) as the source of packet loss and instability. Short-term observations showed intermittent restoration periods, but the long-term resolution was the planned cutover to a permanent fiber (Telekom) connection; IT operations escalated provisioning and monitored until the permanent link activation was scheduled or completed.

3. Insufficient bandwidth at a site resolved by uplink upgrade and config updates
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported generally weak/insufficient Internet bandwidth and poor performance across WLAN SSIDs at a campus location, with complaints consistent across multiple users and unclear which SSIDs were affected.

Solution

The site uplink was upgraded to a 1 Gbit Telekom connection and network device configurations were optimized and updated. After applying the new configuration and switching the site to the Telekom 1 Gbit uplink, performance improved and the ticket was closed following verification.

4. Selective Internet access for home user after ISP outage (mobile hotspot worked)
65% confidence
Problem Pattern

Selective website access and partial service availability from a home notebook after an ISP (O2) outage: some third-party sites and Workday were inaccessible, Microsoft 365 apps mostly worked but Teams functionality was limited; connectivity improved when using a phone hotspot.

Solution

Troubleshooting correlated the symptoms with an O2 outage; use of a phone hotspot restored full access, indicating the issue was with the home ISP path rather than a device-only fault. The user tested the device on alternate networks and was advised to apply system updates and further device-level remediation if problems persisted. No evidence of a persistent device-specific network configuration error was found during the investigation.

5. Site Internet managed by third party after ownership/operation transfer
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Complete loss of Internet access at a site where responsibility for the site network had been transferred to a third party; users reported unreachable WLAN and inability to access local software and files, with indications that external maintenance was in progress.

Solution

Support determined that responsibility for the site's Internet had been handed over to the external organisation (Alanus). The user was informed that the external party was now responsible for maintenance notifications and remediation; the internal team did not perform network remediation and closed the ticket after communicating the ownership transfer.
