Meteor said the problem was caused by a fibre break in its network near Passage East in Waterford yesterday evening.
The network said its teams have been working through the night to repair the break.
“Repair efforts require a substantial level of work across multiple teams,” it said.
We are doing everything possible to restore service to all impacted customers.
Meteor apologised for the disruption and said it would issue further updates as soon as possible.
