In the comments, people reported things like "Wow, I just experienced internet lagging, and I thought it was an issue with my iPhone," "Netflix is buffering too," and "My home Wi-Fi seemed weird, so I was going to call for service."
Comments indicate that this phenomenon is not limited to a specific area, as it has occurred both in the metropolitan area and in rural regions.
Many users, especially, initially mistook it for a problem with their personal devices or faulty routers. It was only after confirming that many others were experiencing the same inconvenience online that they began to wonder if there might be an issue with the KT network.
Given that many users, regardless of location, are sharing similar experiences, speculations are arising that there may be issues on the service provider's side.
"When it rains, the situation gets worse"… Recurring Quality Controversy
Users commonly mentioned, "When it rains, the situation gets worse," linking weather to quality degradation.
Some pointed out that "Every year when the monsoon season comes, it disconnects, and even when technicians come, it's hard to find the cause," highlighting the recurring problem. A few rare comments mentioned dissatisfaction with other telecom companies, but the vast majority of complaints focused on KT.
The internet is not only crucial for daily life but also directly affects remote work, video calls, and content consumption. As such, users' frustrations seem to extend beyond mere 'lagging,' impacting their overall lives. Users are urging telecom companies to strengthen network stability according to weather and environmental conditions, as well as to establish real-time notifications and compensation systems.
