Southwestern Bulgaria was left without any fixed-line telephone and Internet connections on Sunday, caused by a mishap at the country's dominant fixed-line operator BTC.

The causes of the accident are still unclear, according to the company's information centre in the town of Blagoevgrad.

Public institutions and individual end-users can only use mobile phones at this time, since the problem has affected the company's Internet lines. BTC is the biggest bandwidth wholesaler and Internet provider in the country.
