A figure that in total adds up to 22,000 cable thefts in all of 2022, which marks an impressive increase compared to 2021, which reaches 76%. An increase that, in addition to economically affecting national ISPs, also directly affected customers, which came to be more than 2 million people who suffered the consequences of this large number of thefts.
In addition, in its press release (shared by Pisapapeles), Movistar indicates that the Metropolitan, Valparaíso, Biobío, O’Higgins and Antofagasta regions are the ones that had the highest number of cable thefts during 2022, being in this last region the communes de Santiago, Maipú, San Bernardo, Conchalí and Pudahuel the most affected.
