[Resolved] Issue with all network services, 19th December

[techie_kev]

We are currently experiencing a major outage across our network resulting in the failure of calls, texts and data. The previous issues affecting our website have now been resolved.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience; this issue is being given the highest priority with our service providers to get this resolved as soon as possible.  We will continue to provide updates here on the Community.

Latest update – 20/12/13 @ 09:21

Calls, text and data are now back to normal and we will continue to monitor the services across the network throughout the day. Services began to return last night from approx 1:30am.

Your phone should automatically re-connect to the network.  However, your handset may need to re-register itself on our network and the best way to achieve this is to turn your phone off and turn it on again.  In some cases, you will need to search for networks manually, find 48 and then connect to it.

We will in touch later in the day with more information on the issues last night.

Thank you for your patience this evening and sorry for the inconvenience caused by this outage.

We will keep you updated on this through the Community.

We are seeing some connections back on the network, but these have been intermittent. The process that our engineers are now working through may take some time to complete and they will be continuing to work on this throughout the night.  We will be monitoring the progress of these changes and will provide a further update to you before 8:00am.

20/12/13 @ 00:30

Our engineers are continuing to work on a number of fixes to restore service across the network.  There are a number of steps required in this process as it takes some time to bring the service fully back.

We know you are very frustrated with this, and so are we, and we would like to apologise for the inconvenience this outage has caused.   Our focus is now on getting service restored tonight and will we update you on the cause of these issues following a thorough investigation when service is restored.

We will have a further update for you just after 1am.

We are still experiencing issues getting full service restored.  Every available resource is working hard to get service back as soon as possible.

19/12/13 @ 21:20

As we mentioned in our previous update we are seeing some calls, texts and data being successful on the network.  However, the return to full service for everyone is taking longer than we had anticipated.  Our engineers are working hard to speed up this process and get your service back as soon as possible.

We are now seeing services returning for a number of customers.  You may need to restart your phone to ensure that your phone reconnects to the network completely.

All website services are now working again.

Our engineers are on site and we have given this the highest possible priority.  We will have some updates and timeframes shortly and we will post them here as soon as they are available.

Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 mate, look it up. We have our consumers right's and this happens so often that it must be infringing on them at this stage, in a yearly period, 48 has at least 5 times the amount of outages that any other network has

Absolute Joke!!!!!!......... If im not offered any sort of compensation this time im going to leave!! 

[vf8]

Not acceptable at all !!!! You lot should have a free call or text for an emergency like call me O2 have or lend me !!!!!!

[Anon]

such a disgrace!! second time it has caused me serious inconvenience in business!!! how can this happen so often people?! disgrace

[Anon]

when????????????????????????????????????????///

I'm off to check out deals on other networks,

I know sh*t happens & a lot of it is unavoidable but I'd still like to have good signal & a useable phone,

whether this happens 'once in a blue moon' or not isn't the point...

the point is it happens too many times not to be annoying at this stage...

We all know the deals are great and all but I think at this stage spending a tiny bit more for the same (or even a little less) in order to have a reliable network is more appealing
