[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 be continuing to closely monitor the network throughout the night.  Our focus will now be on establishing the root cause of this issue and putting steps in place to ensure it does not happen again. 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.

19/12/13 @ 20:23

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.

I'm in Waterford...still no service. There are 3 of us in the hse on 48 with no phone working.

 Well that Sucks !

Have to laugh at all you guys saying you are going to go to meteor do you honestly that's going to make any difference to the situation this breakdown is more than likely to do with the 150km winds we are having.The only reason why we are all on this network is because its the best deal around Im sure 48 are doing everything they can to get it sorted !

What a joke..

Looking forward to changing networks once my membership runs out. This is exactly how to lose customers 48- providing an unreliable service. Happening way too often..

[chanelle90]

Mine still not working an I d only one???

Absolute joke, no reliability or professionalism with this network. It's annoying but also very dangerous to be not able to contact anyone or be contactable for that amount of time. Getting worse since I have joined! Will be moving back to vodafone asap.

I tried turning off and on the phone, still showing no service, there has been an update at 20.38 saying some members are back is this true?

[amys971]
