  1. It’s *incredibly* dead.

    Broadband, phone data, heck even their website itself.

    EDIT: Looks like it’s starting to come back up as of ~17:05

  2. Yeah not just VF, full system outage for VF, DNS failing for most landline systems across the board

  3. Yep very down – https://thelocal365.com/article/vodafone-outage-forces-brits-to-talk-to-each-other-for-the-first-time-in-years/ might have to read a book or do a jigsaw or something drastic.

  4. Yeah… phone and broadband. That’s…. impressive.

    I have wifi at the office, but everything else? Down

    Three not working great in my area either. I’ve got both 3 and Vodafone and Vodafones SIM is dead. Three is showing 4g but won’t connect to anything at all.

    Wondered why I couldn’t catch up on the latest about the Royal Family the Daily Mail. Tut.

    My wife knows I can’t do any more work now and has already sent me a list of jobs to do around the house.

  8. It has been down for me since 1508. Still not up. Did the entire servers explode ? 😱 Need to work and can’t due to the internet being down😅

  9. For anyone who wants to go do something else until their WFH setup starts working again, `ping -a 8.8.8.8` will keep trying to hit Google’s servers and when it connects, will beep every second (Linux/macos/WSL).

  10. Yep just turned my (non-Vodafone) wifi off and despite my phone showing 4 bars of 4G nothing is working.

  11. In fairness to the Vodafone customer care team and their press department, they probably can’t get online at the moment to tell anyone what the hell is going on.

  12. I’m very grateful I never signed up to one of their multi packages and my phone is on a different network.

    I just signed up to Vodafone and talk mobile last month…this is not a great start. Having to borrow the neighbours WiFi to even check what’s happening.

  14. We’ve been told it’s a cascade effect brought down the DNS systems after vf system crash

    This happened to me recently, woke up with no phone no Internet and no mobile internet (same network does both broadband and phone). Couldn’t WFH, couldn’t contact manager, couldn’t contact phone company, couldn’t get Uber to office. One of those moments where you realize just how reliant everything is on phone and Internet.

    Does anybody happen to know the process at HQ of something like this happens? Will their be some seriously clued up tech experts trying to figure this out right now? How does something this serious get resolved eventually ?

    Bless you for giving me the afternoon off having to do no work because I use Vodafone broadband lmao. I finish in 5 mins, the past 2 hours have been a lovely start to the week!

    But if you could get it back running for when I finish work that’d be great 😅
