It appears Vodafone broadband is out

[Ambleton]

Wfh today and about 2pm I notice my VPN has disconnected. This is a pain in the arse as it means I've relinquished my CAD license back to the servers and can't save my work.

Anyway, reset my router but no Internet connection.

Go to check the vodafone website on my phone and its also down. Check "down detector" and theres a massive spike of about 140k reported outages so far within the last 2hrs... yikes.

It's not just broadband it seems.

[Ambleton]

Holy st... down detector is reporting issues all over the place...

Vodafone, bt, lebara, voxi, virgin, ee, talktalk, sky, 3, O²

[SpudLink]

Broadband down at about 14:45. Website down. Tried the support number and it says phone is turned off .

Looks like no more work today. If it’s not fixed soon, I ll have to go into the office tomorrow.

Edit: Three is still working, although I believe they now share the Vodafone network.

Not looking good atm.
Bets on the likely cause?
Fat fingers / "terrorist" states?

My first thought was a malicious attack, but who knows.

Three 5G working normally for me,Lebara is down

[PushedDover]

I WFH and on Vodafone, took me a while to twig it was not my set up.
Downside is Mobile / Mobile data is a also Vodafone, so cant tether.,


Have gone to a neighbours to check and see it was an outtage as I suspected. (nothing was on the BBC news channels)

Looks like tracing to www.vodafone.co.uk doesn't resolve, someone made a DNS error.

[PushedDover]

Hackers seems to be the flavour of the month for these things surely ?

For the Broadband AND mobile Data to be taken down (yet oddly not telephone itself) seems to indicate something serious.

Mine and Mrs CO's mobile providers are Vodafone, the home broadband provider is also Vodafone. Oops. Only able to post as I'm using the WiFi at the gym

[butchstewie]

Something is very, very, very fked there right now

Although the network status checker just shows a sad face

It's always DNS!

This happen last year, maybe the year before,with Cloud flare? DNS fkup and the internet shat itself. Probably the same thing.

Home broadband is Vodafone, luckily mobile is another unaffected network.

Unfortunately little or no network signal in the house. Phone is now on a window cill and I'm getting 0.5M download.

BBC are now reporting it : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yldldx659o
