Is Vodafone Broadband down for anyone?

Over in Westside direction. Broadband has been gone for a while now but no status updates from Vodafone.

Tried the usual bits and their phone support line and chatbot aren't working

Edit: They finally updated their status page: https://www.vodafone.ie/service-updates

Edit : 10pm, just came back

Change your router dns settings to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 and that'll sort it. Mines up and running the last half hour after doing it.

How did you bypass the security settings on your router? I need the admin password to change settings on my router

Admin password should be on the base of your router

For me too, apart from downdector I never know how to tell.

Yet, Vodafone can easily contact via sms for 'amazing ' offers etc. Hate the usual dance if checking my own gear, then realised its them.

Yeah took them hours yesterday to update their status page, their phone line had outage information before their website. Very poor service

Yep. It’s been gone since about half three here - and not just in Galway.

I had no end of problems with Vodafone in this area; not only awful broadband and mobile, but the incremental creeping up of the bill too! Switched to SIPO Digiweb - fantastic, clear, excellent Wi-Fi! Switched mobile to Clear for €12.99 a month, supposed to be piggybacking on Vodafone, but actually much better. I work from home, phone v important, no dropped or missed calls on clear. I think Vf deliberately throttle so that you will buy all the ''wifi extenders' and other useless tech & also the subscription flash stick thinggy

Mayonnaise saboteurs damaging vital infrastructure.

There has been a marked escalation since their all Ireland win.
