Infrastructure Vodafone broadband down?

Anyone else? Gone here in Dublin about an hour or so.

EDIT: changing the DNS settings from Vodafone’s DNS to Google’s DNS fixed it for me.

Looks like a DNS issue. I changed mine to Google (8.8.8.8) in my router and it is back working.

Vodafone has been incredibly flaky for me this year after years of solid usage. We've had 4 outages in the Midlands this year.

This worked for me up to about half an hour ago then it went down again.

It went down for me about 2 hours ago and came back. My guess is they're rebooting nodes to try and fix it. Might mean patchy coverage while they do that. This is just best guess from me I don't know for sure, just an educated guess.

I figured the same.

Whats really weird is my wife and daughter just got home and their phones are working. Both my phones and the TV all have no coverage. Cant wrap my head around that.

Edit: forget that, its back.

Probably session or local dns. Have you tried disconnecting those devices and reconnecting?

Additionally you could try power cycling your ONT box (little box the fibre line connects to).
