In in Christchurch. Internet has been down at least an hour. Anyone know what the story is? I can't get through on help line (overloaded).

BTW Vodafone. Why can't you update your frigging website when there is a fault? TCL was the same.

same here, inhome cable no internet connection. After Tcl sold to vodafone, I get this feeling that the service will go bad soon or latet just like the old ihug. All vodafone cares is our $$.

Price drops, Data caps go up and speed increase and Yes Vodafone is a business like many others that have share holders, Outages happen on all ISPs so stop the ISP bashing and issue will be sorted

@JohnR. The speed test was using the Vodafone's Broadband speed test, although, using the Ookla's I got 94.5Mbps/10.16Mbps which isn't too bad, and ping of 8ms to Christchurch (Snap Internet).

Go and quote those speeds to a user hanging off a Conklin with 60 users and see what they have to say

They'll probably say their friends on 'UFB' get a faster upload speed :p , too soon?

Yes, of course outages happen. But why are isps so terribly bad at communicating those outages? It's not just Vodafone - it's a fairly consistent complaint across many isps and despite years of complaints and help lines getting hammered a simple message on the outage might stop all those people from hammering the call centre.
