Hi all, Vodafone seems to be having an outage of both mobile and fibre in my area in Auckland. How widespread is this?

I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.

I was having issues with mobile data on the North Shore around 11:00. Got home back onto wifi and everything on my phone works fine again.

Something's definitely happening.

You can't do that on a iPhone with mobile data without jailbreaking so I was outta luck until I got home.

Nope. Still down in Chch and they're saying that they're still working on it via twitter.

All back on again now. They must have rebooted it 😊

Looks like it affected mobile and chorus & other LFC tails but not HFC which is still the trusty old TelstraClear network
