Can't be because a few enable users here have reported it dead in this very thread including me.

 

Not using a Vocus retail brand.

 

Ahhh never mind then.

However not all is restored. 

Fping graphs on my side are reporting drops all over the place and Cloudflare seems to be routing to Sydney and not AKL.

edit:

DDOS attack apparently. This may go on for a bit on and off I suspect.

DDOs Attack was the cause

That's not fun or great news to hear.

Back online in Manukau. Thank godness for my 2degrees hotspot. Finally used up a teeny weeny bit of my data allocation... WFH all the time means I hardly ever leave the range of my home wifi. Wonder how much traffic 2D/VF/Spark saw during the outage.

I finally had a reason to claim the free hour of unlimited mobile data that I've never had to use before. Still down in Tauranga though... :(

Would seem they took their speediest server offline too

Was sorta hoping we were being upgraded in speed and the outage was the changeover.
