I was visiting my friends who live in Ahuroa last night and was staying the night there and around 10:30-10:45 I noticed that my Youtube video I was playing fullscreen on my phone was no longer buffering the rest of the video.

Loaded the Fritzbox admin page up on my laptop and found ADSL was connected but there was no IPv4 address, so did the full troubleshooting that I could and still nothing.

Tried to use cellphone to get on the outage list for ISP and found that my Vodafone cell had no network detected, yes my friends live rural but I normally get between 2-3 bars of H+ internet there, absolutely nothing, even restarted phone and put SIM in to my backup phone.

My dual sim Windows phone that uses Spark and 2Degrees also reported no networks were available.

One of my friends came and asked what was wrong with the internet as she could not load anything on her phone either wifi or 3G connection.

Has anyone else experienced this where everything possible dies and does not exist? Talk about going back to the dark ages, thankfully no issues with power.
