My fibre connection abruptly dropped this morning while I was working from home, and in a work meeting. It's been down for about a half-hour now. When I try to ring up 2degrees customer support, it says they're experiencing "longer than usual wait times", and "the queue is closed", then it hangs up on me with no option for a callback or any other resolution.

 

I'd like to get this sorted ASAP, or at least have a status update or figure out if it's a 2degrees issue or a Chorus issue. The broadband page is showing that there's no expected maintenance or known outages right now.

 

I also tried contacting 2degrees on Twitter, but Twitter is currently failing to send DMs.

 

Anyone know how I can get hold of 2d here?! This current lack of customer support is baffling. :\

I did check that earlier. It shows the entire town as blue currently, but only up to 45 customers affected. That was also reported late February, and there hasn't been any issues until now. I'm not seeing anyone else that's reporting issues either. It seems it may be localised, but I'm pretty well in the dark right now.

Hey mate,

 

Can you DM me your account number? I'll take a look. Can't promise much since I'm not in the Care team but I'll try to at least get some info for you.

 

Cheers
