three phone network down ?

trellheim

Posting in AH apologies as the Three forum is dead - anyone else's 3g Three net down ?

L1011

Multiple people in work are having issues but mines fine.

Network is made of wet cardboard and string and falls over if theres anything approaching load.

I have experienced problems with my three account in recent weeks. I don't think the network is down though, at least not that I'm aware of. Edit: correction, I now find that I can't even access the basic three.ie website.

So I assume you're saying the virus has mutated and it's in our telecoms systems now?

Xertz

Whatever happened to their "big upgrade" ?

Abel Ruiz

Too many people using the network to make calls after the government announcement.
The internet works perfect on the phone, so you can call people using whatsapp.

So it appears.

Joeseph Balls

Mines down, can't receive calls or texts, but have data.
Checked downdetector.ie and seems there's faults everywhere

They downgraded their customer service.

Their upgraded app for iPhones is getting horrendous reviews.

Anyone know or heard if when it'll be back. Coinsidence around the time the Government made their announcement at about 11.30am, it seemed to go down.

Ray Palmer

All telecoms and networks are going to be under massive loads so this going to happen a lot

chicorytip

Can't send texts or log into the My3 app.

"Update to systems between 2pm Sunday 15th March and 9am Tues 17th march. We Recommend that you top up as top up channels will be unavailable and some self service and support channels will be restricted."

May be related, but ya its a spotty network most of the time anyway.

Yes they use 3.

satguy

3 should never have been allowed to buy O2 some years ago, in the uk the gov there blocked it.

At the time 3 promised to do upgrades and cut prices,, they then went to other way,, and here we are now.

WrenBoy

cant even top up on the phone now , :rolleyes:

Rufeo

It's the coronavirus' fault

Floppybits

Ah it was like what happens on New years eve, as soon as the government made the announcement everyone started calling and texting and the network exploded. Seems to be working fine now.

Huawei have shut down Three's network using their back door into the core network routers.
The next step in the Chinese plan for world domination...?

P. S. Voice calls till down here in Tipperary, data OK though.

Ubbquittious

Should have bought a proper ham radio instead of playing with these silly consumer mobile phone toys

Skylinehead

We are aware that some customers are currently experiencing intermittent access to voice, SMS and data services. The root cause has been identified as a power issue at one of our data centres. We have engineers working to resolve this as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Works for me though.

Believe it's or not all networks suffered end it seems to have starred just afterward Leo gave his speech this morning. It looks like the whole country jumped onto their phones at the same time. I'm only GoMo (Eir) and some of myself text messages haven't been delivered hours later.

quinnd6

I'm with Tesco and it's still fecked hours later.
Still can't make a call just checked it.
Why are the phone networks in Ireland so bloody useless?

davedonie

Mine was gone all day. Just tried the 'turn the phone off and on again' and I have full coverage now.

An Post use Vodafone


EVERYONE else uses 3. Where people who used to be on O2 are still treated like second class citizens. The others are third class citizens on 3's network.



When a network is up, your service depends on what masts are in your area, hat bands they are on and how congested they are. Check on https://siteviewer.comreg.ie/

Harika

Rumoured that 3 is prepping for a huge influx of people working remotely in the very near future

Fann Linn

Gomo working grand all day.

retro:electro

Mine has been coming and going all day but tbh it’s nothing new, I didn’t even know there was an issue because I find it hamesy at the best of times

I read in the media they were having network problems this afternoon. I can't find the link.

The article said they had a hardware outage problem but then went on to say that it went down at the time of Varadkar's announcement this morning (as if to say that overload caused the problem). Which didn't make much sense to me.
