Yet another nationwide 3 outage

[OldGermanHeaps]

Network 3 is down across the country yet again. Lots of calls into our helpdesk, and our families phones are down again, showing bars but no calls or data. I had hoped the vodafone merger would have helped with this,but I shoot myself in the foot a lot for being naively optimistic about things, like using 3, or operating high mileage old german vehicles. Ho hum.

Ive been on 3 for about 10 years and never had an issue. Even now the data is working fine, I only knew there was an issue because my mum whatsapped me and said she couldnt call or text.

Not really a big issue.

They have been having usually around 2 extended nationwide outages every year for the last couple of years. Last time it lasted around 18 hours of being unable to make or receive calls. Quite a big issue if you are trying to run a business and average 45 to 60 calls a day.
Maybe not an issue if people rarely call you. Data was off earlier, its back on now. In the last few outages data was off as well. Last time it happened i was on a site with no wifi. Had to activate an ee sim to be able to get through the day.

Zero issues here in Lancashire; both my lines, my wife’s number and our iPad eSIMs all working as they should be
