Thousands without service as Meteor network crashes

The problem is being worked on, the network says.

THE MOBILE NETWORK Meteor has suffered a network outage this afternoon, leaving thousands without service.

The network was hit by the fault earlier this afternoon and says that they are working to resolve the issue.

In a posting on their forum, the network said:

“Due to an incident with one of our mobile sites some customers are experiencing issues with their calls, texts and data. This issue is also affecting the MyMeteor service so some of you may run into trouble logging in.”

“Tech support are working on this as we speak and full service will be returned as soon as possible.

“We’ll keep you posted here with updates or if you wish you can get in touch with us on our Twitter page @Meteor_Mobile.

“Thanks for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience.”

    Caillte _Just lashed it together there.. I will be discussing it else where don’t worry.

    17th February 2015 may be the date to watch out for. Reduce the Date: 1+7+2+2+0+1+5 = 18 (6+6+6)

    The date distance between Barack Obama’s Birthday and the 18th February 2015 is 197 days.
    Reduce the date 1+9+7 and you get 17.

    The date distance between Pope Francis Inauguration on 13 March 2013 and 18th February 2015 is 706 days. Reduce the date 7+0+6 and you get 76 and 7+6 = 13,

    Do you remember what I said about Pope Francis and all the 13′s

    Nope,I was with Vodafone for years and they are beyond abysmal and with customer care that is bordering on contempt.
    I moved to Meteor about 5 years ago and any problems/queries have been dealt with in a professional and swift manner.
    I am contacted on a regular basis to update me on tariffs and deals.
    I had a problem with a handset and while it was off for repair I was given a loan of an identical handset at no cost.
