Are Vodafone having issues?
My Vodafone broadband went down at 3:00 p.m. I have "borrowed" internet access but I get "server not found" for both www.vodafone.co.uk and support.vodafone.co.uk. The support number I can find is 0333 304 0191, which doesn't seem to be working either. Is it just me or is something badly wrong at Vodafone UK?
