M1 Mobile Network Down Again :)

Luckily I made the switch many years back to Starhub and have never regretted 🙂

Plus I got discount with Starhub for my mobile plan on corporate discount 😉

Make the switch to Starhub or Singtel!

Update 15 Jan 2013 1410HRS: Managed to received a test SMS from my colleague who is seated opposite my desk. He managed to connect the lousy M1 2G network but not 3G. Still “psychoing” him to make the switch to Starhub or Singtel and just pay M1 the early termination penalty.

Update 15 Jan 2013 1710HRS: Almost 10 hours, just look at their disgruntled customers posting on M1 Facebook page… lol

Update 15 Jan 2013 2330HRS: Almost 18 hours. Just read a press release statement from M1 that the outage was caused by a fire suppression system and water sprinkler activated in their data centre.

Hmmm… doesn’t M1 have remote backup site to handle such disaster? Tsk tsk tsk. Wonder if my friend, Vijay, is involved in the recovery operation.

Read on various tech forums and M1 Facebook page. Seems like service is still not fully restored as some subscribers have 3G and LTE signal but unable to send and receive SMS; nor receive and make outgoing voice calls. While in some area there’s no M1 signal at all.
