Emergency maintenance has been approved for Saturday 7 November 2026 between 01:00 and 05:00 GMT. Vodafone will replace the SFP optical transceiver at its Manchester core site to address the recurring fault on the DSL interconnect.
Customers using the Vodafone DSL interconnect may experience a loss of connectivity while the swap is carried out within this window. The four-hour window is the maintenance window; the exact duration of any interruption has not been confirmed.
Vodafone WDSL remains degraded pending the work and subsequent stability checks. We will provide further updates as the maintenance progresses.
