As of this moment (Sunday 24 Jan 2010) Telecom's XT network has been down for me for over 24 hours. Whenever people in my household try to use it we get a "Network Busy" error. I dion't know how far the outage extends. As I haven't heard anything about it the outage could be quite localised.
I moved on to Telecom's new XT network earlier this week and I am wondering if this is a good move. I have noticed that sometimes my phone rings when calls are incoming and sometimes it doesn't. Just a few minutes ago I received a call. The phone didn't ring - I only happened to glance down at it and see that there was a call. When I answered it, the quality was appalling. I had to step outside before I could hear the person on the other end properly. They kept fading in and out.
