Find out if you're affected by network outages

What to do in the case of major internet outages or significant local outages

We’ll keep you up to date with any major outages or changes to our network. If there’s a significant local outage or major network issue, we’ll notify you through our website, the Origin app, email and SMS.

For outages caused by natural disasters, we’ll still provide updates via our website and app — but we may not send direct notifications. We’ll include the following information:

  • Available details on the scale, likely cause, and impacted areas

  • Timeframes to get you back online, where available

  • Regular status updates until services are restored – at least every 6 hours for the first day, then daily until it’s resolved

  • What to do if your service doesn’t come back online automatically, or if you’re still experiencing issues after the outage ends

If you contact us to make a service outage report, and your issue is part of a network outage, we’ll treat it as a network outage complaint and focus on getting your service restored. This doesn’t apply if the outage is caused by a natural disaster. You can learn more by reading our Network Outage Complaints Handling Policy
