Thousands of Vodafone mobile phone and internet users are currently struggling to connect to the network across Australia.

Some users are reportedly unable to access the internet on their smartphones, with connections repeatedly dropping out. 

It is believed the network problems began just after 11am on Friday. 

‘We are currently experiencing some network issues and are working to get this fixed as soon as possible,’ the network provider told complaining users on social media.

A Vodafone spokesperson later confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that they ‘were aware of an issue impacting 4G services nationwide.’

‘Data services may be falling back to 3G intermittently, causing congestion and slower speeds for customers,’ the spokesperson said.

‘We apologise for the inconvenience and thank customers for their patience.’

Network issues have been reported in capital cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide.
