Hi all,
I've recently converted over to Public Mobile for about 6 months now. At first, 5G data here in Vancouver was great. It was fast, but at random times, there were spotty to no signals at all, and this was at a local community centre.
Recently, as of yesterday, internet data was readily available in the morning up until 10am, then all of a sudden, the internet speed dropped to literally 0 mbps. Cell phone was showing 5G - Full bars - internet speed check was constant 0 - couldn't connect to a server.
I asked my other colleagues who are also on public mobile, and they experienced the same thing. We restarted our phones, turned airplane mode on and off, changed frequency to LTE, yet to no avail. No internet, at least very very weak data.
It went on like this until at least 9pm in the evening. Thinking this was maybe a one off situation, today, exact same thing happened.
Morning data no problem. Once noon hits, data drops dead no matter where we are. YVR airport, Richmond, Vancouver you name it. Calling and Text msgs go through without a hitch (thank god).
Is there someone from Public Mobile Customer Service that could help out in this situation? or at least explain what could be happening? I'm on the $34 / 50gb CAN/US plan, and I never go over 40GB per month, so it's not a GB issue.
Your reply is greatly appreciated.

Currently using Samsung S24+ , 3G also not working. Same issue with colleagues, same plan and same phone. I'll submit a ticket to CS agent as well.
Thank you

HI @jchow2630
what phone you have? voice work? try 3G as well
and if speed is 0 , that means it is not working at all. There is no active outage alert from Telus, so, it could be just an account problem.
another test is to text your sim on another phone
and last, ask support to refresh your account
please submit a ticket with CS Agent using this Chatbot link: https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html Type the question "Submit ticket", Then click the following in order: "Contact Us" , "Other", "Log In".
If any issue with ticket submission, you can submit by direct message:

I tried two different speed tests, and both yielded with 0 mbps, couldn't connect to provider or server error.
Was on 5G, tried LTE manually, tried resetting all networks. Still no go sadly.

Came here looking for answers too. Lost data connection yesterday during the day and it still very bad, it's either extremely slow or doesn't connect at all. I have one of the 4G plans.
