How to fix Surf Internet not working
Surf Internet is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach surfinternet.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Surf Internet.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Surf Internet is down: what to use instead
- Phone hotspot Turn on your phone's hotspot and connect your laptop to it when you need a short block of work and your home connection is out.
- Cellular data Use mobile data for maps and messages until the service comes back.
- Public Wi-Fi Head to a library or cafe with Wi-Fi for large downloads or video calls that cellular cannot carry well.
- Support call from your bill Call the support number printed on your Surf Internet bill when the outage lasts long enough that you need a person.
Problems at the same time as Surf Internet
Since 27 October, all 4 of Surf Internet's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

How we track Surf Internet
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Surf Internet, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Surf Internet, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Surf Internet doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
