What can I try?

Having trouble with Aber?

  1. Compare reports from Fr. S. Antarctic Lands and check the latest update above. A quiet chart does not rule out a new or local problem.
  2. Try the service on another device or switch between WiFi and mobile data, if available. If other sites also fail, check your internet provider.
  3. Report a problem with the feature that is failing and the country where you are affected. Submit once; your report appears in the chart.

Reports describe people's experiences. One report alone does not confirm an outage.

Questions about these results

Questions

Is Aber down, or is it just me?

Aber itself reports a problem right now, so it is probably not just you.

How do we know?

We read the official Aber status page. People can also report problems here. Their reports appear separately and may reveal issues before a provider update.

How often do we check?

The status page every 15 minutes, day and night. We keep 90 days of history: a day we have no reading for shows as "no data yet", never as working.

Other services in Education

Each card shows that service's own status, not Aber's. A problem listed here does not mean Aber has one.
