21 Mar 2025 10:11AM: This outage has been resolved. We appreciate your patience during this unexpected event, which affected many customers. If you're still experiencing issues and haven't been contacted for a fix, please call 0800 114 973 and leave a message. We understand this disruption has been frustrating, and we acknowledge the delay hasn't been ideal. We are a small, distributed team without a dedicated customer service department. Our technicians are handling a high volume of enquiries and working through them as quickly as possible.

19 Mar 2025 9:54AM: We're still seeing isolated issues in certain locations, mostly for connections coming off the BigDam tower. If you haven't already reached out to us and are still experiencing problems, please leave a message via our website contact form with details of your issue. You'll be added to our priority list for our technicians to troubleshoot your individual connection.

18 Mar 2025 3:51PM: Most connections are now fully restored but our network techs are still working on configuration changes following the outage so there are a few that are offline or experiencing slow speeds. Customers who have sent us an enquiry between Saturday and today have been put on a priority list for individual inspection.

16 Mar 2025 2:25PM: The issue at our Hokitika Airport site was fixed yesterday afternoon around 2PM, and most connections were fully restored.

15 Mar 2025 9:35AM: Chorus was unable to restore service lastnight. A second technician was dispatched this morning and is onsite now. The issue stems from a configuration change on their end, and they're working to resolve it. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your patience.

We appreciate your patience as we manage a backlog of tickets—please expect some delay in individual responses. Our network engineer will follow-up a number of individual connections where messages have been left.

14 Mar 2025 10AM: Migration back to the main link is taking longer than expected. We're still working on this part and appreciate your patience.

13 Mar 2025 8:50PM: We have restored connectivity, but some users may still experience issues as we transition traffic back to the main connection. Speeds will gradually improve and are expected to fully recover by 6AM tomorrow.

13 Mar 2025 4:50PM: Our equipment at Hokitika Airport has been affected by the earlier fibre outage. This site feeds all other access points in the area. Our team is working to resolve the issue while also redirecting traffic through other connection points. Your internet may come online but please be aware that we are still working on the fix. We really appreciate your patience while we get this sorted.

13 Mar 2025 10:00AM: We had an unexpected outage at our UFB handover in Greymouth. The fibre connection has recovered and is stable, but we're still working through some flow-on effects. Thanks for your patience while we get this resolved.
