Widespread internet outages around North Island
Widespread internet outages around North Island
More than 100,000 customers in Wellington and nearby areas lost fibre for more than an hour on Friday morning.
Widespread internet outages are being felt around the North Island, telecommunications company Voyager says.
It says it has identified an issue affecting "Chorus Wellington UFB (ultrafast broadband) handover".
"This handover services Wellington, Kapiti, Hutt Valley, Palmerston North and through to Napier."
Voyager said Chorus had identified the source of the issue and are working on a fix.
Currently around 90 percent of connections are offline.
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
My team members are already indicating they're back which surprises me.
It was so broadly impacting across companies and locations I thought of would have been really deep in the core routing - but resolved after a couple of hours
