Chorus outages affecting fibre internet across Auckland
A number of fibre outages are impacting internet connectivity, with as many as 32,000 connections impacted.
An overnight network update caused widespread internet outages affecting around 30,000 connections in various parts of Auckland, according to Chorus. Reports of the issues were received from readers on the North Shore, Hibiscus Coast, and Papatoetoe. A Chorus map indicated several outages across the Auckland region, including areas such as Albany, Redvale, Long Bay, Rosedale, Browns Bay, and Milford.
The network outages came to an end midday on Tuesday, with a Chorus spokesperson confirming that the outages had been resolved and customers should be reconnected shortly. The initial assessment suggests that the outage followed the planned overnight network update. Chorus expressed apologies for the service interruption and thanked customers for their patience.
Downdetector reported a spike in outage reports from Spark, One NZ, 2degrees, and Slingshot users, among others, shortly before 9am, leading to nearly 32,000 outages across the country.
