Chorus outages hit fibre internet across Auckland
An overnight network update was responsible for fibre outages affecting as many as 32,000 connections, Chorus says.
On Tuesday evening, an estimated 30,000 internet connections across Auckland experienced outages, according to Chorus. The disruptions were reported in various areas, including the North Shore, Hibiscus Coast, and Papatoetoe. The Chorus map revealed outages in multiple suburbs, such as Albany, Redvale, Long Bay, Rosedale, Browns Bay, and Milford. By midday on Tuesday, Chorus confirmed that the network issues had been resolved and customers were expected to regain service shortly.
Initial analysis suggests that the outages occurred after a planned overnight network update. Chorus apologized for the inconvenience, expressing gratitude to customers for their patience during the resolution process. Downdetector reported a surge in outage notifications from multiple internet service providers, including Spark, One NZ, 2degrees, and Slingshot, around 9 am on the same day. The total number of outages across New Zealand reached nearly 32,000.
