Canterbury aftershocks update
Telecom’s mobile and fixed networks are in good shape following yesterday afternoon’s aftershocks in Christchurch.
While mains power has now largely been restored, there will continue to be some isolated issues as individual faults relating to damage caused by the earthquakes are identified and repair work is carried out.
Telecom payphones across the city will remain free for local, national and mobile calling until the end of the week.
Telecom also has more than 50 free WiFi hotspots across Christchurch so residents can access the internet for free. A map of the WiFi hotspots can be found online here: http://www.telecom.co.nz/chch/?wifi
To use Telecom’s free WiFi in Christchurch, people can configure their mobile and computing devices by looking for the WiFi address (SSID) ‘Telecom Free WiFi’.
Our technicians are carrying out repair work as quickly as possible, and o ur thoughts remain with the people of Canterbury.
