Chorus technical teams are investigating a suspected fibre cut between Howick and Waiheke at around 3.00pm this afternoon. A number of Chorus telecommunications services are impacted including both copper and fibre broadband on the island. We estimate 4,000 households and businesses have been affected by the outage.

Chorus would like to apologise to those impacted and is working to restore services as quickly as possible. We will update this announcement with an estimated restore time as soon as this becomes available.
