Update timeline

  1. identified Aug 11, 2026, 10:06 PM UTC

    A number of Broadband Fibre services in West Auckland are currently impacted following vandalism and damage to Chorus fibre routes early this morning. Chorus have had teams on site since the damage was located and are currently working to repair and restore service. Right now there is no ETA for restoration, but we would expect services to begin restoring when they progress with the fibre splicing.

  2. resolved Aug 11, 2026, 11:19 PM UTC

    We believe all impacted services have now been restored.
