Roadworkers in Kumeu recently damaged six large Chorus fibre and copper cables. Chorus technicians are working in shifts to restore services. Your internet services should restore without action from you. We're sorry for the trouble this extended outage is causing.

Huge Fortnite update on Friday night caused the largest ever traffic peak on the Chorus network at 4.39Tbps. @FortniteANZ That's an incredible 1 Terabit-per-second more than normal. No issues though because we aim to make our network as #CongestionFree as possible

Our GM Customer Networks and Operations Andy Carroll provides the latest on our cyclone response effort in this interview on RNZ this afternoon. Thanks @JMulliganRNZ for the opportunity.

The mahi continues in Hawke's Bay to reconnect communities there. Chorus National Field Manager Phil Gibb (Ngā Rauru Kiitahi) offers a firsthand insight about the impact of the devastation caused by Cyclone Gabrielle.

Great to have more telco services restored in Gisborne and Wairoa today. Helicopters proving a key asset as the Chorus team work in unpredictable environments to get the network back up and running. Still managing to flash a smile for the camera though!

Huge landslips, bridges washed away – you name it, our teams are battling it to get communities and whānau reconnected. A huge mihi to you all - as well as your friends and loved ones who may also be affected by this week’s devastating events – kia māia, kia haumaru koutou katoa

From the air and on the ground, we’re working tirelessly to get whānau and communities reconnected in the Gisborne/Tairāwhiti and Hawke’s Bay regions. But as we’ve all seen from images like these, it’s us versus nature. Kia haumaru koutou katoa

According to Kurt Rodgers, our Network Strategy Manager, there has been a big increase in network traffic due to cyclone Gabrielle. Yesterday's evening peak was only up 8% compared with last Sunday, but total data usage in Auckland was up 24%.

As we get closer to Christmas please note we'll have reduced customer facing staff on the phones from 22 Dec to 9 Jan. For any general enquiries please use our webform or social media channels. There's also lots of helpful info on our website. Enjoy your holidays! 🥳 Team Chorus.

Great to have JB on the NZ Tech podcast to discuss the future of telco and the fibre network for New Zealand. Thanks @PaulSpain for the opportunity!

As we get to the end of UFB 2 and 2+, this article provides a nice overview of what the fibre rollout has meant for NZ and hints on what could be next.

We know now that, on Saturday (US time), Twitter announced it will begin charging $8 for sought-after blue check verification marks, in Elon’s first major revision of the social media platform. Will you pay to stay on Twitter and for a blue-check verification?.

Great to be part of the discussion at the World Broadband Forum in Amsterdam this week. With fibre networks playing a critical infrastructure role in an increasingly digital world, good to share experiences on best way to maintain and operate. #NetworkX.

A taste of what it was like at the finals of the NZ Esports Hyperfibre League over the weekend. So good to see this inaugural event up and running and here's to another one in 2023! #NZEHL.

RT @kurtprodgers: Taking on an e-black @JMKKiing at the @ChorusNZ Fibre Lab didn’t end well. I need more practice. @NZ_ESF .

We've sure come a long way with our views on how the Internet keeps us connected, 😁but the same basic principles seem to still apply.
