Work is underway to restore fibre to a large part of Tauranga after a feeder cable was cut on Sunday.<\/p>\n

This resulted in an internet fibre outage affecting users in The Lakes area.<\/p>\n

“A civil construction contractor undertaking work on Cambridge Road, Tauranga, accidentally struck one of our feeder cables,” said Tuatahi First Fibre chief network officer Lyndon Templeton.<\/p>\n

The outage happened around 10pm, with around 2000 residential services impacted, including 260 business connections.<\/p>\n

“Our crews have been on site through the night. The damaged fibre cables have now been removed, and new cables are being installed and jointed today,” said Templeton.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, due to the scale of the damage, there was no option for a temporary repair.<\/p>\n

“Restoration work is progressing and we expect services to be gradually restored during the course of today.<\/p>\n

“We understand this is disruptive and appreciate the patience of affected residents and businesses while urgent repairs are completed.”<\/p>\n
