Many relay sites now on emergency power. Backup fibre link to Jville is down. Will post a repair schedule in the morning. Feb 16, 19:38:38 GMT+0 - Monitoring - Unfortunately power is still down for the whole valley. Electricity teams are working on the transformer pole. The Spark cell tower is down as is all landlines and DSL. A reminder than the Hall is still fully operational and running on solar so has mains power to charge devices, emergency lighting, a working phone line though Valley Wireless and free Wi-fi. Our backup fibre has been fixed. Feb 17, 04:43:54 GMT+0 - Resolved - This incident has been resolved. Power restored to region. Feb 15, 21:42:30 GMT+0 - Identified - Tree is blocking top of Valley to Jville, no access out. Road to Karori is open. If you can get to the Ohariu Hall, there is emergency power for phone and device charging, free internet access, Wi-fi calling and a phone line. Valley Wireless systems all still operational, if you have a generator or solar backup then internet will still work. Spark cell tower has most likely run our of power now so cell service in the area will be poor. Type: Incident

We will be deploying an emergency solution this morning. Thanks for your understanding. Jun 29, 05:19:14 GMT+0 - Monitoring - We implemented a fix and are currently monitoring the result. Unfortunately we have discovered a second power issue at our tower location, which knocked out the internet again between 3pm and 4pm (while we were driving out to a different site). We have since resolved this. We are hopeful this latest fix will stay up overnight and we will do some more repair work tomorrow morning - there will be a brief outage for a few minutes when we power back up in the morning.
