Valley Wireless - Notice history

Monitoring an outage for most of Ohariu and Takarua, most likely wind related. Valley Wireless is operational for those houses with battery backup systems.

Power is out for most of Ohariu - Cause is yet to be found according to Wellington Electricity. Valley Wireless internet service not affected if you have Solar or battery backup, however you will not have access to internet if you rely on the main grid. Will monitor and advise when we have more details. Free wifi and device charging available at Ohariu Hall.

Power will be down today from 9am-4:30pm according to Wellington Electricity. This will not affect Valley Wireless if you have a UPS / Solar power setup, you will continue to receive internet from our offgrid towers. All customers who are on the main power supply will lose our internet service unless you have a backup solution in place. There will be free wifi and device charging available at the Ohariu Hall if anyone is in need of this for emergency purposes.

During the reset of the primary fibre firewall this morning, the hard drive in the machine failed. We are currently replacing the disk and rebuilding the operating system. Primary Internet will be unavailable until the server can be repaired. This will affect all Public IPs but the majority of customers are currently running on the backup connection.

Currently monitoring a disruption to our Internet service due to an upstream transit and routing problem. Customers may have issues contacting overseas websites and services. Has affected multiple ISPs. Will update as to the cause when information becomes available. This is not a Valley Wireless network issue.

We are continuing to work on a fix for this incident. Standby for updates, we will deploy a generator as soon as weather permits.
