In Te Rapa Area, no signal with a HTC Desire, Samsung C5220 and Nokia e75. Been down around 10-15mins now.

Anyone else experiencing issues?

Same issue in Whakatane. Phone is alternating between "no service" and "emergency calls only".

There seems to be no scheduled work there, hence this must be a outage.
Telecom for the win!

Has anyone reported it? Telecom's site says to call 120 for faults, which I can't do because the phone doesn't work :P

Okay the "H" is back.... Let's hope it stays that way XT! :-)

Signal strength seems a bit down and mine is never under full strength normally.

Wait, the H just disappeared again..

Update: 6.16pm - Connectivity up again. Signal Strength is up and down. Guess someone's moving the coat hanger around.

:D

Wait, router reset? Don't they know about BGP Routes or Redundancy?
If a router goes down here, we get a message saying "Ohai a router seems to have died" - and things still work normally.
