Turns out last night at 1am NZ was only connected to the rest of the world with only one cable.

NZ wasn't connected by a "single cable" at the time. The cut was on the land based portion of the Southern Cross in the US. Both of NZ's international cables were functioning. Apparently it affected Australia more than NZ - and the 'figure 8' design of the Southern Cross makes it pretty resilient to this sort of issue.
