Any update from Chorus?

Vector were upgrading the power cables in the area yesterday, so I guess it was them.

latest update on website

17/04 9.20am - MSAN’s in the Titirangi area have come back online at around 6am this morning. We are still seeing a number of customers in the Henderson area who are still down, it is anticipated that this will be restored further today as the fiber splicing progresses.

Splicing is underway, some services have restored already.

Yeah sometimes freak things like this happen i.e. storm hits, loose MSANs in the area, then the power goes out around most places, the technicians working to repair this will be getting a bit of heat to get this restored. Conditions though may not be aiding in restoration.
