Suspected vandalism behind internet outage affecting 950 Auckland homes

Photo: Supplied / Screenshot A body representing internet users says it's concerning vandalism could be behind a massive internet outage in Auckland. The Network provider, Chorus, has been working around the clock after 950 connections were severed late Thursday. About 150 users had been restored so far. Crews found six cables damaged and think it was done on purpose. Technology Users Association chief executive Craig Young said important businesses were in the affected area. He said he was surprised at the possible vandalism because fibre cables didn't carry value for offenders like old copper lines did. It comes eight months after a similar internet outage in Auckland affected about 3000 customers. In that outage in Māngere Bridge and Onehunga, Chorus also blamed vandalism.
