ffs Chorus again? I've got assignments due this arvo and no internet at home. Guess I'm going to the library.

Sam North2026-06-23T23:49:34.000Z

you can get to a library. I'm stuck with screaming kids and no wifi.

Grace Patel2026-06-23T23:28:34.000Z

bet it's those old copper lines they never properly replaced. classic nz infrastructure.

Sam North2026-06-23T23:48:34.000Z

Working from home today... or not. Cheers Chorus, real helpful 👍

Probably some digger hit a cable again. Happens every bloody week.

Unfortunately this is just the reality of relying on underground fibre infrastructure. Chorus should have invested in better redundancy. But what do I expect from a monopoly.

Grace Patel2026-06-24T01:44:34.000Z

Monopoly? Tell me about it. Zero accountability.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-24T01:03:34.000Z

Sending good vibes to everyone affected. Hope it's back soon!

Haha 'good vibes' — that'll fix the fibre 🙄
