oh great, another outage. chorus is a joke. been waiting for fibre for years in my area and they can't even keep it running in the city 🙄

bro I was in the middle of a zoom meeting for work. had to hotspot off my phone data and now I've used half my monthly cap. cheers chorus.

Auckland Zoo without internet? Hope the animals aren't trying to stream Netflix haha

as someone who works in telecoms, these things happen. fibre is fragile and construction crews keep digging through cables. chorus are probably scrambling rn

FFS not again. My kids are home from school and now no wifi. gonna be a long afternoon 😤

Casey Adams2026-06-24T01:01:42.000Z

yeah nah they've been 'onsite since 9am' and still nothing. classic chorus. bet it's a dodgy joint or someone cut a cable they shouldn't have

Hayden Kelly2026-06-24T01:25:42.000Z

get stuffed mate. chorus cuts corners then wonder why this happens. they need to trench properly

Casey Adams2026-06-24T01:48:42.000Z

facts. always some excuse. 'third party contractor' yeah right

Ella Thompson2026-06-24T01:11:42.000Z

lunchtime doomscrolling interrupted. guess I'll actually talk to my coworkers now ugh

Leo McKenzie2026-06-24T01:21:42.000Z

if they don't fix this by 3pm im gonna lose it. need my afternoon youtube break to get through the day

Hayden Kelly2026-06-24T01:28:42.000Z

honestly half the time it's just a config issue that could be fixed remotely but they send a tech out anyway. but what do i know 🤷

Leo McKenzie2026-06-24T01:35:42.000Z

lol cope. we pay through the nose for 'reliable' fibre and this is what we get

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T01:35:42.000Z

anyone else's mobile data slow too? or is it just me? might be everyone hotspotting lol

Ella Thompson2026-06-24T02:18:42.000Z

yep same here. spark is probably throttling everyone

Casey Adams2026-06-24T02:22:42.000Z

nah man. chorus is the lines company. spark is just the retailer. but sure, blame whoever 🙄
