[2024-09-10 13:59:59 NZST] Lightwire engineers are aware of an issue with equipment at one of our Waikaretu transmission sites that may be causing a complete loss of service for customers in the area. We are investigating the scope of the problem and will attempt to resolve this remotely.

In the event this can not be solved remotely we will attempt to send a site technician for further investigation and remediation. If this can not be done this afternoon, Tuesday September 10th, we will visit site early morning on Wednesday September 11th.

We apologise for any inconveniences this may be causing and will be working hard to restore services to normal as quickly as possible. Please reach out to us at 0800 12 13 14 or at support@lightwire.co.nz with any questions.
