Lightwire engineers have been made aware of an issue with our Te Akau Road site and as a knock on effect, our Waingaro repeater also. An investigation is underway as to the cause, customers in this region will likely experience degraded service with the possibility of a complete disconnection until a Lightwire engineer can visit the site to make the necessary repairs. We are working on a solution to get the site back up and running as soon as possible.
