Chorus has today provided the first of a series of weekly updates throughout winter on its fault restoration performance on the copper and fibre networks.

As part of the work to prepare for winter, particularly on the copper network, additional technicians have been recruited, a vigorous proactive maintenance programme has been completed, and more technicians will be available at weekends throughout the winter months.

Fault restoration across the country is stable, currently sitting at 24.9 hours.

Chorus' website includes a network outage checker (www.chorus.co.nz/outages)which people can use to see if there is an outage in their area. The tool gives an overview of the outage and estimated restoration times.

Fault restoration performance month to date at 13 June:

- Faults logged with Chorus: 11,046
- Faults restored month to date: 10,881
- Average time to restore: 24.9 hours
- Current open faults: 1152
- Faults open for more than three days: 74

ENDS
