Our lines were cut when installing the street light poles. Our internet is working and hopefully the same with everyone else.
Thank you for everyone who came forward to raise the issue. You all would have received an email that this has been raised with trades dispute who will be taking over the complaint and handling this for us.
Kia Ora,
If you are one of the houses effected by lack of internet in our area please note that we have just had a chat with the technicians who came to visit. They have only come to assess the issue and they have had no idea about the issue till today. The issue will keep extending because our providers have not communicated this issue with the main provider -chorus. This issue can go on for a while if we don’t put pressure on our providers whose management will then need to get in touch with the technicians to fix it. It’s very frustrating but looks like our calls are going into thin air and we will need the support of everyone effected to get this sorted.

The students from Lincoln Heights School in Keegan Drive are pedalling non-stop today to raise funds for a new playground.
Police advised the school to go into lockdown around midday on Monday after a firearm incident in the street.
This marked the second time this year the school had been placed into lockdown.
It was locked down in July after the shooting of Constable Matthew Hunt, which happened only a few hundred metres away.
School teachers and parents kicked off the first leg of the bike-a-thon yesterday afternoon and braved stormy weather to ride all night.
"After all the bad press about the neighbourhood recently, it would be great to show that despite a few bad eggs Massey is a great place to live," said event and marketing co-ordinator Rebecca Hochuli.
"We have had two covid lockdowns and 2 police lockdowns yet we are still rallying together to fundraise for your children to have a new playground."
Included in the fundraiser were food stalls, players from the Samoan rugby team, a Halloween disco and book fair.
The school's fundraising target is $15000 and $9000 had already been raised this morning, said deputy principal Toby Kite.
"I am immensely proud of our staff who biked through the night and were still smiling and laughing in the morning, and thankful to our parents who have supported this fundraising effort in so many ways," he said.
