Welcome back Telecom customers

Telecom has today apologised to it's customers after a huge broadband outage overnight that is still affecting the service of many people.

The entire Telecom broadband network went out last night just after 9pm and was not restored until 5am this morning. Many customers are still having trouble connecting, and those who have managed to connect are having difficulties with their email service.

Telecom says the outage was caused by a problem with a Central Auckland exchange but say they are still investigating the cause.

A Telecom spokesperson stated that: "Our call centres have had extremely heavy demand as people became aware of the issues."

What a suprise.
