I was one of the hundreds of thousands of Telecom customers affected by broadband outages this week.
My home broadband was down on Tuesday night as a major outage affected Telecom's network, and again on Wednesday morning.
Telecom said as it restored services, a "significant number" of customers were still receiving intermittent coverage and may have their connections drop out, APNZ reported.
That's exactly what I had - intermittent coverage and the connection dropping out. I didn't call Telecom to complain because that about sums up my internet service most of the time.
While this week the service has been off more often than it's on, connection drop-outs seem to be a pretty regular occurrence anyway. And I know of other customers who have much the same experience.
