KEY POINTS:
A south Auckland business says it is losing thousands of dollars a day as it waits for its 0800 number and fax line to be reconnected.
Around 10,000 landlines were cut when Pukekohe's exchange crashed on Thursday night.
A Telecom spokesman says a handful of people with newer numbers are still on hold, while most were reconnected last weekend.
Steve Rigby from OHUG Power Equipment is not one of those. He says he is shocked his problems are still not resolved. Mr Rigby says so far his company has lost around $25,000 to $30,000 in potential business deals, and is worried about the long term impact.
He says so far Telecom has only been offered around $30 credit on their bill as compensation.
