And also remember back early in the year when one slip on
North Island to the Hutt
motorway took out all services in Wellington.
What is so wrong with Telstra's network that single events can affect so many people, when supposable it takes more than two fibre cuts to disrupt them?
This post you've quoted was related to the core network - i.e. the bits that connect Wellington to Auckland etc. This is a fault in the access network i.e. the bit that connects Mary and Bob (or in this case Kandallah) to the core network. NO operator has full redundancy in the access network for residential services. If you want that, you need to pay through the nose to get a business service, even then most services give you only a single copper pair/fibre/cable to your premises which is still a single point of failure.
