[nznog] Telecom ATM outage

There is currently a major ATM outage within Telecom. Effects apparent across the country (one of my employer's customers has 30-some sites around the country and only three of them have communications at present). No "official" word from Telecom, but a large number of major companies are affected by what is described as a "non-geographically-centred equipment issue". Anyone at Telecom able to give us something a little more verbose? Within the boundaries of "official company line", that is.
