Network Status

Some wireless customers between Levin and Opiki, and all those in Koitiata, will have lost their connections just after 10pm last night. This is the result of a fault at our site above Shannon. Staff are en route to site, with a resolution expected by around 10.30am.

Ashhurst, Pohangina, Kimbolton areas will have degraded service as our primary fibre link from a 3rd party supplier has failed again. We have a backup path in place, its just not as fast as the main fibre feed in.

Currently no Estimated Time for Repair has been given to us, we have a fault logged and technicians are investigating.

Wireless customers in the Ashhurst, Kimbolton, and Pohangina areas may find they’re presently unable to connect to the internet due to a fibre disruption in Kimbolton. We’re working on fixing this now.

UPDATE 1:17pm: We suspect that many-to-most customers should now find things are working. If you still find you are unable to connect, please try rebooting your router. If this still doesn't work, as always, please call us on 0800 484 363.

UPGRADE NOTICE Hi Inspired customers! We’re planning an upgrade to our email system, which we are hoping will resolve the issues we have been experiencing recently.

The upgrade will happen on Wednesday, 12th August at 2pm.

We don’t expect many problems, but depending on your mail client you may need to close it and open again, or you may be prompted for a password. If you’re not sure of your password or you experience any other problems, please give us a call on 0800 484 363.

Thank you for your patience as we work on resolving this.

The Inspire Net team.

EDIT: The migration has gone smoothly, and mail services now appear to be working normally. If you are still experiencing problems, please contact us on 0800 484 363.

Hi everyone. Our mail servers are going through a well earned upgrade this week after a large increase in email use since the COVID 19 Lockdown. During this process, you may see the odd error message pop up when trying to send or receive email. Our network team are monitoring the situation and are planning to have this all resolved by the end of the week. If you continue to have issues with your email after waiting a few minutes, please feel free to contact our helpdesk on 0800 484 363.

UPDATE 23/7 10:30am: Some updates and changes applied to the mail platform yesterday seem to have improved its stability somewhat, but we're not yet out of the woods. We're planning to update the relevant servers for webmail at 1:00pm today, so customers may find that webmail is briefly unavailable for up to 30 minutes after this point. We appreciate your continued patience as we sort all this out, and expect things to gradually improve from this point.

UPDATE 23/7 2:00pm: The webmail backend server has been updated, and we now expect webmail to be working again at least as well as before, hopefully better. We're continuing to stabilise the whole system as the day wears on.

UPDATE 25/7 11:50am: Our mail services have been struggling again today causing it to reject username and passwords. Our network team are on the case. Apologies for the inconvenience folks.

We are experiencing widespread connectivity issues potentially related to abuse on our network. Technicians are correcting these now.

We're aware of a widespread fault causing intermittent loss of internet for some customers. We have technicians working on the problem now, and hope to have it fixed shortly.

Customers may be experiencing outages from lingering problems caused by a now-corrected equipment glitch. We are in the process of restoring all the affected equipment. If you find yourself without internet access, please try rebooting your router first of all, and waiting a few minutes. If that fails, or if you need help rebooting your router, please give us a call as usual on 0800 484 363.

We're presently seeing some sporadic and intermittent loss of connectivity to specific sites across our network. We have engineers in office working out the issues now. UPDATE 5.34PM - 9/7/2020

Services seem to be back to normal now. If you are still having trouble, please feel free to contact us on 0800 484 363.

Hi Everyone

Quick update regarding the network fault last night:

An important piece of equipment on our network was found to be faulty and caused a lot of services to drop out.

A replacement is on its way!

Until it arrives we will keep an eye on the faulty equipment and make sure to quickly resolve the issue if services drop out again. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi everyone, We are experiencing higher than normal customer call volumes due to the recent Pandemic news from the Government. Some calls may not be connecting. We are trying to increase the number of voice channels with our suppliers to hopefully alleviate this.
