Chorus said it has located the fault that has knocked out internet services to nearly 7500 customers in West Auckland.

The Chorus outage is impacting Te Atatū, Henderson, and Massey - with people unable to access the internet via their fibre connections since 5.30am on Saturday.

The fixed-line telecoms and infrastructure company said several copper and fibre cables had been damaged.

It said the repairs are complex, due to multiple cables and the location of the problem, and it is not expected to be restored until Sunday.

Chorus said repair crews are working as fast as they can
