About outage monitoring in New Zealand
This page groups tracked service updates that mention this country or a datacenter region there. A country mention does not by itself confirm local impact or monitoring of every service used there. Check the linked provider update for the affected product, region and users.
What we monitor
GlobalOutageMap aggregates updates from connected official service status sources. This page groups updates that mention this country or a datacenter region there. That does not establish comprehensive local ISP coverage, affected resident counts or countrywide service health.

When to check this page
Users in New Zealand should check this page if they experience widespread digital issues that aren't isolated to a single device or application. This includes situations where multiple, seemingly unrelated apps fail simultaneously, online payment transactions are consistently declined, or login attempts result in continuous loops or errors across several services. If an essential app appears completely broken across different devices or networks, it may indicate a broader service disruption. It is always recommended to also consult the specific provider's official status page for the most direct and detailed information regarding their service health.

FAQ: New Zealand outages
Is the internet down in New Zealand?
General internet connectivity across all of New Zealand is rarely completely 'down'. More commonly, specific internet service providers (ISPs) or segments of the network may experience localised outages. This page aggregates reports from multiple sources to indicate if a widespread telecommunication issue is impacting connectivity across a significant portion of the country, or if a particular ISP is facing a major disruption. If only some websites or applications are inaccessible, it is more probable that the issue lies with those services rather than your entire internet connection.
Which cloud regions serve New Zealand?
Major hyperscale cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) operate data centre regions that serve New Zealand. While some have a direct presence within New Zealand, others serve the region from nearby locations in Australia, such as Sydney or Melbourne. These regional data centres host the infrastructure that underpins a vast array of online services, making their operational status critical for digital availability across New Zealand. The specific region used by a service depends on its configuration and user traffic patterns.
Why do apps go down even when my connection works?
Even if your local internet connection is functional, applications can become unavailable due to issues with the underlying cloud infrastructure they rely on. Many popular applications and websites run on shared cloud platforms hosted by providers like AWS, Azure, or GCP. An outage in one of these critical cloud regions, or a failure in a specific component such as a database service or content delivery network, can render numerous applications inaccessible, regardless of your personal internet status. This highlights the architectural dependencies within the modern digital ecosystem.
How quickly is this page updated?
This page is updated continuously through an automated ingestion pipeline that processes data from official provider status pages, API feeds, and real-time community reports. The system is designed to detect and flag potential incidents as they emerge, providing a near real-time view of the digital landscape. It is important to note that GlobalOutageMap functions as an aggregator and analyser of public signals; it does not generate official outage declarations. While efforts are made for speed, there can be a brief delay between an incident occurring and its reflection on this platform.
What should I do during an outage in New Zealand?
During an outage affecting services in New Zealand, the primary recommendation is to remain patient and avoid attempting repeated actions like redeploying services or reinstalling applications, as this can sometimes exacerbate issues. The most effective first step is to check the official status page of the affected service provider for definitive updates and estimated resolution times. This page can offer broader context, but the provider's page is the authoritative source. If an outage is widespread, consider alternative methods for critical tasks, if available, and monitor public announcements for service restoration.
