The iiNet Group is working closely with suppliers and wholesalers to assess and repair the damage to affected services in a timely manner. Customers in these regions may experience service disruptions and delays to normal connection times and fault restoration. The impact in the affected region has been greater than initially estimated and as a consequence of continued weather effects, the expected date for resumption of normal service operations has been extended to 11 March 2018.

The exemption shall apply from 29 January 2018 to 11 March 2018 inclusive. This date is indicative only; customers should anticipate that some further delays may occur.
