Spark struggles under tsunami of fault reportsSONIA PINTO/FAIRFAX NZ Spark is receiving 6000 fault reports a day in wake of wet weather, but says it's not its equipment that's being damaged. The company pointed the finger at network company Chorus, saying the faults were being caused by water damage to Chorus' copper network. The "sad reality" was that Chorus' network was "many decades old and highly vulnerable to wet weather", Spark said in a statement. "Chorus' copper network is of a high quality and provides a fantastic service to millions of people every day. Beattie rejected the claim that the age of its copper network was a factor.
