Vandalism at a rural wireless tower last month caused broadband outages for StrataNet users at Kaipara, Glorit and South Head.
StrataNet told customers that someone had tried to cut the cables at the tower by ripping them out.
There were also signs of a break-in on site, the company said.
Temporary measures had been made at the site to get the service up and running while permanent repairs could be made, they advised.
StrataNet did not respond to questions from Mahurangi Matters regarding this incident.
The incident follows on the heels of an attack on a Spark-owned communications tower in the Maungaturoto area in January, which saw a large area of the Kaipara district without full mobile phone and internet services for several days.
A tower at Waipu was also vandalised the same month.
