Documents released to RNZ show the government turned down an offer by Spark to invest millions in network resilience.
The offer came in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle - when phone and internet networks went down.
Spark offered to divert millions of dollars it planned to spend on a 5G rollout, and instead invest in network resilience.
Phil Pennington spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
