There aren't any major international cables to the south island. The big one is the southern Cross cable that lands on either side of Auckland, which is the north of the North Island, which is operating normally.
KAREN (The Kiwi Advanced Research Network) core in the south island is still operating, but most of the member sites in Christchurch are down: http://karen.net.nz/news-earthquake-network-update/
News is reporting deaths now, sadly. On 22/02/11 16:04, Marshall Eubanks wrote:
There has been a bad Earthquake in Christchurch New Zealand with reports of fatalities. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150099324847752&set=a.125583977751.103665.119452527751&theater Telecom New Zealand reports "Heavy damage" to their Christchurch building, but no deaths there. Is there any report of issues with the undersea cables to / from the South Island ? Regards Marshall P.S. On a more personal note, Google has a people finder up @ http://christchurch-2011.person-finder.appspot.com/ There is a DFAT # - 1300 555 135 - for people outside of NZ to call. Telecom New Zealand has asked people to stay off of the wireless network except for true emergencies.
