Telecom Ultra Fibre Now Available in Whangarei
Telecom has today launched Ultra Fibre plans in Whangarei, opening up access to ultra fast broadband (UFB) to homes and
businesses in the city.
Fibre will give Whangarei locals a better quality internet experience than they receive on a standard copper line. This
means a better gaming, Skyping, streaming, downloading and uploading experience for users.
Telecom Ultra Fibre offers simple, competitively-priced ultra fast broadband plans based on a choice of two speeds and a
range of generous data caps. This includes an entry-level 40GB residential plan starting at $85 per month.
The launch follows a successful trial of the fibre product on Northpower Fibre’s infrastructure. Telecom Retail CEO
Chris Quin said he was confident that Whangarei residents will be pleasantly surprised by the installation experience,
which Telecom has fine-tuned over the past 12 months. “We’re thrilled to offer our locals in Whangarei the incredible
experiences fibre brings.
“Ultra Fibre gives customers unprecedented internet speed and performance for their homes or businesses. It will mean
people can upload video files in record time, use stutter-free video conferencing with colleagues around the country or
use multiple devices across a busy home network without congestion; UFB will help New Zealanders unleash their
potential.” Mr Quin says.
“By adopting UFB, New Zealand business are also future-proofing themselves for technologies we can’t even imagine yet
but that will come out over the next 5, 10, 20 years. After all, 15 years ago, how many of us had our email inbox in our
phones? Or had heard of Spotify, Dropbox, Xero or Facebook?”
Residents of streets where fibre infrastructure has been installed by Northpower Fibre can sign up for Ultra Fibre
online at Telecom.co.nz/addresschecker or by calling 123.
The Telecom Business Hub in Whangarei is actively engaging with local businesses to discuss the benefits of next
generation broadband technologies for home offices and small start-ups through to mid-sized corporates. To speak to the
Whangarei Business Hub, customers can call 0800 BUSINESS or visit them in store at 196 Bank Street, Regent, Whangarei.
Today’s announcement follows Telecom’s launch of Ultra Fibre with Chorus in March last year and with Enable across parts
of Canterbury in February.
