Faster Broadband Speeds Now Available to Many New Zealand Homes
Published
Many New Zealand households can now get much faster internet than before. Plans with speeds of one gigabit per second (1Gbps) or faster currently make up 22% of Chorus connections. This means that some customers could receive internet speeds that are up to three times faster than the ones they use today.
Chorus is the largest wholesale fibre network provider in New Zealand. Its fibre network connects homes and businesses across the country, and internet providers use this network to sell plans to their customers. Because more people are choosing faster options, the share of high-speed connections is growing. For families who stream videos, play online games, or work from home, a faster connection can make a noticeable difference.
However, faster plans are not automatically available to everyone. Whether a household can access a 1Gbps plan depends on where they live and whether their area has been connected to the fibre network. Customers who are unsure should check with their internet provider to see which speeds are available at their address. Plans with faster speeds may also cost more than standard plans, so people should compare prices carefully before they make a change.
In conclusion, faster broadband is becoming more common in New Zealand, and more than one in five Chorus connections now offers speeds of 1Gbps or higher. Readers who want to improve their internet speed should contact their provider to find out what options are available in their area.
