The final two deals to deliver ultra-fast broadband to New Zealanders were signed this week. Deals with Telecom partner Chorus and Canterbury's Enable Networks complement those signed last year with Northpower and WEL Networks.
The nationwide network will deliver broadband speeds of 100 Mbps and higher to 75 per cent of Kiwis where they live, work, and study by 2019.
Vastly improved broadband speeds is a key part of National's plan to build a stronger economy, lift wages, and provide world-class health and education services. The Government’s $1.5 billion investment will be at least matched by its commercial partners, bringing Kiwis the best network at minimal costs to taxpayers.
National’s plans for faster broadband will see New Zealand leapfrog its competitors to become one of the world’s most connected countries.
