Fibre alert to our community

Published on November 23^rd 2009, 10:04am

The Government wants fibre and so do we. The reasons are simple.

As a community-owned lines/fibre company, Northpower is committed to giving back to the community. Because we have long provided such critical regional infrastructure, fibre (super-fine glass strands) is a natural addition.

Fibre allows ‘speed of light’ information transfer of emails, video conferences, movie downloads and more. In contrast to aging technology like copper, fibre does not suffer from signal loss, interference or network overload.
Fibre at 100MBit/s makes today’s copper broadband look like dial-up.

A new Fibre to the premises network will also be reliable and consistent ensuring that it is available when you want it. The local presence also means that when there is a fault, it is fixed promptly.

That’s why it’s so critical to NZ’s future economic efficiencies and productivity, regionally and nationally.

As part of the New Zealand Regional Fibre Group – comprising of 17 lines and fibre companies effectively covering the length and breadth of the country – we will bid (by January 29) for some of the Government’s $1.5 billion ultra-fast broadband funding.

Just like electricity was a revolution early last century, we are committed to delivering the 21st century equivalent – fibre.
