NZ Communications: Businesses Want Reliable Broadband
January 29th, 2010
Businesses struggling with inconsistent, and at times non-existent, broadband services are calling for improved internet access and speed. Many are pinning their hopes on the Govt’s ultra-fast broadband initiative to allow organisations such as local lines and fibre companies to establish extensive regional fibre networks, catering for urban and rural customers,
The NZ Regional Fibre Group members say there’s a need for far greater consistency and reliability of broadband connections. Quality and reliability are key attributes on the broadband wish list. But they are struggling to get it from current operators and have had to resort to establishing their own networks. The group’s members have launched their own fibre in a number of towns and cities, including Whangarei and Christchurch.
Ten companies within the NZRFG have fibre networks underway - Vector, Aurora Energy, CityLink, Counties Power, Electricity Ashburton, Network Tasman, Unison and Velocity
