As a result of the Government's Ultra-Fast Broadband Investment Initiative, you could soon have access to ultra-fast broadband at speeds 50 times quicker than what’s considered fast today!

Fibre optic cable’s enormous capacity to carry all sorts of data will change the way you live, work and play. Entertain yourself with thousands of high definition channels, or work worldwide from your virtual office at home.

As online applications catch up with fibre’s unlimited potential the possibilities are endless.

That's why Vector supports the rollout of fibre to the door across New Zealand.  Vector wants to install fibre to the door in Auckland and has a plan to reach over 450,000 customers within seven years, and also supports rollout to the rest of the country through the efforts of its fellow New Zealand Regional Fibre Group members.

So let’s not draw the short straw.  Continuing with any network that still relies on copper – like fibre to your neighbourhood then old-fashioned copper wire the rest of the way – will mean continuing to put up with bottlenecks, restricted speeds and traffic jams.

Make sure the Government’s ultra-fast broadband network is ultra-fast all the way with fibre to the door.  Have your say today.

Fibre vs. Copper

Fibre is the most stable, reliable and high capacity medium for data communication. Around the world, it’s replacing the existing copper networks that have supported traditional telecommunications.

Copper was around for the birth of the telephone over 120 years ago, but is rapidly reaching its maximum potential. Fibre has been developed for the new world of computer technology and multimedia communications, with virtually boundless potential to ensure we have a platform to support our future generations.

For example, a single strand of fibre (thinner than a human hair) could support every NZer making a phone call and browsing the internet simultaneously.
