We’ve Boosted! What this means for you

From 16 June 2025, we’ve upgraded our Home Fibre plans. These changes are now live, but while some documents on this site may still reference the old plan names, rest assured, the new speeds apply. Find out more.

The following Chorus business products predominantly cater for this segment of the market:

  • NGA Evolve (Bitstream 2 Business)
    NGA Evolve provides entry level fibre broadband to businesses, speeds up to ~1Gb (*)/500Mb, any connection issues resolved by 7pm on the following day (**).
  • NGA Business (Bitstream 3/a)
    NGA Business provides greater speeds – low class traffic up to 1Gb (*)symmetrical, high class traffic up to 100Mb symmetrical, a better provisioning experience and prioritised resolution of faults – including restoration within 1 day(**).

We’ve recently undertaken business research, aimed at key decision makers within businesses across New Zealand. Key insights show that businesses:

  • have a high dependency on technology and hence require any connection outage to be restored quickly,
  • on a business fibre plan are more satisfied than businesses on a consumer fibre plan,
  • on fibre are more satisfied than those on copper.


What’s happening?

We are looking at developing a new business product targeting New Zealand SME’s:

  • the new product would offer similar features to Bitstream 2 but also include ‘restoration within 1 day’ (**) service level,
  • it would  provide three access speed variants e.g. 100Mb down/100Mb up, 200/200, 1/1 Gb (*),
  • the new product is likely to be offered at pricing between Bitstream 2 Business and Bitstream 3.

Next steps

Your account lead will get in touch with you between now and 21 November to get your feedback on this potential new product.
