New Gigatown Educational offer available for Dunedin schools
Informer 294: 4 November 2015
We’re expanding our gigabit offer in Dunedin to include a further option for schools
What's happening?
Schools played a critical role in the success of Dunedin as our 2014 Gigatown competition winner, so now we’re adding an additional gigabit Bitstream 3a offer for schools in the Dunedin area. This compliments the existing Bitstream 2 gigabit services. The offer will be available from 4 December 2015 to 31 December 2018.
What's the detail?
Education customers have been able to benefit from gigabit services since the beginning of the year, however we realise that some providers prefer to use the Bitstream 3a service structure and shifting to Bitstream 2 would cause additional issues. To meet this need we have developed an additional Bitstream 3a option that prices gigabit at the 100/100 Bitstream 3a education price:
* This price will decrease to $124.29 on the 1st July 2016, $117.86 on 1st July 2017 and $111.43 on 1st July 2018, in line with UFB price path for Education services.
Our Gigatown Educational plan is only available to an approved list of Education Priority Users in Dunedin, as agreed between Chorus and MBIE and listed on the Chorus website at http://www.educationcounts.govt.nz/directories/list-of-nz-schools. All other charges set out in the price list will apply.
To migrate from an existing NGA plan to Gigatown Educational you will need to submit a change plan request. If you are a connecting to a new Gigatown Educational plan you will need to follow the schools process. Your Account Team can help you with both of these.
Gigatown Educational can be offered once you have signed the latest version of the NGA Gigatown Dunedin Initial Offer Trial Agreement. You can view the agreement here, or ask your Account Manager for an executable version.
Once the agreement is signed services can be ordered through the Chorus Portal.
Who do I contact?
If you would like to sign the trial agreement or talk about marketing opportunities and other requirements, please contact your Account Manager.
