We are pleased to confirm launch dates for Hyperfibre nationwide rollout & RGW ONT early release: 

• Hyperfibre UFB1 nationwide launch – 12 October 2020
• RGW ONT early release launch – 2 November 2020

We are glad to be launching two of our latest & greatest products in 2020 where demand for fibre is reaching unprecedented levels.

What’s happening

In our previous update  for Hyperfibre we indicated some risk with meeting the original launch date 30 September 2020. We can now confirm the new launch date as 12 October 2020 (delayed by 7 working days).

In our last  update  for RGW ONT, we said early release functionality would be available on 27 October 2020. We can now confirm the new launch date for early release is 2 November 2020 (delayed by 4 working days).

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been carefully reviewing and monitoring some challenges in meeting the original proposed timeline for both products. The decision to delay has not been taken lightly. The recent Covid-19 level 3 restrictions in Auckland coupled with delays to Portal and  B2B  changes mean we are forced to move the launch dates for Hyperfibre & RGW ONT early release.

We understand the need to be transparent and give you certainty on launch dates as it has a direct impact on when you can make these products available in market.
