Through this upgrade more than 190,000 Kiwis are now able to access our best copper broadband connection: vectored VDSL, which can deliver speeds of up to 130Mbps and 70Mbps on average.

From 1 February we have been supporting those who participated to get more Kiwis onto the best available copper broadband services.  Having taken on board your feedback, our team designed an offer that makes it easy for you to promote better broadband options to Kiwis, grow your connection base and maximise your revenue where the Chorus fibre network is not available.  This offer was due to end 31 July, we are delighted to now be able to extend this further to 29 November 2019. 

How does it work?

You will receive a credit for each new connection, upgrade, and transfer with upgrade when you submit an order to the best available copper broadband plan and that meets the criteria.

Orders received within the now extended offer period of 1 August to 29 November 2019 will be eligible and paid on service given 30 days from the offer termination date. If you have already signed then all you need to do is provide your marketing plan of areas you would like to target, if you have not yet signed and wish to participate you will have until 31 July 2019 to sign up to be part of this.
