UFB price changes on 1 July 2018
On 1 July 2018 we’ll be changing some prices for our fibre services.
Pricing for a number of Evolve, Accelerate and Education plans will be updated as part of our annual pricing adjustment in accordance with our obligations to Crown Infrastructure Partners (CIP).
This year we have also chosen to adjust the Accelerate 100/20 plan to rebalance the plans in terms of performance and value within the fibre portfolio and the wider fibre market.
The Chorus UFB service agreement price list currently provides prices for most NGA plans. The updated version will have all plans, from 1 July 2018. Note that price changes apply to the following offers in Appendix 2 of the Price List, specifically.
