We are ceasing the sale of copper services at 116 specified cabinets and 15 reactive cable ranges across 63 locations
Overview
We are ceasing the sale of copper services at 116 specified cabinets and 15 reactive cable ranges across 63 locations. With a newly built and future-proofed fibre broadband network soon to be available to 87% of Kiwis, New Zealand is now less dependent on the copper network for its broadband and phone needs. Chorus is able to withdraw copper in areas where fibre is available.
What’s happening?
Our approach is generally cabinet by cabinet or, for other cables, where reactive maintenance drives withdrawal.
Not every RSP will have customers in these trials, as volumes are small and targeted. Chorus has shared lists of impacted customers and cabinet areas with RSPs ahead of this sixth batch. If you have not been contacted at this time you don't have customers in this batch.
We will continue to maintain and invest in the copper network where it’s needed. In areas where fibre isn’t yet built, or isn’t scheduled for build, our copper network will continue to offer consistent, reliable phone and broadband services.
The details
This Stop Sell notice of Copper Services (initial notice here) covers the following 116 specified cabinets and 15 reactive cable ranges across 63 locations. These cabinets are in addition to those previously notified – full list available here under resources.
