Ideal for large businesses with complex connectivity requirements
Overview
Whether in response to a global crisis or growing demand for remote working, IT departments must deliver the best technology and connectivity experience as they embrace an ever-changing business landscape and adapt to the needs of their employees and their customers.

Improve your reach
Reach more of your customers via our extended Business Premium footprint that includes Chorus UFB, non-Chorus LFC UFB areas and Rural areas too. Additional build charges may apply and these will be confirmed after you have placed your feasibility application with us.
The Business Premium plans will be available in Chorus UFB, LFC UFB and Rest of NZ. Note that:
- availability outside of Chorus UFB areas will be subject to feasibility checks that could result in network extension (fibre build) costs being required.
Benefit from proactive fault management
Proactive Assure is a capability that enables our Assure team to automatically receive a fault ticket in the event of an alarm. This allows us to proactively investigate faults affecting Business Premium circuits, like what we do for network outages.
24/7 hot cutovers - upgrade your customers with ease
Upgrading to Business Premium is easy with 24/7 hot cutovers. Chorus will be able to re-use the existing fibre and quickly switch over to the new product during an agreed two-hour outage window, minimising any disruption and risk.
Improve your margin
High bandwidth and HTC-only circuits make it simpler for you to configure and provide a more robust solution to your customers.
Our FLASH Business Offer (available from 1 July 2023) also extends to Business Premium, offering great features and easy connection. This presents a significant opportunity to reduce your costs and migrate your HSNS Premium connections to Business Premium.

Benefits to retail service providers
- Speed: symmetrical speed provides High Traffic Class (HTC) bandwidth from 1Gbps to 10Gbps.
- Proactively investigating faults with Proactive Assure: it’s important to us that you experience a premium assure and management service. The Ethernet service operations, administration, and management (OAM) feature enables you to self-diagnose and self-assure your network by having great visibility of what’s happening in our network. *
- Cost savings: it’s delivered over our world class fibre network and infrastructure using the same handovers as other fibre services, and supports diversity options and NGA Tail Extension Service (TES).**
* OAM feature for Business Premium is limited to an E-NNI MIP only.
** 1Gbps TES is available now. 4Gbps and 10Gbps TES will be launched on 1 June 2023.
Benefits to businesses
- Reliable performance: a dedicated access solution allowing you to work without worrying about the bandwidth performance and to get more done in a workday. Further, if you plan on transitioning to network-based cloud services, rather than hosting your own applications, you’ll need the bandwidth capacity of fibre Ethernet access to avoid performance problems and the resulting effect on productivity.
- Enhanced security and resiliency: we help ensure critical business data is delivered without interruption.
- Network configuration: you’ll have the flexibility and control to route traffic or allocate bandwidth (voice, Internet, data, etc.), depending on the network needs of specific locations, the applications you need to run and the volume of users you need to support.
Other benefits
- Upgrade made easy: To facilitate a quick and easy upgrade of your enterprise customers to Business Premium, we’ve introduced 24/7 hot cutovers. Chorus will be able to reuse the existing fibre and quickly switch over to the new product during an agreed 2-hour outage window, minimizing any disruption and risk.
- Unmatched installation experience: With Premium Business FLASH, up to $2000 installation credit, free managed provisioning, and free 24/7 hot cutover.
- Lots of bandwidth: Circuits made up of High Traffic Class bandwidth only are simpler for you to configure and provide a more robust solution to your customers. And with up to 10Gbps speeds you can meet the most demanding customer needs.
