Eight out of 10 New Zealand homes and businesses can now get VDSL – very fast copper broadband – so you can enjoy a faster, more reliable service with less buffering for streaming TV, movies and video calling.

A few months ago, Chorus upgraded their existing copper network to improve VDSL broadband technology in line with copper broadband services in other parts of the world. This upgrade means faster broadband speeds and greater stability on their copper lines.

Since the upgrade, the average download speed for VDSL nationally has jumped from 35Mbps to 50Mbps, and VDSL has been made available to around 175,000 more homes and businesses across the country. This makes VDSL a great alternative if fibre isn’t an option for you now or in the future.

Along with a better, faster broadband experience, Chorus have made it easier for your broadband provider to upgrade you to VDSL too. If it’s available at your address, they may be able to upgrade you without a technician visiting your place.
