Are all fibre broadband providers basically the same?

At first glance, it might look like all fibre providers are identical. After all, they’re all using the same Chorus cables to get fibre into your home.

And that part’s true: the physical fibre line is the same no matter which provider you choose. But the experience you get as a customer isn’t the same at all.

Here’s why:

• Same line, different service.
  Every ISP connects you to fibre, but the way they handle things like installation, customer support, contracts, and extras can make a massive difference.
• Speeds and reliability.
  On fibre, you can actually get the speeds you pay for, unlike wireless where performance can vary. With Electric Kiwi broadband, you can choose from Fibre 100 up to Gigabit, all delivered over the 2degrees network – one of the fastest and most reliable in NZ.
• Contracts (or not).
  Some providers will tie you in for 12 or 24 months. At Electric Kiwi, there are no contracts, no exit fees. Stay because you want to, not because you have to.
• Router flexibility.
  Other ISPs often push a locked-in modem rental. With us, you choose: bring your own, rent or buy one from us. No contracts required.
• One Simple Bill.
  If you’re already with us for power, adding broadband means fewer bills, fewer logins, fewer headaches. Just one clear monthly invoice.

Bottom line:

Fibre might be equal on the street, but it’s not equal in your home. If you want fast, reliable broadband without sneaky contracts or hidden costs, Electric Kiwi is the smart choice.
