Fibre network promoted

Omaha, Leigh, Warkworth and Sandspit households and businesses who have not yet switched to fibre broadband are invited to meet Chorus representatives on February 15 and 16.

Fibre has been available in Omaha, Leigh, Warkworth and Sandspit for quite some time. Chorus general manager of customer and network operations Andrew Carroll says there could be any number of reasons why some households have not yet made the switch.

“Whether it is not being aware fibre is available, not knowing how to get connected or thinking it’s expensive to connect, we want to dispel any myths and give people the right information about just how easy it is to make the change,” he says.

Invitations have been sent to all Omaha, Leigh, Warkworth and Sandspit addresses with mail delivery, that are not currently connected to the fibre network, but could be. However, the Chorus team is happy to talk to anyone who drops by.

“The best news of all is that it is usually free to bring fibre from the street into a home and if people who come to the event are keen to get fibre immediately, we can even get the process started for them there and then,” Mr Carroll said.

Chorus will be at the following locations at the times stipulated.

Tuesday, February 15: Omaha Beach Golf Club, from 10.30am to midday; Leigh Community Hall, from 3pm to 6pm.

Wednesday, February 16: Warkworth RSA, from 3pm till 6pm.

My Vaccine Pass and mask wearing is required. If you are unable to attend, but still have some questions, email communityrelations@chorus.co.nz and Chorus will arrange for some to call.
