Under National, more of our schools, hospitals, businesses, and rural communities are getting better access to faster broadband.
Faster and more reliable broadband is making a difference to the way firms do business, the way kids learn, and the way health services are delivered to patients.
Connections to broadband have increased by nearly forty per cent over the past quarter, meaning more households, hospitals, businesses, and schools have joined the fibre network.
Here in Auckland 5100 more users connected to Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) in the past quarter. That’s a 39 per cent increase.
National is committed to building world-class fibre infrastructure, because we recognise the long-term gains it will bring.
Faster broadband is critical to growing the economy, driving innovation, and improving outcomes in education, health, and the not-for-profit sector.
More than half a million households, businesses, schools and health centres are now able to connect to the Government’s Ultra-Fast Broadband network, which continues to rollout ahead of schedule.
The UFB rollout will deliver fibre capable of peak speeds of at least 100 Mbps to Kiwis where they live, work, and study. The latest quarterly figures on the UFB rollout show about 536,000 end users are now able to connect to UFB around the country, and a total of 55,000 users are connected, an increase of 39 per cent on the last quarter.
As fibre is rolled out across towns and regions all over the country, we’re seeing more and more Kiwis taking up connections and the benefits of increased speeds and reliability that fibre provides.
Faster broadband is a key part of National’s plan to build a stronger economy, lift wages, and provide the world-class services families need.
Our next step is extending our UFB target from 75 per cent to 80 per cent of New Zealanders having access to world-class connectivity, enabling Kiwis to have access to the best technology they can as they compete on the world stage.
