Telecom New Zealand Introduced New VDSL Service

Telecom New Zealand (TNZ) introduced the ultra VDSL service to provide Ultra VDSL to customers for FTTH application. VDSL (which stands for Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) offers the best Internet experience currently available via traditional copper phone lines. Customer on Telecom Ultra VDSL will be able to download files and online content on average around three times as fast, and upload nearly ten times as fast, as conventional (ADSL) broadband.

“Our customers tell us that they want faster, better broadband, and they want it now. While we are convinced that fiber will be the main driver of New Zealand’s future internet connectivity, fewer than one in ten Kiwis can get fiber today and its availability will not match half of current broadband infrastructure for three of four years yet, but current estimates. In contrast, around 60% of New Zealanders currently live and work in areas where VDSL is great solution for better, faster broadband right now. VDSL can play a vital roe in satisfying consumer’s immediate demands for a smoother, faster internet experience.”

Almost two-thirds of households and business can reach speeds of 15Mbsp-70Mbps, qualified users can select type of package. As Telecom views VDSL as a stepping stone to fibre when it become available in a particular area, the company has committed to ensuring Ultra VDSL customers have the flexibility to upgrade their connection when making the decision to shift to Telecom Ultra Fiber in the feature. Ultra Fiber’s even greater speed, capacity and consistency of service (as well as lower latency) than copper broadband means it will be the connection of choice for customer with a rapid growing demand for data.

“The products, service and experiences our customer lovers, such as streaming entertaining programming, sports viewing, social media and real-time business applications, are increasingly going online. We recognise our role in ushering in this new era of Internet connectivity with the best online experience possible via the best communication technology on offer,” Mr Quin commented.
