Technology correspondent Bill Bennett looks at Chorus' plan to extend the fibre network further into rural New Zealand, which has made it onto the Infrastructure Commission priorities programme. It would cost $2b to extend fibre from 87 to 95 percent of the country, but an NZIER report two years ago found those connections could bring $17b in benefits.
He'll also look at the tough times at Spark, and why Spark and One NZ have recently raised broadband prices - higher than inflation. But did you notice your fibre speeds got a bump this month?
