What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Chorus added 5,000 net fibre connections in the September quarter, which partially offset the loss of 4,000 copper lines. Total fixed-line connections increased by 1,000 to 1.192 million. The Commerce Commission plans to continue its independent Measuring Broadband New Zealand programme and expects to appoint a new supplier by mid-2027.
