Pacific Fibre are one step closer to making faster, inexpensive, unlimited broadband a reality with the announcement today of a partnership with Asian telco Pacnet. The guys at Pacific Fibre, Rod Drury among them, have taken on a challenge of epic proportions here and this milestone is no small feat - well done!

   This is really significant for NZ with the effects of Pacific Fibre already being apparent with current upstream pricing changes. This has already assisted Airnet to release aggressivly priced broadband products on our new orange network (shameless plug ) And as their new network comes to life I’m sure we will see further movement with real competition. Bring it on!

   Really cool Rod and team. One step closer to our internet speed being as fast as the rest of the modern world!
