Are you planning to roll out to the whole country quickly, or slowly?  There's not much UFB competition in Whanganui (UFF area) at the moment :-(

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Also, are you going to offer 100/50 or are they replacing that with 100/20? 20Mbps isn't enough for me :P

the 100/50 is the regulated product.  We'll be sticking with the new ones that go up to 200Mbps upload  (so the top end plan will be 200/200)

I think you'll be pleased with the pricing.  :)

Me too, I know the deployment takes time, but you'd think they would have developed a plan for all areas by now
