What's the story with this service?
Has anyone got it? Is it legal?
Large one of payment?

what a terrible web site, truly awful, no about, no address, Gmail email account. I would have zero confidence in this.
Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.
Agreed worst website I have seen a in a while.
How ever my colleague has this service including free sport. It appears to be working well for them which makes it pretty tempting...
I don't have it, but it looks and smells bad to me...
A few months ago someone posted about the "sky box" which I believe is similar / maybe even the same thing:
Basically they'll sell you a box running Android and media software like Kodi. It will likely be preloaded overseas streams (that aren't legal). I'm guessing there will also be a massive markup involved.
Looking at their Facebook page, they commented. "our content comes from overseas, - we have no control on what we provide" when someone was asking about rugby. They also only offer a "support facebook group" which appears to only be for people who bought "maintenance plans" https://www.facebook.com/fibretv/ .
No one is going to be able to sell all the content they offer legally, without charging a monthly fee to cover the costs of providing it. Anyone with the dough to start such a service, wouldn't look this shade-tree.
Edit: Streamlined post / fixed some errors I missed.
Judging by their sample screenshot on their website, its just another company using Kodi and some plugins to sell off to people.

As others have said in the other thread there was for a similar service, this is essentially someone reselling a cheap Android Box at a huge markup to make money.
The website is horrible and no official email - I wouldn't trust it as far as you could throw the box when it stops working.
Any comments made are my personal views and does not represent those of my employer
So in theory someone could buy a android tv box and using kodi get all the same content?
All there doing is keeping an updated list of streams for the customers which I guess is a legal loop hole in nz copyright laws...
likely they bought a bunch of cheapies off ali, are reselling for a quick buck before they gap..

If it's not actually illegal, it really should be... If it costs more than about $80 you're paying too much because they are packaging up FREELY AVAILABLE Kodi plugins and streams. They add no real value.

so Facebook reporting really does work. I reported the site about an hour ago.

You probably just managed to block it for yourself. I can see their Facebook page fine. Would stay well away from services like this.

Yeah facebook is still live. Im surprised they have lasted as long as they have, postings started in July on their FB page
They link to https://www.facebook.com/fibretvnz/ on their website, but their FB page appears to (now) be https://www.facebook.com/fibretv/
Looks like they have managed to get banned previously and have just decided to come back with a different page and have forgotten to update their website. Not surprising given the care and class displayer with the website design...

Might pay to simply read all the previous threads of people asking the very same questions about the same sort of devices.
Here's a recent one http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=151&topicid=204902
They all pretty much use illegal streams and you have no guarantee things will always work. Just ask all the people using the Kodi plugin that lost NZ FTA TV channels that were all being illegally streamed from a site intended only for educational users.
The worst one is a nz firm selling via facebook a $60 u.s unit for $340 and thats according to them "on special down from $499"
