We've heard you loud and clear, and you've told us that you want a symmetrical 1Gbps service.

 

We aim to please, and can now announce that we have launched a new plan, now available on the Quic website and available to upgrade to if you have an existing service.

 

This plan is the latest in our "Rocket" Hyperfibre line of services, named "Rocket 1G" accordingly - and is available to order on our website, or as an upgrade/downgrade through the Quic portal, from today!

 

This plan is currently only available to customers on the Chorus network, and uses XGS-PON technology (the same technology which delivers Hyperfibre services) to deliver this speed to your door.

 

This does mean that a Chorus Hyperfibre ONT is required in order to obtain this plan. Don't worry if you don't currently have a Hyperfibre ONT, we'll take care of arranging an ONT swap at no cost to you. Once you have a Hyperfibre ONT, this also means you have a seamless path to upgrade you plan to one of our "Rocket" Hyperfibre plans at any time.

 

Diving into the specifics, this plan delivers 1Gbps download and 1Gbps upload symmetrical speeds, with a price tag of $120 per month, slotting in between our current Sprinter and Rocket 2G plans.

 

 

 

Enjoy! 🫡

Now, how much longer until that new ONT rolls out?

 

Seems early 2026 likely.

Well I have an order in place to change to quick on the normal gig plan, so not going to tempt fate by ordering this now and screwing up the change on the 30th, but once the bus sized ONT is not being installed I will give this a serious consideration.

Problem is, there is plenty of stock of the old ONT so Chorus will keep installing this until stock runs out.

 

Apart from being massive and power hungry it isn't bad as it is easy to tuck inside your cabinet or out of the way.

Awesome, I am going to submit to upgrade my ONT and Plan. 

 

Does it impact the static IP?

Nope - This will still be tied to your connection. Only affects the LFC profile/plan.

My ONT is where I have a small area of wooden wall they could drill thru, there is no cabinet there to tuck it into. I will just wait.

 

If people with the large ONT could all have them fail and need to be replaced from the excess stockpile, that would be great.

Just a longer SC-SC Fibre patch cable and you're sorted :)

Issue I have is the ONT was installed in a very poor location, where needs to be wall mounted sitting on the floor will not work.

Likewise, and I am not wanting to thread a patch cable thru the basement to relocate the colossal sized one to the cupboard under the stairs where the rest of the networking stuff is, and dedicate 4 or 5 U of shelf space for it when I can just wait for something sensible sized to come along.

 

AU has now got their multi-gig ONTs revealed, and they have a single port option there as well. Are we going to let the aussies beat chorus?

Chorus already have a Single Outlet ONT, but it is for Buisness only. https://www.chorus.co.nz/help/ont/type-spo-110

 

And their new ONT's are about the same size as the Gen 3 https://sp.chorus.co.nz/product-update/new-onts-selected-and-coming-early





Hmmmm
