Can a customer on copper buy this now? Or will they have to wait until it's officially launched on copper?

The quick start guide includes both DSL and Fibre instructions so I'd say yes

as a hardware offer, yes (eg specifically purchased). but device we will be handing out for orders otherwise for copper is the 659b - soon as these are gone it will be on all of it.

Oh dear, why did I do that? Apparently 5g is weapons grade, and "they" are going to turn it on and the aluminium in vaccines will make us glow so the government will always be able to track us and kill us all!

Sigh. We let these people vote...

Hey all,

https://www.spark.co.nz/getmore/spark-smart-modem

 

As of this morning, Fibre customers will have a new Default modem. This is the Spark Smart modem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will this be the Skinny default modem from now on as well?

Is there any option to swap the HG659b with this? Number of devices limit raise is appealing...
