Wouldn't a quick call to Telecom answer that?




Support a locally made Linux based Operating System, try Linux Lite.

12 month contract term include free wireless modem/router and $0 connection fee
no contact term does not include a modem/router and there is $99 connection fee

You can get it installed for free (provided your customer meets connection requirements) but you don't get a free modem on the Total Home Starter Package.

TH Starter offers no free modem for a 12 Month connection, Single user or Wireless.

The wireless modem is now $99, same price as the single port modem. I believe these have been phased out now anyway and have been replaced with the Wireless Thompson 585v8. 

So just the free $99 standard Broadband connection with a 12 Month term.

TH Lite or above offers free Wireless modem + standard broadband connection with a 12 Month term.


EDIT: Spelling errors

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.

I'm sure if you rung up and asked real nicely they would be able to throw in a modem in exchange for contract
