See Hyperfibre coverage is expanding from 2 May 2022

 

Even RONZ (Rest of New Zealand) will be able to get Hyperfibre.  Some of these will be rural NGA On Application installs. 

 

In my case for $22k I could potentially go from my present ADSL speed of 2.8 Mbps down / 0.75 Mbps up to 4000 Mbps up and down.

Noice!

do you need 8gbps or would paying 1k for starlink to get 200mbps be sufficient ?

Starlink seems a bit redundant when you can get FTTH... xD

At present a stable 200 Mbps would be sufficient - however who knows the ultimate answer.  It is very hard to predict eg "640 kB ought to be enough for anybody".

 

With Starlink the 200Mbps is very variable eg there are reports of less than 10Mpbs, vs fibre at 300 Mbps is generally a stable 300 Mbps

 

Starlink is $1k to install but $159 per month vs fibre $22k to install and about $85 per month.  After 16 or so years fibre is cheaper 🤑

Kinda a long ROI but will also increase your property value compared to your neighbors  if you move
