UBER Group Top Performer in Ultra Fast Broadband (UFB)

Northland-based Ultra-fast Broadband provider, UBER Group are again set to go "one-up" on larger UFB providers with the release of their new fibre plans for both residential and business customers.

UBER Group are to release two new fibre plans with free local calling as standard and significantly faster upload and download speeds than is currently available from much larger players.

“These plans are extremely attractive,” says UBER Managing Director Hayden Simon. “These unrivaled plans are not just a first for Northland; no other provider offers anything like this in New Zealand,” he said.

The provision of these 50mbit download and upload speeds coupled with 150Gbyte ($99) or 250G ($199) monthly caps, to both residential and business customers offers significant performance advantages at competitive prices, over what is currently available.

Since being named among the preferred providers of UFB services in March this year, UBER Group has been quick to expand the delivery of superior internet and voice services to existing and new customers.

“We are very happy to be delivering on our promises so quickly,” says Hayden. “The timing has been right, the planning has been right, we have the right people in place and now we are seeing UFB in Northland out-perform the rest of the country. It‟s very encouraging.”
