About
This online resource has been collated to encourage the uptake and utilisation of New Zealand’s Ultra-Fast Broadband (fibre Internet) initiative. We believe by making appropriate and innovative use of this technology it will have a positive impact for the country. Content comes from a variety of sources and we encourage individuals and businesses to contribute.
The website will expand over time to include news, press releases, coverage maps, pricing plans, photographs and other information about UFB in NZ.
The UFB.org.nz website started out a page collated by the NZ Tech Podcast. Paul Spain (host of the NZ Tech Podcast) is primary editor of the UFB.org.nz resource. The website is hosted by Gorilla Voice.
