If you are a Christchurch family, business, school, healthcare facility or community organisation, there is a good chance Enable fibre broadband is available at your place. 150,000 potential users in and around Christchurch can get it now.

Almost 50,000 customers are already connected – meaning businesses and organisations are connecting to customers and delivering services in different ways. Families are living connected lives on their terms and children are embracing new ways to learn.

If you haven’t connected to fibre broadband yet because the benefits mentioned above are not quite enough to convince you, what might help is realising that the benefits of fibre can be greater in winter.

If you have noticed that your connection seems to be affected by the weather – poor service performance or an increase in outages – switching to fibre broadband may resolve the issues for you.

You may also notice that your family spends more time inside on connected devices during the cold and wet months. Not only can fibre withstand environmental factors like rain or cold temperatures, it allows for quicker downloads and uploads, multiple devices can be connected without issues, and it offers a consistent and reliable online experience for your whole family.

What is more, everyone else on your street probably spends more time indoors working, shopping, streaming movies or browsing the web when it is cold. Fibre broadband connections are not impacted during peak times when lots of people are using the network – and it’s during increased demand like this, when a reliable and fast internet connection is essential.

The Leighs family – Chris, Gemma and their three kids – all live connected lives and understand how important continuity of online access has become. They are constantly on their devices doing different things so need the best broadband available, especially when poor weather restricts the family to staying indoors.

Chris said, “We’ve got movies streaming - the kids will be watching one channel and we’ll be watching another channel. We’ll have music going as well and there will always be someone browsing something.” 

Ultra-fast fibre broadband is the best broadband solution available today, and with winter upon us now is an excellent time to upgrade.
