Chorus Limited Advances Fibre Network Transition Amid Deregulation Proposal

Chorus Limited ( (CHRUF) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Chorus Limited announced its Q3 FY25 connections update, highlighting significant progress in transitioning from copper to fibre networks. The company disconnected 16,000 copper lines, reducing the total to 107,000, and aims to retire the copper network in fibre areas by mid-2026. The Commerce Commission proposed deregulating copper services due to the availability of alternative technologies. Fibre uptake increased to 72%, with 9,000 new fibre connections added, and the company plans to upgrade its 50Mbps plan to 100Mbps in June. Despite a decline in total fixed-line connections, fibre demand continues to grow, driven by new property developments and increased residential and business usage.
