Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby says he is pleased at the level of Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) uptake locally, and he is encouraging all local residents to find out how they can maximise the benefits of access to the network.
"Having Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) available in Tauranga means greater opportunities for our residents, schools and businesses," Mr Crosby said.
"Tauranga is New Zealand's fastest growing city and people here are taking up UFB more quickly than most other parts of the country.
"Fast and reliable internet allows us to keep advancing and the UFB network means we are just as competitive in infrastructure as we are in lifestyle."
To celebrate the completion of the network, Ultrafast Fibre Limited is holding a 'Beyond Broadband' Expo at Baycourt, from March 11 to 12.
