Business owners in Whangarei's central city are being encouraged to connect to Northpower Fibre's award-winning broadband network.
Northpower say the fastest broadband speeds in Northland are now available to more than 600 businesses, with download speeds of 50Mbps and upload speeds of 20Mbps. The 50/20Mbps package is available from numerous retail service providers on the Northpower Fibre network.
