For the reference for the people outside of New Zealand, Chorus isn't actually an ISP as such. 30 odd years ago our government deregulated and privatized a bunch of things, including the post office which at the time owned all the phone lines. The entire phone side of things became Telecom, which got further split up in the 2000's to a retail arm, a wholesale arm and an infrastructure arm that owned the copper lines etc. Chorus is that infrastructure arm, which was forcibly spun off into a totally separate company as part of the governments Ultra Fast Broadband (UFB) initiative. Chorus (and several other companies) were awarded government contracts to deploy Fibre to most of the country, pretty much any town with more than a few hundred people, but Chorus got the lions share. There are some pretty strict conditions and partial government ownership because the government is paying, but the end result is that New Zealand now has absolutely world class internet. Any ISP can access this fibre and the backends for the same wholesale price, so you can chose the ISP you like, and the government department responsible for consumer affairs deploys speedtesting kit to volunteers houses to keep the ISPs honest. Unlike the situation in most of the US where you are lucky if you have any choice of ISP, or Australia where NBN is a joke, the vast majority of us Kiwis can get uncapped, unlimited, unthrottled fibre for a very reasonable price. I personally pay about USD$35/month for 100 down 20 up fibre, you can get 950/500 plans for as low as USD$50/month now, and deployment has just started on upgrades to the network to allow synchronous 2gb and 4gb plans. I suspect this ad is part of the campaign to try increase the fibre uptake, I think from memory only about 50% of households that can be connected are, and in a few years they are going to start turning pulling out the copper lines in the fully fibred areas so they don't want a huge rush of installs at the end.
