Currently, the average download speed across Chorus' networks is 30.5 megabits per second (Mbps). Gigabit broadband offers real world download speeds approaching 1,000Mbps and uploads of 500Mbps. This is equivalent to uploading 25 high resolution images to Facebook in under five seconds; downloading 25 MP3 songs in a second or streaming ultra-HD movies to 40 different devices simultaneously. Chorus' Gigabit broadband service will run at the maximum speed the network electronics allows today. In practice, this means customers will see download speeds between 900Mbps and 970Mbps and upload speeds of up to 500Mbps. Chorus' residential wholesale gigabit broadband will be available to broadband retailers at an introductory price of $60 per month until 30 June 2017 after which it increases to $65 per month. The business service will be priced at $75 per month from launch. Existing fibre customers looking to upgrade to a gigabit plan will not require a Chorus technician to visit their home.
