Moving House?
In most cases we can transfer your current contract to your new premises for $99, or take on a new 24 month contract for free. Some conditions do apply, so it is best to talk with our helpdesk team. If you are currently on contract, any exit fees are usually waived when transferring existing contracts or taking on a new 24 month contract, 30 day’s notice will still apply while services are changed over.
Moving out of Taranaki? Have a chat to our team, we may still be able to connect you!
You can register a house move using this form. We will create the job, do the signal testing and then be in touch closer to the time and book the install – easy!

Over Usage
On our capped 250GB plan we don’t slow you down when you reach your data cap, it’s always ultra-fast and we have a super low over usage cost of only $1.00 per GB (incl GST).
Connection Performance
Actual user speeds will vary and are affected by various factors including the hardware and software used, number of devices, time of day, and where the data is coming from.
In order to get the best performance out of your Primo Fibre connection, we recommend;
▶ A quality modem that is capable of supporting ultrafast speeds, such as the Fritzbox provided by Primo for fibre connections.
▶ A high-spec laptop or PC, running the latest operating system with all drivers up to date.
▶ For optimum speeds cabling directly to your modem with an ethernet cable is better than Wi-Fi, which can have a large impact on speed.
