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 business grade ones 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.

▶All equipment supplied to you during the installation remains either the property of PrimoWireless Ltd or the Local Fibre Company (LFC).

▶Primo gear supplied may be pre-loved, this is our way to reduce, reuse and recycle.

▶The router supplied remains the property of Primo. Primo will manage the router, and configuration changes can only be performed by Primo.

▶Primo will supply a replacement if your router fails unless you are found to be at fault, in which case you will be charged for the replacement.

▶A $199 (excl GST) charge will be added to your final account if your router is not returned within 14 days should you choose to disconnect from Primo.

Plan changes can be requested at any time, and take effect on 1st of the month.

Plan Changes requiring a speed change, incur a fee of one month’s charge of the new plan, or sign a new contract and it’s free.

Business Continuity Wireless Backup

Add to your Fibre Connection

______

One off install of $299* (ex GST)

Have a backup plan – Keep your business moving forward 24/7,

protect it and your peace of mind with a Primo Business Continuity Plan.

For Taranaki Businesses, your Primo unlimited Ultra-Fast Fibre plan includes our wireless backup service, for a one off install cost you get two services each month for the price of one!

A large portion of business is done online, so any downtime leads to lost sales, decreased productivity and damage to your reputation.  Loss of connectivity is a serious threat to your business.  The solution to a loss of connectivity is a backup up wireless connection.

▶ Protect your business from expensive outages

▶ Stay connected via phone and internet throughout outages

▶ Remain open for business

▶ Set up a remote site quickly or keep remote sites open during outages

▶ Peace of mind for you, employees, and customers

The process is quite simple and straightforward.  Alongside your Fibre connection our own technicians will conduct a site survey to determine the best location for our equipment.  Ideally, this location is protected, yet accessible if needed, and has the best signal availability.  From there, the equipment is installed and plugged into a router that is configured to handle the failover.

So, if the fibre connection goes down, the wireless connection comes up on an as-needed basis.

And, if your fibre installation is delayed for any reason we can get you up and running over the wireless connection faster!

*Subject to signal testing and Primo’s wireless coverage area.  Install costs are based on line of sight to our current towers and additional setup costs may occur if a pole, or extra cable, etc is needed to raise the antenna to achieve line of sight.
