Meeting to get UFB rolling
A public meeting to gauge support for ultra-fast broadband (UFB) in Tamahere is on this Thursday, May 5 at the Tamahere Community Centre from 7.30pm.
He says it’s a one-off opportunity to get Tamahere and Matangi serviced by ultra-fast broadband (UFB) and give the area fast internet at an affordable price.
Initially, the council has sought the views of 1400 locals in a survey designed to indicate the likely demand for faster internet speeds, and whether residents are prepared to contribute to installation costs.
Hayes urged those receiving the survey to give a “strong show of support.”
The council will also send a copy of the survey to any other residents who wish to complete it. Phone the council on 0800 492 592 or 07 824 8633 or email consult@waidc.govt.nz The deadline for the survey response is Friday, May 20.
