Getting the best out of your broadband

The Chorus network works hard to deliver the best broadband service available, but it doesn’t work in isolation. There are a whole host of other things that could be standing in the way of you and a better broadband experience at home. The good news is that many of these things are within your control to change. Knowing what steps you can take to improve your broadband performance – from upgrading your connection to simply shifting your modem – will give you a much better browsing experience.

Best connection

Almost two thirds of households on our network could get a better connection, whether fibre or VDSL, but are yet to do so. Our broadband checker will tell you if you fall into this group – if so, it might be time to call your provider to discuss upgrading to a better connection.
