Stream big New Zealand!

Are you on the best available broadband?

A faster connection equals better streaming. We recommended a fibre plan of 100Mbps or above. If fibre isn’t available upgrade to VDSL.

Choose an unlimited data plan so you don’t have to worry about going over your data cap.

Streaming works best when you connect your modem directly into your TV rather than going over WiFi.

Our favourite streaming media players

All New Zealand’s favourite shows and sports can be found on streaming apps like Netflix, Lightbox, TVNZ OnDemand, ThreeNow and FANPASS.

These popular apps are supported on a range of streaming boxes, casting sticks and smart TVs. Before purchasing, check that your streaming device supports your favourite streaming app.

Whatever you choose, Chorus is bringing you the best broadband to support every connected device in your home.

Casting sticks are portable and affordable

Casting sticks plug straight into the back of your TV — no box required. This means they’re great for adding to secondary TVs, like in your kitchen or bedroom. You need a smartphone or tablet to control them.
