Once completed, the additional fibre infrastructure will mean high-speed data access for thousands of homes and businesses.
The additional network expansion is a joint venture between UFF and the Government’s Crown Infrastructure Partners agency.
UFF Chief Executive, William Hamilton, says the demand for fibre is continuing to grow, and like other places without fibre, these smaller communities can’t get high speed broadband soon enough.
“We’d like to be able to offer connections to these latest communities immediately, however apart from a few cases where we might be extending an existing build already underway, it is likely to be a couple of years before this latest phase of work is planned and completed,” says Mr Hamilton.
Roll-out completion is scheduled for the end of 2019.
However, he says these communities can plan with certainty that they are included in Ultra-fast Broadband roll out.
As well as Te Kowhai and Rotokauri, there are other areas to be covered as part of the UFB2+ programme. They are: Omokoroa, Matapihi and Aongatete in the Bay of Plenty; Tamahere/Matangi/Tauwhare Pa, Tauwhare, Cambridge North, Hautapu, Kihikihi, Templeview, Tirau and Parkdale in Waikato; and The Mercade and Brixton in Taranaki.
