Chorus highlights Wireless Broadband fine print in latest campaign blitz via Saatchi & Saatchi

The campaign shines a light on the potential drawbacks of wireless broadband, such as needing to share your broadband connection through a cell tower, signal fluctuations depending on environmental factors, and slower internet speeds during peak usage times.

In contrast, fibre broadband offers a dedicated connection from the street to the premise – resulting in superior service. Regular industry reports, such as Measuring Broadband NZ (MBNZ) from the Commerce Commission, reveal through independent testing that fibre consistently outperforms fixed wireless in terms of reliability, speed, latency and consistency.

“Competition is heating up in the broadband market and consumers are increasingly valuing quality broadband in our digitally connected world,” says Matthew Daunt, Brand Lead – Marketing at Chorus. “Our goal is to help consumers to make informed choices when it comes to choosing the right broadband option for their needs.”

“The problem is consumers may not know what trade-offs they’re making when choosing their broadband and many don’t realise that not all broadband technologies are created equal. We confidently back fibre over other technologies and want to see more Kiwis enjoy the benefits of this world-class technology,” adds Daunt.

Says Steve Cochran, Saatchi & Saatchi Chief Creative Officer: “These days, most of us have become all too accustomed to skipping the fine print and signing up to services without knowing all the finer details. With confusion already being rife in the market around the different ways broadband technologies behave, we thought what better way to highlight the differences and limitations than by using the very words providers use in their fine print.”

The campaign starts today and will run across online TV, radio, OOH and digital display.
