How do I get fibre broadband at my home?

Lisa Heatley from Enable Fibre Broadband

Easy! Just call your broadband retailer and ask to be switched to fibre broadband - you can check it's available first by going to our website www.enable.net.nz...
If you're in our coverage area, your retailer will contact us and we'll call you to arrange this in three steps. If you own your own home and don't share a driveway, usually fibre connections will go something like this:
1. PLAN - meet you at your home to agree a plan on how to get fibre to your home
2. BUILD - you don't need to be home for this, we'll do the build we agreed on
3. CONNECT! We'll visit your home again to finish setting up your fibre broadband connection.
Better yet - if you're in the Christchurch City Council area, order fibre before 30 November and you'll go in the draw to win one of ten $100 gift vouchers to Christchurch stores. www.enable.net.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
