Our 'Always Connected' promise

We know you love to be online, especially at home. That’s why if you have your home broadband with One NZ and one of our latest mobile plans, we’re making sure you and your family stay connected

Our ‘Always Connected’ promise

If your home broadband stops working and we can’t fix it straight away, we’ll use NZ’s leading mobile network to give you enough mobile data so everyone in your house stays connected while we get it sorted. We call it our ‘Always Connected’ promise.The data can be applied for up to four eligible One NZ consumer mobiles in your household. And, by setting up Wi-Fi hotspots from these mobiles, you can instantly connect all other devices in your home.

Always Connected data is available for a period of seven days once allocated. It will expire either once you have used up the data allowance, or at the end of the seven days. Should issues persist outside of the seven day window, you may apply to extend the Always Connected period.
Always Connected data is for use in New Zealand only.
Always Connected data is in addition to your base plan data and will be used before your normal plan data allowance.

Minimising outages to keep you connected


We know how important it is to stay connected, and how frustrating it is when your internet or phone connection goes down. But sometimes it does happen.

Outages can occur for two reasons: planned outages allow us to carry out essential upgrades to provide better coverage in future, while unplanned outages occur when something unexpectedly goes wrong and disrupts service.

We have people working 24/7 to minimise disruption and get connectivity back and up and running as quickly and safely as we can.

To see if there’s an outage in your area, visit one.nz/outages
