Additional data charges
Additional data packs are only available for capped wireless broadband plans and charged at $10 for 10GB. Data packs are either automatically or manually applied.

There is only one automatically applied data pack available per month. There are 4 manual data packs available for purchase per month for the capped wireless broadband plans. Data packs are available for use for 30 days from purchase.
Mercury will send you an email and/or text once you reach 80% of your monthly data allowance, and again once you reach 100%.

You'll get a free standard connection. A postage and handling charge for your router will apply.
Other charges
Additional charges may apply for items such as non-standard installations and additional in-home technician work performed at the time of connection. For more details please see Mercury's phone and internet terms. Electricity and gas (if applicable) charges will also apply for your energy services.
Broadband performance
Performance
Actual speeds you experience are affected by many factors including the device you are using and its capabilities, the number of devices connected, your operating system and web-browser, and if you're connecting wirelessly to your router. Find out more about factors that may influence your speed.
As your plan uses a wireless connection, then factors such as the distance you are from a cell tower, the network capability and the overall use of that cell tower by other consumers can impact the speed experienced. For wireless broadband, you must use the router supplied by Mercury. This router is capable of providing the estimated peak time average speeds, subject to the other factors described above.
See Measuring Broadband NZ for independent information on broadband performance across different providers, plans and technologies. You can also view the latest reports.
Access type
Your access type will be wireless broadband. Find out more about the different access types and speeds.

Other requirements
Please note: The You Choose offer is not available in conjunction with any other offer. View Mercury's offer terms for more information.
Traffic management
Mercury reserves the right to manage traffic at peak times (for example, by limiting the speed at which you can download or upload content) to ensure all customers get the best possible experience even at busy times. Overall, this should have a positive benefit for customers. If Mercury makes any changes to this policy which will have a material impact on you, Mercury will let you know.
Speed restrictions
If you have chosen a wireless broadband plan that is not a capped plan and your full monthly data allowance has been consumed, the maximum speeds for your wireless broadband plan will be reduced to 5Mbps until your monthly plan renewal date. Where your maximum speeds have been reduced, you will still be able to use your wireless broadband but you may experience some degradations (such as lower video resolution) when watching video, streaming or loading images. Your speeds may be less than 5Mbps during the period that your maximum speeds are reduced because of other factors that affect wireless broadband speeds.
Service restrictions
Mercury has a service restriction policy in place which may influence your broadband performance. See clause 5.5 of Mercury's phone and internet terms.
Fair use policy
No fair use policy applies.
Effects on other services
Your wireless broadband service requires mains electricity to operate. If electricity is not available (e.g. during a local electricity outage), then your wireless broadband, and any services which run over it, may stop working unless you have battery backup in your home. This means services such as landlines, medical alarms, and security alarms may stop working. It is your responsibility to check with the provider of existing services to make sure they will operate under such circumstances. This may also mean you're unable to contact 111 in an emergency. Mercury recommends having a charged mobile or alternative arrangement in place.
Complaints
At Mercury, customer feedback is valued and Mercury takes care to address complaints. Information about Mercury's process for customer complaints.
Disputes
Mercury is a member of the Telecommunications Disputes Resolution (TDR) scheme, a free independent service to help customers resolve broadband disputes. For more information about TDR, see their website.
All prices and fees quoted are inclusive of GST (if any).
