FIBREMAX MOVING HUB - YOU CHOOSE OFFER SUMMARY
28 AUGUST 2025
Service Overview
Service Description
FibreMax is a fibre broadband plan, with an optional landline service for residential customers. The You Choose offer is only available when bundled with an electricity service. When your house is connected to our network via a fibre optic connection, the throughput is both higher, and of a better consistency, than ADSL broadband. This means that fibre will deliver a faster speed.

Fibre broadband is not available everywhere in New Zealand. You can check your availability of our services when signing up on our website or by calling us on 0800 789 505.

The You Choose offer is only available to new residential customers who join Mercury for electricity and broadband services at the same address on a 2 year term. The joining bonuses that can be chosen from as part of this offer are determined by the broadband plan chosen at the time of sign up.

Traffic Management
Mercury customers on broadband plans are currently not shaped in any way. From a connectivity point of view, unlimited data plans are treated in exactly the same way as limited or capped plans. Generally, our peak traffic times are between 3:30pm and 11:00pm. Customers may experience congestion during these periods. At peak times there may be congestion on the network however, we are always working to provide the best possible service we can. We do, however, reserve the right to apply traffic management policies to customers on unlimited data plans should this become required in the future.
Service Restrictions
We have a service restriction policy in place which may influence your broadband performance. See clause 5.5 of the phone and internet terms.
Fair Use Policy
No fair use policy applies.
Effects on Other Services
Your fibre broadband service requires mains electricity to operate. If electricity is not available (e.g. during a local electricity outage) then your fibre 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. We recommend having a charged mobile or alternative arrangement in place.
Complaints
At Mercury, we value customer feedback and take care to address complaints. Information about our 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). This is an offer summary only. View our offer terms and conditions and phone and internet terms and conditions for more information.
