Email from Vetta, signups are open again.
Eligibility requirements changed and offer adjusted.
I think there may be something wrong with the eligibility checker because an address I know is eligible is not working right now.
Thanks for being part of our Local Linkup digital equity broadband service - we trust you've been enjoying your low-cost fibre broadband!
As you'll be aware, you signed up to this service during our proof-of-concept trial with Chorus, which has since concluded, and the continuation and formal productisation has been under consideration by Chorus.
I'm pleased to advise that Chorus have continued to come to the party, and Local Linkup is here to stay! 🎉
That being said, there are some things to be aware of, so it's important you read this email in full.
Going forward, the service will be changing from having two speed options, to a single option, at a new price point of $28 per month.
This is a 100Mbps download, 20Mbps upload speed plan, and comes with the same inclusions of uncapped data and an included router.For customers currently on the 100Mbps download / 20Mbps upload Local Linkup plan:
Your price will be increasing by $2 - from $26 per month, to $28 per month, effective 20th March 2026.For customers currently on the 500Mbps download / 100Mbps upload Local Linkup plan:

However, we will be maintaining your services under the existing proof-of-concept eligibility for 12 months, through to February 2027.
