Orcon Extends Genius Offering

Orcon today announces it has extended its revolutionary Orcon Genius offering to residents in New Plymouth and Wanganui.

Launched in July, Orcon Genius is New Zealand’s first mass-market device that makes full use of the internet’s potential, putting phone calls over a broadband connection.

The device also doubles as a wireless modem – creating a complete telecommunications package in a small and sleek device – and is fibre-ready so users can make the most of ultra-fast broadband (UFB) as it is rolled out.

Since its launch, the Orcon Genius has been in high demand and according to Orcon GM of retail, Taryn Hamilton, this is due to the competitive pricing of the service.

“For too long, New Zealanders have been paying far too much for their broadband and home phone service – Orcon Genius is all about changing that.

“We’ve extended our network and are pleased that we are now able to offer this service to those living in New Plymouth and Wanganui.

“Today’s announcement is more proof that we are committed to driving down costs for all New Zealanders. With packages starting at $75 per month, people can expect to see a reduction of around $35 on their monthly bill – and that’s big news in our book,” says Taryn Hamilton, GM of retail.

Orcon Genius goes on sale to residents in New Plymouth and Wanganui from tomorrow (9 Dec.).

Orcon Genius has been developed in partnership with Australia’s second largest broadband provider iiNet.
