- Is glitch-face, the spinny wheel and slow loading pages part of your daily routine? You might have badnet. See if you can get fibre broadband at your place. Go to chorus.co.nz

For the reference for the people outside of New Zealand, Chorus isn't actually an ISP as such. 30 odd years ago our government deregulated and privatized a bunch of things, including the post office which at the time owned all the phone lines. The entire phone side of things became Telecom, which got further split up in the 2000's to a retail arm, a wholesale arm and an infrastructure arm that owned the copper lines etc. Chorus is that infrastructure arm, which was forcibly spun off into a totally separate company as part of the governments Ultra Fast Broadband (UFB) initiative. Chorus (and several other companies) were awarded government contracts to deploy Fibre to most of the country, pretty much any town with more than a few hundred people, but Chorus got the lions share. There are some pretty strict conditions and partial government ownership because the government is paying, but the end result is that New Zealand now has absolutely world class internet. Any ISP can access this fibre and the backends for the same wholesale price, so you can chose the ISP you like, and the government department responsible for consumer affairs deploys speedtesting kit to volunteers houses to keep the ISPs honest. Unlike the situation in most of the US where you are lucky if you have any choice of ISP, or Australia where NBN is a joke, the vast majority of us Kiwis can get uncapped, unlimited, unthrottled fibre for a very reasonable price. I personally pay about USD$35/month for 100 down 20 up fibre, you can get 950/500 plans for as low as USD$50/month now, and deployment has just started on upgrades to the network to allow synchronous 2gb and 4gb plans. I suspect this ad is part of the campaign to try increase the fibre uptake, I think from memory only about 50% of households that can be connected are, and in a few years they are going to start turning pulling out the copper lines in the fully fibred areas so they don't want a huge rush of installs at the end.
Nice! In the US there are a few smaller local governments that do this "Any ISP can access this fibre and the backends for the same wholesale price, so you can chose the ISP you like", typically called Municipal Fiber. It should be how it is done everywhere but we have massive cable (and fiber) companies, like Comcast and AT&T that own lawmakers and our FCC chairman These companies give them the legislation they want implemented, and get all sorts of things passed to block any attempt to have competition let alone to have that situation where you have a fiber line and can choose your provider.

Cracks me up every time - so good!
Best ad I’ve seen in a while
Cracks me up this ad especially when the clothes horse gets chucked out the ranch slider reminds me of myself 😂😂
0:35 When you've been constipated for a few days and finally get a release.
when you got too much fibre in your diet 😂
@@twiblik you win the internet today.
when the ping so high you start lagging irl
@@ralphdoremy-fasola2796 no, I said IRL as in In Real Life

Smart, well made, one word perfect. That's how advertisement should be done. Great job !

The german government said, that 56k is High Speed Internet and fast enough 😭
This is one of the funniest ads I've ever seen.
0:08 Nice day for fishing ain't it ?
I felt that one
Oh, they turned my life into an ad.
V3 chapter 1 flashbacks......
I’m crying
Love this dog what is the breed?
I've been using fiber for 4 'ears', it worths.
NBN has left the chat
that why i'm not in aussie lol
@@magesnz XD exactly!
How about actually getting everyone Fibre? Still most people 10min from town still putting up with ADSL.
shakes my head in American
I wish I could get fibre :'(
Brilliant advert, some damn clever ppl around 👌
I was trying to post a simple update to facebook but I ended up interneting for over an hour.
this is the best and most relatable ad i have ever seen
Looks like me balding too 😂
Oh look it's Carl Australia's NBN!
everyone would get fiber if they could but its literally impossible in some places because they wont lay cables to hamlets of like 2-3 households
me crying in german internet now.
What’s that Theme song called?
Clair De Lune by Debussy
Australia is still limping along with NBN Joke!
Dude’s like a malfunctioning digital robot…….😳
Now? I've had fibre for over 10 years
:( I want fibre
Yo my friends nana is in it!
great
I don’t know about you, but this seems like the matrix is having computer troubles not bad Internet XD
just wait for starlink
Fibre > Starlink
Starlink is great for regional and remote people but Elon doesn't define the laws of physics etc. Fibre can be basically infinitely fast though fibre does still have latency as it's constrained by the speed of light through fibre.
If you want fiber in the US, you're rich, lucky, or most likely totally not going to have the option.
Once again U.S is late to the change.
really? we had it for 20 years in sweden
👍🏼👍🏼
Why does the music sound sad
Damn. I'm carl.
Ah yes. Welcome to 2002.
0:34 is just the biggest freaking mood
Debussy ♥️
Thank you so much I've been wondering what that piece is now I know.much nicer on the piano.similar mood as erik satie.
@@maakeklein4073 Vocal version of 'Claire de lune'
@@Inna_Marsss I think I prefer it just on piano.
@@maakeklein4073 i often played it so it's boring for me
Just curious what brings a Russian lady to watch a kiwi ad.were you looking for Debussy and accidentally got this?
Is his dog shiba inu??
*Sigh* and here I thought this was a commercial for something that would help my bowel movements...
Theremin sounds like Katica Illenyi
It actually sounds like Grégoire Blanc haha
0:09 "Moin" :-D (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moin)
why im i cuting like this 0:26
Poor doggie :(
Why is this in trending but has no comments?
reddit
Comments were turned off for the first 130k views
Probably because it's being shared through embeded video players on other websites (that's how I got here) such as news websites or other aggregation sites like Digg, and most people are too stupid or too lazy to actually just click the video to be taken to the unembedded video page on youtube.
yis
This is a great ad
don't get trustpower everyone
I've watched this ad like 50 times
ok
Ok, that's a good ad.
Indian I.T guy to the rescue
Weird.. there wasn’t an Indian OR an IT guy in this but go off

Loved the dog!
but Debussy must be rolling over in his grave
Bought views?
*Fiber
The ad itself isn't that bad, but it's still misleading. Nobody needs fiber, and those sorts of bugs are more common with internet _outages_ or _extremely_ slow internet such as under 1 megabit, or really usually _even lower_ than that.
What's more is that *most ads for "fiber" plans are for plans that don't actually even give the user a fiber optic line!* (granted, usually a fiber line to the end user isn't necessary anyway, although it might help in certain cases if they're getting reflection/interference) I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case with this ad as well. All they're doing is updating their further-down infrastructure with fiber, and then if you get a plan above a certain megabit threshold they call it the fiber plan instead, even though literally nothing is different short of the arbitrary imposed speed limit that they have set for your connection.
See my post above for full details, but absolutely not the case here and our government is pretty good at smacking down companies that have tried things like that. The single company we have here that ever deployed HFC cable (Vodafone) tried to advertise it's cable plans as 'Fibre X' for awhile because the nodes were fibre fed, but the fair trading / consumer affairs bit of our government stomped on them fairly hard.
I'm more than happy with my fibre, thanks. Would take it over copper anyday.
@@AndrewGallNZ Cable *was* good, now it's crap...once Vodafone came along.
Try again and please try to make sense next time around
@@lighter666ify Maybe in some areas, it was pretty terrible in some places under TelstraClear and actually got better under Vodafone (e.g. Island Bay)
This is fucking yuck
Disgusting, demeaning, degrading and contemptuous towards Chorus's most disadvantaged customers, including some renters, people in multi-unit dwellings and using shared right-of-ways, and the elderly - the former of whom may want fibre but are unable to force their landlords or neighbours to provide consent, and the latter of whom might not prioritize their Internet connection. Shame on Chorus for showing contempt to its own customers, including rural communities. An educational campaign about the forthcoming copper network switchoff would have been more effective. There is no need for this abusive trolling.
Carl is Australian Defuckedo network.
