New Zealand Zenbu hotspot pricing changes.
Just quickly placing a little something in the Christmas stockings.
What is that you may ask?
Well... simply, more data for less $.
We've halved our prices! Now you get more bang for your buck when purchasing credit online via the Zenbu website.
Prior to this change, credit purchased online at all New Zealand and Cook Islands hotspots cost 10 cents per MegaByte used.
...Now, at all New Zealand hotspots which are not satellite based, the price is 5 cents per MegaByte.
The change took effect at 00:00 AM, Thursday, December 25, 2014 NZDT (GMT+13) and applies to any internet connections activated after this time.
Have a great day and a happy, safe holiday period. Merry Christmas!
Cook Islands Zenbu credit pricing changes.
The busy season is nearly upon us and just in time, we have another quick announcement to make!
With the arrival of the new O3b satellite network and the subsequently introduced broadband plans (which are cheaper and faster!) we can now (and have!) lowered the cost of credit purchased from our website for Cook Islands hotspots.
Prior to the change, online purchased credit at Cook Islands hotspots was (NZD) 30 cents per MegaByte.
After the change, this pricing has come inline with the (current) New Zealand price of (NZD) 10 cents per Megabyte.
Better, faster, cheaper internet for both hotspot operators and thus their customers alike.
Another great leap for internet availability in the Cook Islands!
Some older operating systems / web browsers are no longer supported.
Coinciding with the phasing out of the SHA-1 (secure hashing algorithm), operating systems and web browsers which do not support at least SHA-2 will no longer be able to use Zenbu (specifically, to access the secure pages of our website such as logging in / buying credit).
Note: This change was made on Tuesday the 4th November, 2014.
One of the more common platforms that people may still be using (but will no longer work with Zenbu) are versions of Windows XP prior to Service Pack 3.
Arguably, if your computer is using a version of Windows XP prior to Service Pack 3, then irrespective of Zenbu, it should not really be connecting to the internet at all (for your own security / safety).
