Chorus confirmed it would increase the price of its 100 megabit UFB service by $1.15 a month to $47.15 from October as previously planned. The maximum price it can charge for that service is governed by regulation and Chorus can increase it to reflect inflation. It will be up to internet providers to decide whether to pass on the wholesale price changes to customers. Spark spokeswoman Elle Dorset said it was also working through the details of Chorus' price changes. "Any Chorus price increases will inevitably flow through to customers, many of whom will be facing hardship over the next six to 12 months.
