Digital Transformation Starts With Speed: Upgrade to 2degrees Hyperfibre + Get a Free ‘Switch + Savings’ Conversion by Rare

Everyone’s “doing AI”, “moving to cloud”, “going modern”… and then they try to run it all on a connection and internet that was sized for 2018 Netflix and a printer - with digital systems that facilitate only that.
That mismatch creates digital drag and strategic drift in the form of:
impaired businesses, workforces and operations
slow uploads (the hidden killer)
choppy Teams/Zoom calls
cloud apps timing out or glitchy
security updates lagging
staff working around problems (a.k.a. inventing chaos and shadow IT)
And it’s happening while global IT and transformation spend is exploding—IT spending is forecast by Gartner to hit US$6.08T in 2026, and IDC forecasts digital transformation spend to reach ~US$3.9T by 2027. Translation: the world isn’t slowing down so your connectivity can “catch up later.”
The Rare offer - Free analysis + free conversion (business or home)
Rare will quickly
Analyse your needs vs. current internet plan + bill + real usage
Right-size you to the best value plan (sometimes that’s Hyperfibre, sometimes it’s not)
Seamlessly handle the entire conversion end-to-end—no stress, no downtime surprises
Aim to reduce monthly fees where possible (by right-sizing, using bundle discounts, and removing hidden “legacy tax”)
If we can’t genuinely improve things, we’ll tell you straight and sherpa you to resolve it all.
Why Hyperfibre (and why now)
Most “fast fibre” conversations obsess over download speed. In the modern world, upload matters just as much:
backing up files
syncing OneDrive/SharePoint
sending large docs/media
remote access
cloud-based security + monitoring
video calls (which are two-way, not one-way)
Hyperformers don’t just download faster—they upload fast and consistently.
Chorus describes Hyperfibre as offering symmetrical bandwidth (same upload and download), unlike most other fibre plans.
And in many areas Hyperfibre can reach up to 8,000 Mbps in select locations (and up to 4,000 Mbps more broadly).
That’s not “nice-to-have” anymore—it’s the difference between -
cloud-first enablement with confidence and
cloud-first disablement with excuses, exceptions based break fix invoices

Spark-style “traditional Fibre Max” vs Hyperfibre (layman comparison)
Traditional “Fibre Max / Gigabit-class” reality
Spark’s own guidance notes that gigabit fibre has technical limits—under perfect conditions it’s around 930 Mbps down / 480 Mbps up, and typical best-case wired expectations can be ~600–900 down / ~300–500 up. Spark also publishes national peak-time average speeds for Fibre Max of ~879 Mbps down / ~512 Mbps up.
It’s good. For many organisations, it’s enough.But it’s still a ceiling you can hit fast once you go cloud-heavy and multi-user.
Rare Hyperfibre reality
Hyperformers get -
far higher throughput headroom (2–4Gbps commonly; up to 8Gbps in some places)
symmetrical speeds (upload isn’t the neglected sibling)
better alignment to modern operating models: cloud apps, remote teams, AI workflows, large data movement
Quick “should I care?” test
If you have any of these, Hyperfibre is worth checking -
5+ people regularly on Teams while working in cloud apps
creatives sending/receiving big files (video, design, GIS, CAD)
multiple sites or heavy VPN / remote access
you’re planning AI adoption (even “basic” Copilot-style usage increases dependency on reliable, low-latency connectivity)
Why Rare's 2degrees Hyperfibre specifically
2degrees Business markets fibre plans built “specifically for reliability” with business-grade support expectations (faster support times vs household connections). They also commonly run promos like a $200 joining credit for 24-month Smart Fibre / Smart Hyperfibre terms. And if you’re already a 2degrees mobile + broadband customer, 2degrees states you can save $10/month (bundle discount).
Rare Needs Analysis -
Rare’s approach is simple -
If Hyperfibre will materially improve business or professional outcomes, performance and overall value, we recommend it.
If a lower plan will deliver the same lived experience, we’ll say so.
What Rare does that most providers don’t - we make the switch seamless and painless (and accountable)
A lot of “ISP switching” advice also assumes you’re a network engineer and have much spare time. You’re not. You’ve got a business (or a life). Thus, rare manages the full conversion like a proper mini-project
1) Free Needs + “Switch + Savings” assessment
review your current needs vs. plan + bill + contract status
assess usage patterns (users/devices/workloads)
check address availability (Hyperformers vary by region)
identify where your bottleneck really is (often it’s Wi-Fi, not fibre)
2) Plan recommendation (right-sized)
Hyperfibre if you’ll actually use it
otherwise Smart Fibre alternatives (still modern, still fast)
3) Seamless cutover execution (Rare-run)
order + coordinate install
modem/router/Wi-Fi setup (or integrate with your existing kit properly)
schedule cutover window to minimise downtime
validate speed + stability (wired + Wi-Fi reality, not just theoretical numbers)
cancel old service correctly (no “double billing for 3 months” nonsense)
4) Optional, but would be great to enage to help “make the rest of your digital stack match the new speed”
This is where transformation actually happens
determine a digital strategy or plan for you, if one is needed, or if you have doubts or would like a sounding board
fix Wi-Fi design
harden security basics
modern device + identity hygiene
enable cloud-first operations without friction
