NOW is closing. Where next, Hawke's Bay?

Mercury is winding down NOW over the coming months. Residential customers get moved to Mercury automatically... which is fine, and also worth checking. NOW was ours. Built in Ahuriri, answered the phone, won the service awards. Before you let the default happen, spend two minutes comparing.

Your NOW plan

What you pay now

Grab the number off your last NOW bill. Every card below recalculates against it.

Straight up: this page is a local guide, not an ad. If any link becomes a referral link that pays us a commission, we'll label it right on the card... the comparison itself never changes to favour anyone. And genuinely: staying with Mercury will suit plenty of people. The point is choosing, not being defaulted.

Prices are standard advertised rates as at 18 August 2026 and change often... promos, bundles and contract terms all move the maths. Always confirm on the provider's site before switching. Fibre availability at your address is the same Chorus line no matter who bills you.
