Chorus HPA

Committed speeds. Enterprise-grade performance. Competitive price.

What is Chorus HPA

Chorus High Priority Access (HPA) is a premium fibre service that delivers committed information rates (CIR) instead of best-effort speeds.

Built on XGSPON technology (the same technology as Hyperfibre), it provides high-capacity, low-latency connections that outperform standard UFB and Hyperfibre services.

With speeds from 1Gbps to 4Gbps, HPA is designed for data-hungry businesses that need guaranteed performance and enterprise SLAs.

Lightwire makes it simple to integrate HPA into your network - standalone or as part of a managed solution.

How does HPA compare to other services?

Chorus HPA sits above best-effort fibre like UFB and Hyperfibre, offering guaranteed bandwidth with enterprise-grade SLAs.

HPA vs Hyperfibre: HPA provides committed speeds (CIR), while Hyperfibre remains a best-effort service. That means guaranteed performance and traffic prioritisation on HPA, compared to variable speeds on Hyperfibre.

HPA vs UFB: UFB is built for residential and small business use. HPA adds guaranteed capacity, faster fault restoration, and transparent VLAN support for enterprise environments.

Other alternatives: Depending on your performance needs, Lightwire also offers:

  • Vector Ethernet - dedicated business-grade fibre in metro areas
  • Metro Ethernet - point-to-point high-capacity fibre services
  • Business Premium (BS4) - enhanced UFB with improved contention ratios and restore targets
  • Dark Fibre - for complete control and maximum flexibility in high-demand environments
