Our service is pretty simple. All we’ve got is a weekly charge that we ask you to prepay. For that, we’ll supply you with unlimited electricity and broadband data for the period you’re paid up for. Right from the time you join, you can choose to prepay for between one and six weeks of service. From there you can choose to continue prepaying in one to six week blocks, to keep your services with us. You can continue for as long (or short) as you like.
Yes, once you have purchased a period, no matter how much you use you will not have to pay anymore for that period. However if your usage is unusually high compared to a typical apartment we will let you know. Should you continue to use significantly more than typical then we may choose to offer a higher price for your next purchase.
Hardly anything. After you’ve chosen your apartment, all we need is a few simple details and your email address. We will email you payment confirmations and reminder emails telling you when your paid weeks are due to expire. Signing up should only take a minute.
Payments are made by credit card via our website (no surcharges apply). Just choose your apartment from the apartment selector, and make a payment to continue your services with us.
We’ll send you email reminders that your paid weeks are about to run out. You can also come back to the Hopsta website, choose your apartment and see when your paid weeks are going to expire. You’re also able to purchase more weeks to continue your services, by choosing your apartment from the apartment selector and making a credit card payment.
Just like if you no longer want to receive your services from us, or are moving out, your services will stop working once your paid weeks run out. To start your services up again, just visit our website, choose your apartment in the apartment selector and we’ll start your services again. Please Note: There may be a delay in restarting your services, depending on how long they have been inactive for and when you restart.
Just stop paying for more weeks. We’ll disconnect your services when your paid weeks come to an end.
Only weekly purchases are available. When you run out of prepaid weeks then we’ll cancel your services. Refunds are not available. You have the flexibility to control how many weeks you purchase.
Right now, we’re starting with certain apartment types in a few buildings and Hopsta only supplies to apartments under 60m2. We’re busy connecting more apartments and buildings all the time, if your apartment is not listed and you feel we should know about it, please contact our team and we can look into this for you.
Please check your main switch inside your apartment is turned on. If the power is still not working please call Vector directly on 0508 832 867 or check Vector's outages https://help.vector.co.nz/address
Hopsta is available normal business hours to get the process started, we will endeavour to have you connected as soon as possible. Power services can usually be reconnected within the next working day. Fibre services can usually be reconnected within the next 1-2 working days. Broadband over Copper Lines can typically take 2-3 business days for an issue free connection.
If your power has been disconnected we will contact you to confirm a time that someone can be present for up to 4 hours. It is a safety requirement that someone must be present at the property for a power reconnection to occur. If your property has been disconnected for more than 6 months, you wil be required to get a COV (certificate of verification) completed by an electrical inspector before the reconnection can proceed. Once you have a copy please email to enquiries@hopsta.co.nz. Any costs inccured for a COV will be between you and the electrician.
If a contractor is needed to visit the site for a manual reconnection we will need a Contact Person/Building Manager who can access your meter room in your building. A manual reconnection can take a little bit longer but Hopsta will do our best to advise the contractor your available time slots.
Please check your Fibre Ready connection guide to ensure the Chorus ONT box and your modem are plugged in correctly. Reboot your ONT & Modem by turning the power off at the wall and wait 1 - 2 minutes before turning the power back on. You will need to wait 2 -3 minutes after you turn the ONT and Modem back on before you check to see if the Internet is working again.
Please go to www.hopsta.co.nz and enter your apartment from the apartment selector and tick the box to fill out a form which will be sent to our technical support team in Auckland.
