Troubleshooting Voyager Issues
Common Voyager connection problems and how to fix them.
Voyager fibre speeds are below the 920 Mbps plan tier
Cause: Router limitations, Wi-Fi interference, or ethernet cable quality can reduce speeds.
- Test with a Cat 6 or higher ethernet cable connected directly to the router
- Restart the router by unplugging for 30 seconds
- Verify your router supports gigabit ethernet ports
- Reduce the number of active devices during testing
- Contact Voyager support for a Chorus line test if speeds remain low
VoIP call quality is poor with echoing or dropped calls
Cause: Insufficient bandwidth or network jitter can degrade VoIP call quality.
- Connect VoIP devices via ethernet instead of Wi-Fi
- Check your internet speed is at least 5 Mbps upload
- Close bandwidth-heavy applications during calls
- Contact Voyager support to check QoS settings for your connection
Internet connection drops intermittently
Cause: Chorus fibre maintenance or router firmware issues can cause disconnections.
- Restart the router and wait two minutes for reconnection

Voyager Speed Test FAQ
How fast is Voyager fibre broadband?
Voyager fibre delivers up to 920/450 Mbps on the standard Fibre 920 plan. Hyperfibre plans offer 2 Gbps and 4 Gbps symmetric speeds for households with demanding connectivity needs. All plans use the Chorus fibre network. Actual speeds depend on your plan tier, router quality, and number of connected devices. The 4 Gbps plan suits tech-heavy households with smart home setups, multiple HD streams, and heavy data transfers simultaneously.
Does Voyager offer business broadband?
Yes, Voyager provides comprehensive business broadband and communications solutions. Business plans include dedicated fibre internet, WAN connectivity, Hyperfibre up to 4 Gbps, VoIP phone systems, hosting, and domain services. Business voice plans at NZD 32 per user include unlimited NZ and AU calling with softphone options. Voyager specializes in IT solutions for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to enterprise customers requiring managed network infrastructure.
How do I test my Voyager speed?
Use the speed test on this page to measure your Voyager fibre download speed, upload speed, and ping latency. For accurate results, connect your computer directly to the router using an ethernet cable. WiFi connections produce lower speeds due to signal interference and distance from the router. Close all background applications and streaming before testing. The test takes approximately 30 seconds. Compare your result with your plan speed of 920 Mbps or your Hyperfibre tier.
Does Voyager require a contract?
Voyager residential fibre plans do not require term contracts. You can cancel at any time with standard notice. This no-contract approach gives customers flexibility to switch providers or upgrade plans without early termination fees. Voyager focuses on retaining customers through service quality rather than contract lock-in. Business plans may have different terms depending on the services and infrastructure involved.
