Snap Internet acquires Eznet

Company plans to open an office in Hamilton to support its expanding business client base.

Eznet launched four years ago and said it had built a reputation for low-cost, dial-up internet access, mainly among residential users.

Snap CEO Jamie Cairns said that the firm’s clients will be offered upgraded services including multiple broadband options and that they’d also benefit from Snap’s competitive stance in the market.

He said, “While most of our recent growth has been in the South Island, we have a growing presence in Hamilton and Auckland. TUANZ members ranked Snap on service, innovation and pricing and we will deliver these qualities to existing and new clients in the Waikato region.”

Snap plans to open an office in Hamilton to support its expanding client base in business, education, health and residential sectors. The company’s headquarters are in Christchurch and Snap was awarded Internet Service Provider of the Year at the 2009 TUANZ Innovation Awards.
