Broadband for the Manawatu, Tararua and Horowhenua

How much faster is Rural Wireless compared to standard wireless broadband?

Our older network had limited speeds as low as 5 Mbps but now we can achieve speeds up to 100 Mbps over the our wireless network making city speeds available to customers in the country. Note: Total speeds may vary depending on distance, obstacles and environmental conditions. 

When looking for rural broadband make sure you ask what their data plans are capped at? If they can provide 30 Mbps or greater then this will provide most internet functions. If you have a larger household your may required higher speeds – (50 – 100Mbps).
