Lightwire

Built here. For here.

Lightwire was designed specifically for rural Waikato and Bay of Plenty. Not adapted from a city model, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Professionally installed, locally supported, and trusted by rural Kiwis for nearly 20 years.

Picure this:

Video calls with the grandkids. Streaming whatever you feel like. Running the home business. All of it, without the dropouts.

Rural internet that works as hard as you do.

Your reputation depends on responsive support. Ours does too.

With an average wait time of just 45 seconds, we're here when you need us, so you can be there for your customers.

Because strong partnerships start with showing up.

Good internet means you stop thinking about it.

No checking the connection before a call. No buffering mid-episode. No asking the kids to get off so you can work. Just your home, running the way it should.

Moving to a rural property is already a lot. Internet shouldn't add to the stress.

Professionally installed, ready to go from day one. Get 2 months free + $650 free install when you move with Lightwire.

We love showing up for you. At your door, at your local event, and on the end of the phone.

That's the Lightwire way. 📶

We've spent over 20 years connecting rural New Zealand.

But looking after rural NZ means more than keeping the WiFi on. Last winter, our team joined the Jackson family on their Te Akau farm in Waikato to plant 600 native seedlings along gullies and wetlands that needed them.

Because the land we work in matters just as much as the homes we connect.

When something needs sorting, we pick up. Every time.

Real people, real support, right here in rural NZ 🇳🇿
