Hi from full flavour rural broadband
Our mission: Rural broadband at city speeds
We're a Tauranga-based family business now in our 10th year providing internet services in New Zealand. With the owners having grown up in rural New Zealand (20 minutes drive from Te Aroha), we understand the frustrations associated with poor connectivity and enjoy getting stuck into projects that lift our rural communities connectivity to the same level as that available in town.
We're technology agnostic, while in an ideal world every New Zealander would have fibre-to-the-home, we recognise the cost is important too so sometimes the best solution is a compromise - such as VDSL which uses copper or 4G which uses radio waves to extend fibre speeds deeper into the community.
In the past we've predominantly focused on our backyard (the Bay of Plenty region) but we've recently scaled up and are working with communities across New Zealand to improve broadband connectivity.
