Welcome to 2021 from Rural Wireless Broadband
Last year has been a challenge to most of us with the onset of Covert 19, job losses and uncertainty over where too from here. We are all hoping for a much better 2021 and to make up for lost time spent worrying about the dreaded virus. We can all be thankful that New Zealand has been one of the least affected countries in the world.
If there is one thing we have learned during this time is that more and more people have been working from home and are demanding faster and more reliable internet especially those in rural areas where broadband conductivity can be a challenge. Customers are now asking for not only faster speeds but more data which some of the national providers are now finding difficult to meet with maximum rural plans only catering for customer wanting less than 300GB per month.
Rural Wireless now have the capacity to provide unlimited rural data for larger users without those pesky over usage charges.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
