"I had heard how great Lightwire was and how lovely all the workers are, and I loved the sound of that! The whole process was super easy, everything was explained really well, and I had no issues at all. The Wi-Fi is amazing! I’m just on the simple plan, and it works perfectly for what I need. What I enjoy most is how lovely and helpful everyone at Lightwire is, it makes such a difference. I’m single with flatmates, and we use the internet for watching TV and online work, and it’s always reliable."

"The internet quality is far better than what we had before, and with kids who game and live online, the performance handles really well. I’m on the unlimited plan, which suits our needs perfectly. What I enjoy most about being with Lightwire is the good quality, fair price, and great customer service. As a parent with two teenagers we use the internet for gaming, streaming, and general browsing. Overall, my experience with Lightwire has been awesome."

We chose Lightwire because of the price and the fact they could supply to our farmhouse. The whole experience was excellent—someone came out to connect us, and it was fast and hassle-free. The internet quality has been excellent with no dropouts, and what we enjoy most is the reliability—no hassles with the connection at all. As a couple with three kids aged 13, 12, and 9, we use the internet for TV, social media, and gaming, and Lightwire keeps up perfectly.

"The speed is incredibly fast and reaches all through the house with no issues. What I enjoy most is how fast it works and how multiple people can be using the internet at the same time without a hitch. We’re a family of six with four kids, and we use the internet mainly for watching TV and running our security cameras. Lightwire handles it all with ease. Our experience has been 10out of 10. I’d recommend Lightwire to everyone I know—super fast, affordable, and reliable."

Frequently asked questions about our home services

Have a look through our most frequently asked questions. Can’t find what your looking for?

Check out our knowledge base or reach out to our friendly support team.

What is fixed wireless broadband?

Fixed wireless uses radio signals from a nearby tower to deliver fast internet straight to your home — no fibre or copper cables needed. It’s a great option for rural or hard-to-reach areas where traditional broadband isn’t available.

How long does installation take?

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll confirm your coverage and schedule an installer. Most homes are up and running in just a couple of hours on installation day. You can let us know what date you require installation and we will work hard to make the date you need.

Can I use my own Wi-Fi router?

In most cases, yes — but we recommend using the router we provide. It’s tested for our network and includes smart WiFi features to get the best coverage across your home. You won't be eligible for a whole-home WiFi guarantee unfortunately.

Do you have local support?

Yes — 100%. Our support team is based right here in New Zealand. You’ll always speak to someone who knows your region and can get things sorted quickly.
