Good news! Speed increases begin for all customers tomorrow! After many months of equipment upgrades and delays dealing with bad weather, we are finally in a position to throw open the taps a bit more to allow customers access to more Internet speed in time for the Christmas period. When the trust was set up in 2013, the wireless tech wasn't available to transmit high bandwidth connections and we were borrowing the school's fibre line with a data cap. Now at the end of 2025, we have a much faster dedicated fibre connection, plus all interconnecting links between Mākara transmitters have been upgraded. The original 20mbps customer plan will double to 50mbps, with some customers on newer equipment reaching up to the maximum of 60mbps down and 40mbps up. Have a great Christmas and New Year!
