Rural internet, sorted
Rural internet shouldn't be this hard. Here's how Glenn fixes it.
Video calls freeze. The kids can't do schoolwork. Eftpos drops out in the shed. Fibre never reached your road, and you've been putting it off because you don't want to climb on the roof or guess where the dish should go.
You don't need to become a Starlink expert. You need someone local who has installed Starlink on properties like yours, knows the Hawke's Bay terrain, and will set it up properly.

Assess
Glenn looks at your property, finds the spot with the clearest line of sky, and plans the tidiest cable run.
- 02
Mount
The dish is mounted safely and securely, on the roof or another suitable position.
- 03
Cable
Cabling is run discreetly and neatly, protected where it needs to be.
- 04
Connect
The router is placed for the best signal through the house, and the system is brought online.
- 05
Test
Glenn checks the connection and the WiFi coverage across the areas you actually use.
- 06
Explain
Before he leaves, Glenn shows you how it works and what to do if you ever need to restart it.
If your property needs extra WiFi coverage for sheds, cottages or far rooms, Glenn will talk you through the options rather than leaving you to work it out later.
Who it's for
Starlink for every kind of Hawke's Bay property.
Farms and orchards
Coverage that reaches the house, the sheds and the working parts of the property, not just one room.
Holiday homes
A connection that just works when you arrive, without a service call every visit.
Home offices and small business
Internet steady enough for video calls, eftpos and working from home.
Properties with poor coverage
Already have Starlink but the WiFi will not reach where you need it? Glenn can extend and improve it.

Starlink questions
Things people often ask about Starlink.
How much does Starlink cost in New Zealand?
The standard Gen 3 hardware kit is NZ$599 to own outright, or about $20 a month to lease. Deprioritised residential service is $79 a month and competitive with fibre. Installation is quoted per property and Glenn gives you the price before he starts.
Is Starlink faster than fibre in Hawke's Bay?
Starlink currently delivers around 300 Mbps download speeds in NZ, which is fast enough to stream, work from home and video-call without buffering. For most rural Hawke's Bay properties where fibre is not available or not reliable, Starlink is the better practical answer.
Do I need a special router for Starlink?
No. Starlink ships with its own router, and Glenn can also set up third-party routers and mesh extenders if your property needs broader WiFi coverage.
Should I buy Starlink before I talk to you?
Not necessarily. Glenn is happy to give you advice first, so you buy the right kit for your property and avoid an expensive mistake.
Can you install the dish on my roof?
Yes. Glenn does safe roof and property mounting and will choose the position with the clearest line of sky and the tidiest cable run.
Can you help if I have already bought the kit?
Absolutely. Many customers buy the hardware themselves and call Glenn to install it properly.
Will Starlink cover my whole property?
The dish gives you the connection. Getting strong WiFi everywhere you need it - including sheds and far rooms - sometimes needs extra coverage. Glenn will assess this and talk you through the options.
Do you help farms, orchards and lifestyle blocks?
Yes. These are exactly the kinds of properties Glenn installs for most often across Hawke's Bay.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hawke's Bay - Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, Central Hawke's Bay, plus rural properties across the Bay. If you are not sure, just ask.
