We are experienced with all facets of the Starlink installation including mounting, equipment configuration, adapters, cable connections, and efficiency assessments.
Currently users in Aotearoa NZ are experiencing download speeds at around the 300Mbps rate. That makes it perfect for most home and workplace uses and allows for multiple user devices to be online simultaneously. Third party routers and wifi Mesh extenders can be integrated easily into your Starlink network if required.

Starlink costs?
It's now possible to lease the Starlink hardware for around $20 per month. The kit purchase price is currently NZ$599 for the new Gen 3 product.
The $79 "deprioritized" service makes Starlink very competitive with fibre and other high-speed internet services. This will give you unlimited data, but at a deprioritized rate, though this speed will still be faster than any rural Telco internet plan in New Zealand.
The $159 standard plan is suitable for large households with multiple users, this will give you download speeds comparable to any broadband fibre connections in New Zealand.
Talk to us first about the options best suited to your needs and budget. It's good to know your wifi requirements and physical hardware location.
We also provide a range of accessories available to improve the mounting location, connectivity, and functionality of your dish. These include extra mounting brackets, sidewall mounts and cabling extra's.
About Dickon
I have spent most of my career in the Printing industry, mainly being involved in the Digital side of printing. I have extensive experience in computer networking and all things Digital.
Having moved to Taranaki in 2021, and living rurally in between two dairy farms, we were incredibly frustrated with our internet options. Then we discovered Starlink and never looked back! I was so impressed I skilled up and added it as a service to Rua Contracting to help others get the rural internet they deserve!
