High-Speed Rural Internet
Rural internet can be challenging, but Starlink is an absolute game changer! We can help with a fast and quality Starlink internet installation service anywhere in Taranaki, and we specialise in extending the Wi-fi coverage to all areas of your property that you need. 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.

Installation from residential to total farm solutions
If your farm internet needs are more that just a residential house, you'll need a fit-for-purpose solution. Give me a call as I can extend your Wifi services way beyond the immediate location of the Starlink router.
Talk to me about full property coverage including barns, milking sheds, lifestyle properties and multi-dwelling properties.
There are several ways we could tackle things and within a budget.
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 prioritized plan is unlimited and suitable for households with multiple users. Service is unaffected by weather conditions (no rain fade) or “line-of-sight” interference. If you have a clear view of the sky and the dish is correctly aligned you can expect consistent download speeds in the 280Mbps to 320Mbps range at the router, anywhere in NZ.
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!
