Many Kiwis that live and work beyond the city boundaries are unable to access broadband through their phone lines because they’re too far away from their local copper infrastructure. The founders of Farmside thought that wasn’t right, and everyone deserved to be connected no matter their location, so Farmside was born. Beginning with satellite, Farmside has been providing rural connectivity solutions for the past 16 years.
Now, Farmside boasts a strong range of connectivity products, meaning there’s a solution for nearly every location and situation. Farmside’s broadband solutions include Wireless, Satellite, VDSL, ADSL and Fibre Broadband. We also offer a selection of phoneline services including Landline, Wireless, Farmside Voice (VoIP) and Mobile plans.
Farmside is proud to be backing rural New Zealand and has a number of partnerships with rural co-operatives and suppliers that are an integral part of rural New Zealand. Through these partnerships we can offer customers options when it comes to bill payments, either charging their Farmside services through their supply account or paying Farmside directly. Farmside is partnered with Farmlands, Farm Source, PGG Wrightson and Ruralco.
Proudly 100% owned by One NZ New Zealand and based out of Timaru, our team of over 50 staff and a network of installers nationwide are dedicated to providing Kiwis not only with fast, reliable connectivity solutions, but also excellent customer service. We know rural because we are rural, you’ll never be just a number to us.
We know rural because we are rural.
