The views expressed by me are not necessarily those of my employer

It looks like Pirongia town has coverage from a DSL PoV, however if you are out of the township or the DSL sucks you could try lightwire. My parents have a rural property near there that gets a little over 20Mbps via lightwire.

Also, hyperman are you related to Powareverb?
