Our job is to connect people.
Fast, reliable fibre for homes and apartments across Aotearoa.
About Freedom
We provide fibre internet for homes, apartments and short-stay accommodation, so we can make life happen. We are not your typical Internet Service Provider.
We started by pre-installing Gigabit fibre and access points in apartment buildings, so residents could connect the same day they moved in. Now we bring that same simple, local service to standalone homes across New Zealand too.
No runaround. No jargon. Just fast, reliable fibre and a local team that picks up the phone.
Founded in 2010, we grew rapidly throughout New Zealand and Australia with over 500 buildings and 35,000 apartments serviced. Now Freedom Internet New Zealand is focused on New Zealand customers and the New Zealand way of life.
Our job is to connect people. When people are connected, relationships are established, and communities are formed. This gives people a sense of belonging and it improves the quality of their lives by providing them with control and freedom.
We look forward to being your Internet Service Provider.
