In most building serviced by Freedom Internet New Zealand customers get symmetrical speeds up to 100Mbps. However, we have some buildings that can deliver speed plans up to 500Mbps.
We always provide the fastest possible speed to your building, and fibre speed where possible. The speed may be slightly different for each customer due to a number of factors, including:
- Type of technology available at your address
- Network capacity
- Set up at your apartment (such as location of your modem and how the internet is used in your apartment)
- Whether your device is connected by Wi-Fi rather than Ethernet cable
5GHz supplies faster data rates at a shorter distance.
2.4GHz supplies coverage for farther distances, but may perform at slower speeds.
We recommend using the 5GHz network if you are after fast speeds & can be connected near your modem. If range is more important or you are experiencing drop outs on the 5GHz, we recommend using the 2.4GHz network.
We are committed to delivering great value internet, while keeping it simple. Our prices are low, our data plans are flexible and we have some of the best terms in the market. With us, you avoid installation, connection and equipment fees.
Simply go to My Account, log in and click on Your Plan. Then, you can build your new plan and click on Change or Buy New Plan. Please note, if you are downgrading to a plan that is less time or data, you will lose all rollover data. Our most popular plan is unlimited. No data caps, no worries!
Yes! All our monthly plans have rollover data. Any data left on your account at the end of your billing cycle is automatically added to your next plan. Just a note – if you unsubscribe, you will lose any spare data.

If your Freedom 6 or 12 month contract plan is cancelled before your minimum term has ended, you’ll need to pay an Early Termination Charge (ETC) up to $199 before your subscription can be cancelled.
INSTALLATION
Depending on your location, you may require a pre-configured Wi-Fi router at your premises. All pre-configured routers are available for $98. Freedom Internet will only support Freedom provided pre-configured routers.
Our devices are small – 11cm x 9cm x 2.5cm – and are usually fitted to the wall out of sight. We look for the best place for coverage in your apartment. All installs are pre-approved by the building owners, so it won’t affect your rental contract or bond. Nice!
Between 1 to 2 hours depending on your building & unit.
