Welcome to 2021 from Rural Wireless Broadband
Last year has been a challenge to most of us with the onset of Covert 19, job losses and uncertainty over where too from here. We are all hoping for a much better 2021 and to make up for lost time spent worrying about the dreaded virus. We can all be thankful that New Zealand has been one of the least affected countries in the world.
If there is one thing we have learned during this time is that more and more people have been working from home and are demanding faster and more reliable internet especially those in rural areas where broadband conductivity can be a challenge. Customers are now asking for not only faster speeds but more data which some of the national providers are now finding difficult to meet with maximum rural plans only catering for customer wanting less than 300GB per month.
Rural Wireless now have the capacity to provide unlimited rural data for larger users without those pesky over usage charges.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
