Is it better to use 4G/5G wireless broadband instead of fibre?

Wireless broadband can be handy, but if you can get fibre, it’s almost always the better choice.


Here’s why fibre comes out on top:

  • Faster speeds.
    Fibre supports plans from 100 Mbps up to Gigabit. Wireless speeds vary based on your location and network congestion.
  • Lower latency.
    Fibre connections give you smoother video calls, online gaming, and streaming.
  • Unlimited data.
    Most fibre plans (including ours) come with unlimited data. Wireless often has caps or fair use policies.
  • Stable performance.
    Fibre isn’t affected by weather, signal strength, or tower congestion.
  • Future-proof.
    Fibre keeps scaling up. Hyperfibre is already available in parts of NZ.

At Electric Kiwi, we’re fibre-first. We connect you on the 2degrees network, so you enjoy all the benefits of fibre without contracts or setup costs.

Bottom line:

If fibre is available at your place, it’s the best choice. And with Electric Kiwi, getting connected is easy, flexible, and fair.
