Fibre is coming...
Fibre has been laid in Kuaotunu and is expected to be commercially available in the next few months.
If fibre is not an option for your property but you receive a strong connection to Spark's 4G mobile network, then rural wireless internet may be an option. Note that it is possible to have a landline with this option without requiring any cables to your property.
