Why sign up with Bigblu Satellite

As the newest competitor, Bigblu has a lot to offer in terms of speed, services, and installation to rural homes and businesses that have trouble connecting to the internet - more users from outside major cities can finally access the internet with faster download and upload speeds.

As some areas in NZ do not have fibre connections yet, going for satellite broadband will be the best “genuine alternative” to enjoy streaming videos, movies, and working from home.

You will need someone to install a satellite dish at your property, as well as a modem inside your home with wires linking it to the satellite dish and, in most cases, a wireless router.

Who can get Satellite Broadband?

Anyone can get a satellite broadband service in NZ, particularly those who don’t have fibre connection yet.

Jordan was patient, pleasant and took the time to answer all of my questions. She made sure that I understood all the steps and was clear and concise in her replies. Jordan first verified that I was the person paying the bills and ascertained that my husband had already expressed a change to Pulse but wanted to speak with me first. As we are both older, we appreciate that Jordan had taken the time to ensure that we understood the importance of a smart meter as there are two dwellings on this meter.

Filomena had amazing customer service! She was very polite and respectful. She also was great at listening to my needs and offering solutions with options that had great savings. I would give her 10 stars if that was an option. If I decide to go ahead I would choose to go have her help me again. I have not had the best experience in the past with customer service reps so I would like to thank her for making this experience a good one. Kind Regards, Selena

My discussion with Tyron Kumar went very well. He was very patient and polite with my lack of knowledge of GBs etc. On the basis of our conversation I felt confident enough to change to 2 degrees immediately. I didn't give five stars because the sound was poor. It seemed as if there was a constant noise in the background and Tyron's voice had a slight echo as well.

Thanks for the call and check in. You recommended I stay with my current provider as the rates were top notch. I'll touch base again in the next 12-18 months, you made it super easy. Great friendly and confident salesperson.
