No. 8 Xtension
We currently cannot accept new connections on the nationwide no.8xtension service. If you already have an Extend wireless service from another ISP we can still migrate you to our service, but we cannot install any new connections at this point. Please feel free to give our friendly helpdesk a call on 0800 12 13 14 to find out more.
Our no.8core service which is available in the Waikato area is still accepting new connections. Please see this page for more information.
Can I get this service?
No.8 Xtension is specifically designed for the needs of rural communities where ADSL broadband may not be available.
No.8 Xtension is available in a range of areas nationwide. The service is transmitted from many of the highest peaks around the country, often from television towers.
While our own No.8 Core network offers the best value for money, the No.8 Xtension plans offer much wider coverage nationwide.
Which plan is right for me?
Basic - Light Internet Users: Great if you have just come off a dial-up connection and occasionally use the Internet to surf, chat and download files.
Everyday - Medium Internet Users: Great for families that use the Internet on a daily basis to check emails, surf websites, download music or videos and upload photos and files.
Power - Heavy Internet Users: Suited to power users that use the Internet for two or more hours everyday, and view it as a critical part of their daily lives. Great for downloading movies or lots of music, gaming, social networking and uploading photos and music regularly.
What's involved with installation?
A small wireless receiver is mounted on your roof, which transmits back to a main repeater.
Our installer will come out and do the installation, as well as setup the system on your computer.
If you have any questions regarding networking or email, then you can ask the installer to cover these at the same time.
The current connection fee for No.8 Xtension is $298.00 incl GST.
