About AoNet
Our Story
AoNet Broadband was founded in 2014 by Lachlan Chapman and Bill Warrilow. Since then, we’ve grown our network from one potato farm in Waipukurau across much of the Hawke’s Bay region, and Ruapehu District. With thousands of customers already connected, we can’t wait to bring high speed rural broadband to you.
Supporting locals because we are local
AoNet Broadband is a small team dedicated to connecting you to the rest of the world, no matter how difficult you are to reach. We combine professional expertise with a ‘community first’ approach to provide high speed broadband internet, direct to your doorstep at affordable prices.
Local
AoNet is locally owned and staffed by people who live in the regions we serve.
Kiwi Owned
AoNet isn’t owned by a faceless corporation – its a family owned business doing their best for their community.
Number 8 Wire Mentality
AoNet uses classic Kiwi ingenuity to get the job done – no matter how tricky it might be. We built our business on solving connectivity problems.
