    $99 per month for Unlimited data.

    Notes on installation:
    We’ll need to install some equipment onsite to get you connected to the Gecko network. A radio will be installed on the roof (or another structure) and a router* will be cabled inside. These devices, plus the labour and travel to get to you, are covered under a one-off $399 incl GST installation fee. As long as this installation fee is paid, you aren’t in a contract with Gecko and the router is yours to keep.

    As part of the $399 install fee, Gecko will provide a router to you. This is yours to keep, and comes with a 24 month warranty. The radio equipment installed at site will remain property of Gecko. If you cancel your services we may ask you facilitate a time with us to retrieve this equipment.

    In some cases, there may be additional charges if you’d like it installed a certain way. Perhaps you’ve got a shed on the property, or a tiny-home flat, that you’d like to get connected too. Any additional charges will be fully quoted to you prior to install.

  • For the city folk, our Fibre plans offer something suitable for everyone. From low-user plans to those with a requirement of insane performance. Whatever your internet needs, Gecko has an ideal plan for you.

    All plans are billed in advance with no contract or joining fee. All Gecko Fibre connections require a Fibre capable router. You’re welcome to use your own router, or purchase one of ours.

  • In an ADSL or VDSL only area and want some Gecko goodness? We can help with that.

    You’ll need a router to connect your devices to the ADSL or VDSL connection into your home. You’re welcome to use your existing router, or you can purchase one from us.

    Gecko ADSL
    $99/month
    Unlimited data.

    If you’ve never had services connected at your address (say it’s a new build), there may be a $150 to $199 installation fee which is charged to us by the lines provider. We’ll just pass this on at cost. Alternatively this can be offset by entering into a 24 month contract.

  • We can offer wireless broadband for urban/urban-fringe locations that uses OneNZ’s 4G and 5G network. A 12 month term applies to these connections.

    You’ll also need a 4G/5G capable router that is able to connect to the mobile network and authenticate using a sim card. We’d recommend purchasing one from Gecko as we can support it better. Our Huawei 4G/5G routers are $299.

    Gecko 4G/5G Wireless
    $75/month for 300GB of data (Full Speed)
    $85/month for 600GB of data (Full Speed)
    $119/month for Unlimited data (Fair use policy applies and speeds are capped at 100/40)

    Unsure if you can get reliable 4G coverage? Get in touch and we can check for you.

Gecko Phoneline

  • If you’d like to add a phoneline to your Gecko Broadband connection, along with a VoiceMail service and CallerID, we can help with that.

    $10/month when added to any Gecko Broadband connection.

  • Gecko phonelines are run over the internet. For this reason, you’ll either need a phone capable router to connect your landline to, or we can provide a small device (called an ATA) that connects to your router and provides voice functionality.

    If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch

  • All Gecko phonelines offer unlimited local calling at no charge. All tolled charges made using your phoneline will be billed the following month.

    Our calling rates can be found here.

  • The 111 Contact Code ensures that people who are more likely to need to contact 111, and who have a phone service that doesn’t work in a power failure (with no other means of contacting 111 at their premises), are provided with a means to contact the 111-emergency service. Gecko Broadband is committed to the health and safety of its customers, and has collaborated with the New Zealand Commerce Commission and the New Zealand Telecommunications Forum to establish this code.

    At time of signup, we will ask you whether you believe you are a vulnerable customer as per the specific guidelines. It’s your responsibility to advise us of this.
