About Inspire Net

Inspire Net is a Manawatū-based fixed wireless and fibre ISP that owns underground fibre and microwave infrastructure across the Manawatū-Whanganui region.

Inspire Net provides the underground telecommunications infrastructure used by retail providers across their network area. Their cables sit alongside power, water and gas, so striking one during excavation can knock out entire neighbourhoods.

Inspire Net is one of 16 utility operators active in Manawatū-Whanganui. Most building or landscaping work in this area touches multiple operators' networks at once — power, water and communications cables routinely share the same trench. The list further down shows the other utilities you'll likely need to contact alongside Inspire Net.
