Good WiFi isn’t just about your connection type – small changes at home can make a big difference.

If your WiFi feels a bit sluggish, simple adjustments can give it a real boost – like keeping your modem in an open space (not tucked in a cupboard), placing it near a window for the strongest signal and keeping it clear of appliances or devices that
can cause interference.

For plenty more handy tips, tricks and step-bystep guides, head to the Support tab on the Farmside website to help you get the most out of your connection:

Our Timaru-based team recently downed tools for an afternoon of bowling, embracing their inner golden oldies while they were at it! With plenty of laughs and a bit of friendly competition, it was a brilliant reminder of what makes Farmside tick.

Local people who are a tight-knit team, passionate about keeping Kiwis connected – that’s the heart of what we do.

We're proud to be local and proud to be making a difference, right here from the regions.

With the holidays just around the corner, it’s important to stay vigilant online. Cyber scams tend to spike over the Christmas and New Year period, especially when people are travelling, working remotely, or running on reduced staff.

A few quick reminders to help keep things secure over the break:

• Be cautious with unexpected emails or texts – especially clicking links

• Watch for ‘urgent’ requests that pressure you to act fast

• Double-check payment details on invoices or renewals

• Keep devices updated

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your gut and take a moment before responding or clicking. Our local crew will be available: 9am-5:30pm each day except for: 25th, 28th, 1st Jan, 4th Jan. Stay safe online and enjoy a well-deserved break this holiday season.

9am - 5:30pm (Customer Services)

Copper homeline is ending soon – here’s how to stay connected.

If you’ve got a copper homeline (PSTN), your service will end in March 2026. The easy way to stay connected? Switch to a Farmside Mobile Plan.

Your mobile works during power outages (as long as it’s charged), and with SpaceX coverage, you can even send SMS if you’re out of traditional coverage or if your local tower is down.

Visit MyFarmside or call our friendly Timaru team on 0800 32 76 74. We’ll make the switch simple.

From unprecedented winds to heavy snow, recent weeks have shown just how unpredictable life on the land can be. But no matter what the weather throws at you, Farmside keeps Kiwis connected.

A reminder to our mobile plan customers: your phone still works during power outages (as long as it’s charged). And with SpaceX coverage, you can even send SMS if you’re out of traditional coverage or if your local tower is down.

Whether it’s checking in with a neighbour, keeping up with work, or simply letting loved ones know you’re safe, you’re never truly out of touch.

For additional support, please reach out to our friendly Timaru-based team on 0800 32 76 74, they’re here to help in any way they can during these uncertain times.

Some of our Timaru-based team will be here to help you during these hours tomorrow 👇
