Earlier this year the Greymouth Star carried a story about how “Bruce Bay is about to become the first isolated settlement on the West Coast to get Broadband in a self-help joint project between WestREAP and local iwi, Te Runanga o Makaawhio.”
Laura Mills, who wrote the article, notes that the cost for broadband for local residents will drop from $500 a month for satellite broadband with capped data, to $40 a month for unlimited fast broadband. It is available to 54 households in a sparsely populated area stretching south from Fox Glacier.
