High-speed Internet and WAN services that work.
Upgraded to fibre but still not getting the speed?
It may come as a surprise that many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are selling cheap fibre services on over-subscribed networks, resulting in substandard connectivity and performance. In most cases, business customers are an add on to a network built as cheaply as possible for home broadband users.
Sharp specialises in high speed business networks with priority paths to business critical Cloud application houses such as Microsoft Azure, Google, AWS and Oracle.
Understanding how the internet actually works is now more important than ever
There is an ever increasing confusion in the market place, especially amongst SMEs, with businesses opting for cheap fibre internet services without realising what they're actually subscribing to.
What many business owners and technology facilitators don't understand is that fibre internet products are not created equally, despite them having the same name on paper; what businesses are paying for vs. what the minimum regulatory bandwidth requirement is from their Internet Service Provider differs significantly.
Upgrading our internet services with Sharp has meant that our staff have experienced instant improvements in network connectivity (no more complaints of slow speeds!) and productivity.

10x speed increase at no additional cost
We have a long-standing relationship with AUT Millennium as a technology integrator and facilitator across photocopier, phone system and internet solutions. We recently leveraged our new technology stack to right-fit their facility with a 10x internet speed upgrade for no additional monthly cost.
Why we designed our own telco network.
As a key technology partner for many New Zealand businesses, we noticed a pressing need that grew along with the evolution of business Cloud computing. Despite this shift, most businesses weren't subscribing to business-grade fibre circuits and were instead being marketed a no-frills, entry-level service that came with congestion and delayed fault restoration times.
We took it upon ourselves to design a congestion-free network, with tons of capacity and a bunch of technological smarts that help businesses connect to Cloud applications, fast and reliably.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to switch from my current ISP to Sharp's internet and WAN?
If you already have fibre, we can have you live in less than three working days. If you're still on copper, the fibre upgrade plan typically takes 2 - 6 weeks depending on your business address. We can work with your network administrator in designing a segregated voice and data network that brings you quality and assurance across both technologies.
Is Sharp's internet really faster than other ISPs?
We just give you more. Unlike most ISPs, we don't have a no-frills SME product, all our customers benefit from enterprise network solutions without having to pay enterprise prices. Sharp operates a business-only network that runs under capacity, this means we never have to slow you down to fit amongst our network.
How do I increase speed to our cloud applications?
The internet is a confusing place, and choosing the right network partner will ensure the fastest possible connectivity to the world by taking the path of least resistance. Sharp offers connectivity to public Cloud houses, such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and Oracle, which means that our customers accessing information inside these Cloud environments can do so through a more direct route rather than just taking a best effort path over the 'internet'.
If you're hosting servers privately with these providers, we can also connect you without touching the internet at all, e.g. as if there was a fibre cable directly between you and the Cloud provider. This ensures maximum speed and security at all times.
If you're sick of dealing with multiple suppliers and are looking for a trust-worthy, boutique solution to your business internet and WAN needs, we're here to help.
