Hi everyone, at around 10am we had a large outage hit the wider Hamilton region. Service was mostly restored at around 10:25am so give your modem a reboot to confirm if you're back online. The remaining issues are still under investigation - sorry for the inconvenience!

As we move to Level 2, our support team will continue to work from home until the end of May to best observe social distancing. If you need a hand, you can still get in touch with us via all the usual channels: slingshot.co.nz/contact.

Under Alert Levels 2 & 3, our support team continues to safely work from home and are available to support our customers as normal. Head to slingshot.co.nz/contact or give us a shout on social media if you need a hand. Stay safe everyone!

A great initiative by @slingshotnz has launched to help reduce e waste. "Instead of consigning perfectly functional equipment to e-waste or landfill, we're asking customers to take one on, and we'll give money to a good cause." Says Slinghot CE. nzherald.co.nz/business/news/…

Slingshot is offering our members six months free fibre broadband with no contract required as part of a deal for first responders. The offer is available for a limited time so visit slingshot.co.nz/frontline for more info.
