The NZ Compare team recently visited 360Net to present the award in person, celebrating a provider that continues to deliver strong value in an increasingly competitive NZ fibre broadband market.
The award recognises broadband providers that offer the best combination of price, performance, and customer experience — a balance that has become increasingly important as Kiwi households look for ways to reduce monthly costs while staying connected.
“Winning NZ Compare’s Best Value Broadband Provider of the Year again is a proud moment for our whole team, it validates the work we put into delivering genuine value without compromising service. For our customers, it’s reassurance that they’re choosing a provider that backs sharp pricing with real performance and support.”
Nakul Behl, Co-Founder & Director at 360Net
The judges at the NZ Compare Awards were impressed by 360Net’s ability to consistently deliver exceptional value without cutting corners, combining sharp, competitive pricing with strong network performance and reliable customer support. In a market often crowded with complexity, 360Net stood out for its simple, transparent plans that make it easy for customers to understand exactly what they’re getting.
Not the first time - Twice the value!
Winning Best Value Broadband Provider for the second year in a row is a significant achievement for 360Net, especially in a highly competitive market where it has outperformed a number of established major providers.
With cost-of-living pressures front of mind for many Kiwi households, consistently delivering strong value year after year is no small feat. This back-to-back win highlights 360Net’s ability to combine competitive pricing with reliable performance at a time when getting the most for your money matters more than ever.
Many major (and minor) fibre broadband providers have increased prices over the last 12 months and this is where providers like 360Net are having a real impact in Kiwi pockets.
NZ Compare has long been a platform for ALL broadband providers in New Zealand. The rise of challenger broadband providers like 360Net is helping reshape the market for the better and comparison websites like Broadband Compare let all brands have the same share of voice, not stuck behind huge marketing budgets and fancy brand campaigns.
“It’s great to see newer and challenger brands like 360Net continuing to raise the bar. Increased competition means more choice for Kiwis, sharper pricing, and better service across the board. It also pushes the larger providers to lift their game — and ultimately, that’s a win for consumers.”

Whilst 360Net is a relatively new entrant to the New Zealand broadband market, it is delivering excellent value for customers. Launching in 2023 as a locally owned ISP focused on delivering high-speed fibre and hyperfibre services. Based in Auckland, the company has quickly built a reputation for offering simple, high-performance plans at competitive prices, combining unlimited data, fast setup, and local customer support to appeal to value-conscious Kiwi households.
With more options now available than ever before, New Zealanders are increasingly turning to comparison tools to find the best broadband deals and avoid overpaying for services they don’t need.
As the cost of broadband in NZ continues to be a key household expense, awards like this highlight providers that are delivering real value. Whether it’s fibre broadband plans, unlimited data, or simple pricing structures, providers like 360Net are helping make broadband more accessible and affordable.
Comparison websites like Broadband Compare make it easy to see multiple broadband plans side-by-side, helping you quickly find the best value for your needs. By comparing prices, speeds, and features in one place, Kiwis can avoid overpaying and choose a provider with confidence.
For consumers, the message is clear: comparing broadband plans can lead to significant savings, especially in a market where pricing and performance vary widely between providers.
360Net’s continued recognition as a best value broadband provider reflects a broader shift in the industry — one where transparency, fair pricing, and customer outcomes are becoming key differentiators.
