Little bit of About Woi
Urbandictionary.com says this about WOI: Used when something unexpected or when something extraordinary or even something remotely interesting, happens. WOI's main provider is Kacific satellite. Using KA Band technology, Kacific launched over NZ, parts of Asia and the Pacific Islands in December 2019. Kacific has raised around USD$200m to provide affordable and fast internet to emerging markets including the rural areas of New Zealand. The Kacific satellite payload was uplifted by Space X.

If you have fibre or well performing 4G mobile data then Woi won’t work for you. Satellite internet, in 2020, will not match the experience
of a good fibre connection. If you are a gamer Woi is not
going to work for you. The latency of 650ms means there is a delay under one second. This is a big deal for anyone who needs an immediate response. In general Woi 1 is 5 times faster than ADSL and Woi 2 is 10 times faster than ADSL (Copper)
Woi is perfect for people living in areas where other internet connections are too slow. There are still thousands of New Zealanders who have no access to decent broadband. It is great as a redundant ISP should the primary have stability issues. Woi can provide a failover device to ensure your internet is up 100% of the time.
Satellite internet is generally more expensive than ground based providers mainly due to the cost of launching the satellite and maintaining it in orbit.
Bad weather may cause your internet to slow down. This will only happen when there is a major storm.
