Skinny Jump is a programme designed to help more New Zealanders access affordable broadband at home. Skinny Jump is available for homes that currently don't have a broadband connection because cost is a barrier, in particular;
- Families with children in low socio-economic communities
- People living in social housing
- Those who are unemployed
- People with disabilities
- Migrant and refugees with English as a second language
- Maaori and Pasifika youth
- Offenders and ex-offenders
- Seniors
If you're in one of these groups then here are some important things to note:
- First please check to see if Skinny will work at your address. Click the orange "See if Skinny will work at my place" button below
- If it does, then complete the "I Want a Skinny Modem" form below
- If you have now, or have had in the past, an account with Skinny you will need to create a new email address, as Skinny does not allow a second account on one email. But don't worry we can help you with this
- You MUST have data on your phone (or access to internet) so that you are able to verify the account set up which is sent to your email
- Once we've received your form and set your modem up, we will contact you to let you know it's ready to collect from us.
