We’re supporting digital journeys with Skinny Jump. Here’s what we’re doing.

It’s a limited offer

  • We have a limited number of Skinny Jump 210GB-a-month packages for community housing tenants to use.

  • They’re for community housing tenants who do not have the internet at home.

  • You will need Skinny Jump coverage in your area.

  • Qualifying community housing tenants must attend a short workshop to sign up.

  • You will need a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop to sign up as well as an email address.

Supported by Christchurch fibre company Enable, we’ve teamed up with Skinny Jump to offer two-years free wireless internet to digitally excluded community housing tenants.

We have a flyer you can read for full terms and conditions – click the pic to have a read:
