Fair use policy

Fair use policy applies to our $55 plan.

This means you cannot use the service in a way that is overly excessive or unreasonable. We’ve based it on how most people use the service. If you’re consistently smoking the internet, we will get in touch with you to let you know about some options, and if the excessive usage continues we may need to move you to another plan to protect everyone else’s experience.

Full Broadband terms and conditions

To have a read of all the serious stuff (like terms, set-up fees and extra charges) head to skinny.co.nz/terms

Power cuts and 111 emergencies

Broadband services do not work in the event of a power cut. This means devices (like medical alarms) which use your connection may not be able to work - even if they have a battery. Make sure you have another way to access 111 in an emergency.  We recommend you have an alternative method, such as a charged mobile phone or a power backup device such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to keep you connected.

Broadband availability at your address

Broadband is not available in all areas. Factors such as distance from our equipment, or the networks capacity, mean we may be unable to deliver Skinny broadband to a specific address.

For this reason, the address tracker might not accurately assess the services available at your address.  We will be able to confirm availability after installation and testing.

3 Set and forget with a debit or credit card

All you need is a debit or credit card, and it will be charged every 30 days, so you don't have to worry about organising payments.

Got questions about Skinny Broadband?

  • How does BYO modem work?

    For fixed line broadband, bring your own modem and save $5 per month for 12 months on your broadband plan.

    You’ll need to make sure your modem is compatible with your plan and know how to change the settings yourself. Check Modem Compatibility here. Skinny cannot provide you tech support for setting it up.

    Skinny can’t guarantee your modem will work to the same standard as the one we’d usually give you.

  • How can I get a $10 per month discount on broadband plans?

    We love to reward our existing customers, so if you’ve got a 4 weekly $27 or above Skinny mobile plan, you can get $10 off per month when you join any of our broadband plans.

    If you’re eligible, just sign up to one of these broadband plans and follow the prompts so we know you’ve got the right mobile plan and we’ll apply the discount every month to your broadband renewal charge. You need to make sure your mobile plan is active at the time of your broadband plan renewing as that is when we will apply the $10 discount. 1 discount per account. 

    When you receive your modem and activate it online, make sure you use the email address you used when signing up to the broadband plan, when you’re asked to log in.

  • How does the 1 month free promo work?

    Just sign up for one of our Fixed Broadband  12-month plans and we’ll give you 1 month free!

    The offer will be applied to your Skinny account as a credit for 100% of your base plan charges for the duration of the promo.

    The offer does not include any additional services which will be charged at full price, depending on which promo you are on. After your promo expires, you'll pay for your plan as per usual.

    This offer is valid for new Skinny Broadband customers only. Available to customers who do not currently get Broadband from Skinny and have not had Broadband with Skinny for the last 90 days.

  • How does the 2 months free promo work?

    Just sign up for one of our Wireless Broadband 12-month plans and we’ll give you 2 months free!

    The offer will be applied to your Skinny account as a credit for 100% of your base plan charges for the duration of the promo.

    The offer does not include any additional services which will be charged at full price, depending on which promo you are on. After your promo expires, you'll pay for your plan as per usual.

    This offer is valid for new Skinny Broadband customers only. Available to customers who do not currently get Broadband from Skinny and have not had Broadband with Skinny for the last 90 days.

  • What's the deal with the fixed term contract plan? Do I need a fixed term contract?

    You don't need to have a fixed term contract if you don't want one.

    It's all about how much you want to pay upfront. We've got fixed term contract plans as a way to offer an option to include the modem and connection fee in the contract cost. Once you are connected to this plan, you're with us for 12 months. 

    If you leave before your contract is up, you'll be charged an early termination fee.

    The fee is $249 if you leave in the first 6 months or $124 if you leave in the second 6 months. If a 12 month fixed contract plan isn’t your jam we've got a great No Pesky Term option as well. With this one you just need to pay for the upfront costs like the modem and a connection fee, if applicable, and then you've got enough broadband to last until the cows come home.

  • How can I keep track of my data, and what if I want more data?

    It's super easy to keep track of your usage for your Skinny Wireless 4G Broadband plan. You can check how much data you have left by logging into your account at skinny.co.nz. It's updated in real time so you know exactly what you've used and what you've got left on your 30 day plan. You can also repurchase your plan at anytime to get another 60GB, or 120GB, and buy a Data Add-On of 10GB for $20.

  • Why are some broadband plans available at my address and others are not?

    Due to the fact that our Wireless Broadband runs on 4G, this can put a lot of pressure on our cell towers with their heavier data requirements than that of mobile devices and your local cell site may already be at capacity in your area. You see, our mobile customers and broadband customers will share the same cell site, so to ensure both our mobile and our broadband customers get the best service possible we need to make sure we are not overloading the towers available. If your address is delivering a message that says you can't get Skinny Broadband, we're super sorry that you can't get it right now but as our techies keep updating the network, you may be able to get it in the future, so keep checking back.

  • What do I do about modems? Do I need a Skinny modem? Can I bring it when I move?

    If you're on a Wireless Broadband Plan, you’ll need a Skinny modem. This is included if you choose a 12-month term option, or if you choose a No Pesky Term you will need to pay for it upfront. Modem shipping and handling fee applies.

    Modem shipping and handling fee applies.

    If you’re on a wireless broadband plan you can take your modem to your new place. Just check your new property in the Skinny Address Checker to check what plans are available and let us know you will be using your Skinny Wireless modem at a new address. If you try to use your Skinny Wireless modem at a new address without telling us we may disconnect it from our network.

    If you are on a fixed broadband plan, you can BYO modem to connect with Skinny Unlimited. Bringing your own modem means Skinny cannot provide you tech support for setting it up. You’ll need to make sure your modem is compatible and know how to change the settings yourself. Check Modem Compatibility. Skinny can’t guarantee your modem will work to the same standard as the one we’d usually give you.

    If you do choose to BYO modem, you’ll get a $5 a month discount for 12 months.

    If you’re on a fixed broadband plan you can also take your modem to your new place as long as the house has a connection to the same technology.

  • Have an old Skinny modem kicking about?

    Recycle it!

    Head over to ANY Spark retail store and hand the modem over to a staff member, or place it in the tech recycling bin in-store.

    Spark have over 60 stores around the country so there will be one near you.

    Skinny has an excellent phone and modem recycling program via Spark and by recycling we all help the planet.

  • What is a fair use policy?

    We want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy our awesome Skinny wireless broadband so we need to make sure that everyone plays fair. Our Fair Use Policy for our wireless $55 plan means you cannot use the service in a way that is overly excessive or unreasonable. We’ve based it on how most people use the service. If you’re consistently smoking the internet, we will get in touch with you to let you know about some options, and if the excessive usage continues we may need to move you to another plan to protect everyone else’s experience.

  • What does 'Mbps' mean?

    In full it means ’Megabits per second’. Bits are tiny units of data, and a ‘megabit’ is 1 million of these bits. But you don’t really need to know that. All you need to know is that ‘Megabits per second’ is the measure of how fast your download speed is. Different types of internet usage may require different download speeds. A good number to keep in mind is that you will require about 5Mbps to stream Netflix in High Definition.

  • Is there a network issue?

    Skinny uses Spark's network for Broadband and Fibre, if you think there might be a wider issue it might pay to check out Spark's outage page here.
