How do I switch my broadband to Skinny?
Just visit skinny.co.nz/broadband to check you can get Skinny Broadband at your place and then order the Skinny modem and plan.
We'll send it out to you ASAP, and once you get your hands on the modem, just follow the instructions and you'll be up and running in under 5 minutes.
We also recommend that you check what the cancellation notice period is with your current provider. It’s a good idea to take that into consideration when you’re deciding what date you want to switch over to connect Skinny Broadband, so you don’t end up paying for two services at the same time.
