Internet Access for students who do not have Internet at Home
This is a copy of Tamsin's email:
The service is provided for $5 for 30GB of data (with the option to renew up to five times a month) and comes with a free Wireless Broadband modem. It is entirely prepaid, so there are no long-term contracts or credit checks needed, and all it takes to get set up is registering through a partner and plugging in the modem.
Hi everyone,
This is the link for our families to register for a wireless
modem if they don't have internet and meet requirements. More details below.

"Skinny Jump will be available to a wider range of
people who find that cost is a barrier to having a broadband connection at home
– including families with school aged children, job seekers, senior citizens,
refugees, new migrants, people with disabilities and people living in social
housing.

While New
Zealand is in Covid-19 lock-down, we are offering a remote self-service
option. If you would like a Jump connection, click on the orange icon to
the right and submit a completed form. We will courier a Jump modem and
set-up how-to guide to your home."
Thanks Tamsin - very useful link!
