Skinny

Skinny’s whole reason for being is to strip everything back, so you only pay for stuff you actually want at super low prices. It’s based on a model called common sense. Skinny broadband only does award winning mobile and broadband, and it’s all prepay.

Skinny Mobile is a division of Spark New Zealand Trading Limited, and Skinny happily uses Spark's 4G network.

On their unlimited fibre plan

Pros

Cheaper than every other provider and the service is impeccable on fibre

Cons

Terrible to deal with their support via email
ADSL service cut out all the time while we were waiting for fibre to be installed and they were basically no help. Worth it if your connection is reliable but don't expect them to help at all otherwise

We recently signed up to skinny unlimited broadband.

We were told we would be connected within 5 days which was great.

Details below:

Pros

Cheap.

Cons

Lack of communication with customers, irrelevant automated emails which did not update us on our connection, rather tell us something we wanted to hear which would generally be the opposite of the actual situation. Once ...read more

Used their 4G service in rented property that did not have fibre yet...Fab service only changed as I relocated and they could not provide fibre service or 4G to new address

Pros

Always answered call. Never had an issue with their service provision. Not needing unlimited data I found the value great and no requirement of landline connection. 4G was still a good speed

Cons

Could do with more plan size options. While 100Gb suited me it's often not enough for families .

Appalling customer service. Takes then a week to reply to an email even if you reply 5 minutes after they have sent you one. Also takes an hour over the phone to be put through with someone that knows nothing at all about broadband...
