Christchurch City Libraries has teamed up with Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa to offer Skinny Jump.
Skinny Jump (formerly Spark Jump) offers flexible prepaid broadband: Only $5 for 35GB of data, no contracts or credit checks, and the modem comes free of charge. Just top up as you go. You can renew the plan six times each month, up to a maximum of 210GB for $30.
If you want to get Skinny Jump
Phone the library on 03-941-7923. The library can check your coverage and advise you of the current availability of modems.

- Those in social housing
There may be other circumstances that make you eligible.
