Does Skinny Unlimited Broadband use ADSL, VDSL or Fibre? | Skinny NZ

This depends on where you live and what sort of connection is available at your address. Skinny NZ.

I can’t have fibre at my place, can I get ADSL or VDSL?

We always set you up with the best connection available at your place. If you’re in an area where fibre is available but you don’t yet have a connection, you shouldn’t have to worry - we’ll give you a temporary ADSL or VDSL connection (depending on availability) while you wait for fibre to be installed.

Is Fibre available at my place?

Does my plan really have no data cap?
