We have arrived at the start of a new month and it’s just as well everyone is taking a long King’s Birthday holiday break as the Jump Address Checker is still down. I know the Skinny team is trying to fix this, so hang in there.
Just one update for my earlier message about using the Skinny address checker. You can continue to use this but beware of the ‘fibre trap’ and the plan availability. Skinny offers both wireless and fibre solutions, so when you use this checker, it reports on the availability of plans for all services potentially available at this address (including fibre). So make sure you are checking the wireless options and scroll down to check that the plan is available.
Note in the example below from the Skinny Address Checker that:
(1) a Wireless Connection is available; and
(2) the wireless plan is available “CHOOSE THIS PLAN”. If it says “NOT AVAILABLE” as for the $55 plan, then this means there is no capacity at this address and you can not proceed with a Jump connection.
Hopefully, by the time you back from your King’s Birthday holiday, this will be old news and the Jump checker will be back in operation.
