Giving Families The Joy Of Broadband

Primo broadband aims to make this Christmas a very connected one for three Taranaki families.

As part of its annual scheme called Primo It Forward, it’s looking for three families that could do with a bit of a hand in the form of free internet for a year.

Jasmine Harrison, who runs Primo It Forward, says the scheme has helped more than 20 families over its eight years.

“We just do it because it’s a chance for us to do something for families that might just need one less bill to pay. I mean, that’s all of us, but some need it more!”

People can nominate the families and give a bit of background to them.

“The scheme is really aimed at people with children at school age or at early-childhood education age where a connection is going to make a big difference in their lives,” Jasmine says.

If a family is in a fibre area, she says Primo will connect them up on its Ultra Fast Home Broadband, or if they are in a rural area, they can be connected with Primo’s wireless broadband system.

“Either way, we’ll get them up and running no worries!”

Nominations are open now and close December 4.
