We're working towards having existing FTTP sub-divisions able to connect to UFB services later this year. There can be a big difference between "working towards something later this year" and "having it done by the end of the year".

Ragnor: There can be a big difference between "working towards something later this year" and "having it done by the end of the year". You're right and I won't hold my breath for that, but at least we are not forgotten.

Looks like the kids will be grandparents before most urban areas get rolled out. Quite disapointed.

It has always been a 10 year project with the bulk of residential areas being covers in years 6-10. *Need help configuring your Linksys ATA or IP Phones for New Zealand? Check my blog post

They are working crazy hard just for this first year roll out and are doing a great job. I was up at Palmy exchange this morning and the fiber splicing guy was working away. He had been bought over from Brisbane to do this work! There isn't enough man power in NZ to get this done at the moment. Apparently a whole bunch of Chinese guys are being bought over too.

Find that a little hard to believe they are under resourced in AU for fibre design and jointing and they pay better! Just look at seek! but yea alot of staff coming from the Philippines and South Aflicka ... low on civil contractors for thrusting etc too.
