haerh: I am trying to post the photo of boxes that contractor told me about that these are ready to be connected to homes
This is the link
Anybody seen these as they were the one contractors pointed me to. When they told me that it's been ready.
Meanwhile I will wait for flyer in mail saying it's ready, might look at a smaller operator if nothing moves by end of April,.
That is an Blown Fibre Aerial Terminal Box - (this one has no connections from it) These are just where the ends of the microducts are housed for the aerial service leads to be connected to - there is no fibre in them until a service is installed and the fibre is Blown down the ducting from a terminal (ABFAT - Air Blown Fibre Access Terminal) housed further back (in the ground).
Having these up on the poles doesn't mean that the UFB service is ready to use. After the actual physical build down the street there is work of actually installing the terminals, feeding them with the backhaul Fibre, Exchange equipment install, Records updating and integration & Service commission testing and acceptance - all before the network is actually ready to have customers connected. Only them can an order be placed by an RSP with the network operator.
If the Chorus site say for your address that it will be available May 2016 then no mater which RSP you ask to have a connection they will not be able to progress an order till the area goes live around May.

As I explained above in a post above the presence of the network and hardware such as the FAT does not mean the network is necessarily ready for provisioning. A typical network build is a large area which will often be multiple streets or even a big chunk of a suburb will be built out, and then once this is complete it will go live. This can be months from when the build starts, and just because they've finished outside your house does not mean the node(s) are yet finished. A lot of work still has to occur afterwards including data for every property being loaded before an order can be lodged.
If the Chorus map says May then it's highly likely that your area will go live in May. Contacting other RSP's won't speed this process up as none can place an order until it's live in the Chorus Portal.
