I've applied for fiber through my ISP (2degrees) late April and spent ages trying to get it past the consents stage (Shared driveway but have a conveyance for the wires to go through). By May I've managed to get consents sorted by calling a combination of my ISP, Chorus and the company actually handling the consents. At the end of May, I was emailed the design plans after they sent someone down to look and discuss the build. Since then I was told that the build stage was scheduled for the end of July (26/06). 

Fast forward to this week, I called my ISP today to get an update. They told me the build was delayed until mid August (18/08). I was perplexed and got them to get an update from Chorus directly. Chorus told my ISP that the reason for the shift was that I've declined my old design plan that involved clipping the fiber along the fences and now they had to draw up new plans that required an underground fiber install. I didn't receive nor send anything about design plans since late May so this is all a big surprise. I tried calling Chorus but got sent on a call transfer goose chase so that's not much help. Anyone have such an experience and can help with this?
