Good evening everyone, I hope you're managing to keep warm on this chilly weekend!

 

I am in the final stages of my lovely new house being built, and in typical nerd fashion I have gone somewhat overboard with running cables everywhere I could. In our current house we are with 2Degrees but our new house is in the hyperfibre zone, so I would like to get involved with that and switch to Quic. 

 

My question is, when should I order the installation to minimize downtime and moving in without a connection? Can I place the order now and give a date that Chorus will be able to access the property? My builder will allow Chorus onsite the week before the handover so in an ideal world I would be able to organize them to be onsite that week. I won't be stopping my 2degrees connection in the current house for a while so there isn't anything to transfer - it will be a brand new connection in the new house.

 

Has anyone struck this before?

You’ve nailed it. :-)

 

Order the fibre with a requested date that Chorus are able to access the property. 👍

 

A site contact (whether yourself or the builder) will need to be there to show Chorus the “lay of the land” and where you want the ONT located. From there, Chorus will complete the scope and kick off the install process.

Perfect, thankyou for that. I'll get onto it quick smart.
