Otautau. It's a small town about 42K (as the crow flies) NW of Invercargill. Very similar to West Auckland about 50 years ago. Hitching posts in the main street, spittoons in the bars, and everyone carries. There's talk of setting up Tim Shadbolt as mayor here, if Invercargill ever manages to remove him from office.

Right, your fibre company will be Chorus then.

Sorry that query was directed at Technofreak - I didn't include the user name! My apologies.

Sorry thought you were asking the OP.

I'm in Hamilton the family member I was talking about is in Central Taranaki.

Ah that makes sense, your fibre co is probably UFF, and they may do things differently to Chorus.

UFF was previously owned (at least in part) by Wel Networks so their mappings were all made using Wel Poles & Ducts
