Hi there,

Just got fibre installed today and i have a couple of questions.

1) how long does it take for voip to be connected? When i make an outbound call, i receive a 'welcome to the spark voice test line' message, then it hangs up. When i call this landline, i hear the ringing on my mobile, but the phone itself doesnt ring?
2) the internet, WLAN and WAN lights blinks occasionally on the modem. According to the manual, the first 2 should blink but the WAN should be solid for fibre?
3) when my wireless device (iphone/ipad) is put on lock and then i unlock it, it takes about 5 seconds for the wifi to reconnect whereas before it would reconnect instantly. Is this due to the new modem?

Thanks

Forgot to add, i rang Spark on 120 and the nice lady on the phone transferred my call to the i assume voice team? Who are only open Monday to Friday, so i thought i might get a better response here...

OK, so it would appear what the OP ordered online (fibre broadband and fibre voice) is not what was provisioned - due to human error.

Your broadband was migrated from ADSL to fibre successfully, however no change/upgrade was made to the provisioning of your phone service.

There would normally have been no issue with this, but unfortunately the technician completed the wiring work for fibre voice at your house, even though he had no work order for this. This led to the loss of your copper service when the tech disconnected the copper service lead from your house.

My apologies for this - I have seen a few cases of this now so it has been raised as a serious customer impacting issue. I believe the cause is that Chorus technicians have been advised to prepare all Spark fibre customers for VOF on every Spark fibre installation they complete, even if they have not received a specific order from Spark to do so.

Hopefully that situation can be resolved soon so there are no repeats of this.
