Happy New Year all! 

We still don't have internet in this house we moved last Dec. It didn't work out with 2degrees so I switched back to Spark VDSL. Then I was informed I can't have it (address checker said I can). Thus, I was moved to ADSL1. Still not connected as I am on port waiter. Waiting sucks. I've been backreading and it seems like there's not much I can do but WAIT.

With a little bit of hope, UFB is available in my area. There's a hold put on our address as there wasn't any consent from building representative. I rang the property manager (yes, we're renting) and he said does not have any problem signing one off. Great! 

My question is regarding consent from neighbors on shared driveway. I was advised by Spark to go house to house and pass on the consent form. I don't mind doing that but before I do so, can any one confirm it is really necessary? Photos below:

 

I hope to hear from you. It's been frustrating not having internet at home.

Thanks!

Rudi from Palmy

Ok here is my quick assesment of your UFB situation ( I work in Palmy area) - You are in a fixed fibre area - not blown fibre - no trenching of micro ducting etc

Your copper connection is via what is called a fully ducted or Pit & Pipe system  - the copper terminal is below ground in that it OS no 28 , from there there is a 50mm duct underthe footpath along infront of your house a beyond - off that 50mm duct will be a 20mm tee and a 20mm pipe across under your front lawn and into the demarc (ETP) on the side of your house

Your UFB connection would therefore follow a similar path from the bigger PIT (Cream fibre lid with round Channel Logo), also OS 28 through the smailer copper pit and via the duct and cionduit to the side of your house (Fibre ETP added there )

You will most likely find that this is how UFB will be delivered to you so therefore you wont need to get consent for any extenton of the UFB communial network up the ROW. More than likely it will already be ducted anyway- The planes that I have for the area (stored on my Laptop) were updated when the UFB network was installed but not when Northbrook Ct was done

BTW if the forms you copied out are the consent to install doc - NDF-240 Ultra-Fast Broadband Installation Consent Form v3.0 , as printed on the bottom of the page, wouldnt be any good anyway as those are the (paper version of the) consent to install in, on & outside a single dwelling - which is now done electonicaly, with an install tech,when a 'scope' is done of the exact requirements of your install.
