PANiCnz: Any chance of using a reasonable size image so mobile users don't get screwed?

I have resized the image.

OP, please be considerate to others. A 4MB photo IS NOT APPROPRIATE. You can easily resize to 560 pixels and upload to Geekzone and use our server instead.

Assuming no problems, Typically 3 months between finishing the installation of the ducting. And fibre being available for signups.

OP - if you are on a cross lease property or shared driveway. Download the consent forms off the Chorus website and start getting consent from your neighbours now. Otherwise this will just cause more delays in the signup process.

Tech who was repairing sisters phone on arthur st said it may still be some way off livening the area up for fiber. But that was a grumpy copper repair tech who is probably bitter about fiber going in so I dont know if I would believe them.

Still has may 2015 listed and the kerbside seems all done now.

House is right next to street. Simple install. Fibre and ducting being done at once. Just the question of how long it takes to go live. The last chorus map update pushed us to may from june 2016. The instal itself wont be messy thanks to the location

Also to my understanding, Chorus has been trying to ramp up installs so I guess ill just have to wait and see.

Failed another uni test today because internet dropped out. Pretty desperate here.

If your internet is dropping out, you should probably log a fault.

Have done. As it got worse chorus had it tested. When they found the fault they refused to fix it because it wasnt cost effective with fibre around the corner.
