Hi,

As per subject. I need a new line installed to provide naked vdsl, 
There is no existing connection from the road.  The line will terminate in a cabinet which will house the modem that will be 2 odd meters from the roadside demarc . I intend to trench and lay the conduit and cable all 3m :-).
The modem will be connected to ubiquiti gear to feed the vdsl to my location. 


What is the cheapest or recommended process to achieve this. Would I ask for a new line from my intended Isp "Snap" 
Or do I contact Chorus and ask for a new install. 

THanks


Jeremy

Well you can't just connect to a Whisper cabinet.

You need to connect via the RLG. So your private cabinet will need to be in a position to do that. Look for either a grey pillar, small oval pit or round pit with a copper terminal in it.

Then it is just a case of installing a service lead. This is a standard price of something like $110 if Chorus do it your you can do it yourself as long as it is to spec.

Once the cable is in just simply request a new connection from Snap and you will be away.
