So I found myself becoming an owner-occupier of a CBD apartment that was a serviced apartment. Everything is nice, except for the fact that Chorus is now claiming that there is insufficient line capacity to even bring in a standard landline/DSL service for Internet. Okay, so I went to the body corporate AGM and learned that they've been trying to get in touch with every single telecommunications company out there (Chorus, Telecom, Vodafone) to get more lines running in so at least we (the actual residents) standard Internet service. The apartment block has its own node supposedly, and line trace from various ISPs have confirmed that the unit I am in does have a line, but then Chorus said that they need building owners to bring in more lines. Yeah, what?

So someone is clearly not informed properly here, and this has been going on for months now, and none of us have even a basic service. Only service is FreedomInternet which is over unsecured wifi with very flaky speeds, and down more often than the worst ISP's I've been with. Not to mention not using a public IP address, but I digress...

Not sure if anyone here can bring me information or contact the right people to maybe speed this up, but not getting proper Internet access is really driving me nuts.
