I live in a 3 unit apartment, I put the wheels in motion to get Fiber once it was available.  I got the notification a few weeks down the track that the order had been canceled because one of the neighbours said no to it. I know which one it is, but haven't said anything to them for fear of making it worse or, you know, exploding at them and calling them names. 

 

I've been told that they said no because they are afraid of what the install might add to the building in terms of wires running up the side etc. I've never seen a messy fiber install before and have overseen many of them in the past. 

 

Has anyone come across this and been able to deal with it with a structured argument to change their minds? Or even a ufb installer that would be able to give a good idea of what the install would involve (can give more details of the place later if that's the case), or possibly how to find out which one their copper line is so i can introduce a rat to it.. or any other suggestions?

Weighsone: Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback! :) pretty good points with property value etc. will try suss a time to talk with them next week and hopefully get it sorted
Good luck.  Go gentle. I'd put the suggestion to them that they allow the install to go ahead but only if they're happy with how Chorus plan to do the install as you can cancel at an point.  They'll need to say yes to the install first then be involved with the scoping.  I wonder if they can be put down as a site contact for the job?
